UPDATE: After investigating our connection problems further, I discovered that our Alexa units scattered throughout our house connected to each wireless moisture sensor without permission! I believe this is another attempt by Alexa to collect more private information, and in doing so, they seem to have malfunctioned the RainPoint application on my phone, costing me four or five hours of time sniffing through the Alexa skills application to find the problem. Their Homgar smart application was screwing up the application. The Alexa group just turned it on us without asking. That is pretty rich! Enough is enough Hey Alexa, keep your hands off my private stuff unless I say it's okay! That was a small invasion of privacy, but seriously, STOP sneaking around inserting stuff into our programs and applications and slowing them down or fouling up applications that we want to use without Alexa's attempt to grab additional information. That's pathetic! I think it's about time to delete the Alexa application. Your intrusive behavior is not welcomed.CORRECTION, this RainPoint unit is a great product. Highly recommend it. Just make sure to delete or at minimum Disable the intrusive Alexa skills that forced it's way into their the RainPoint program.

EXACATLY WHAT I NEED! If you’re a veggie grower who travels a lot or just hates the guesswork of watering like me,try this‌. It's affordable and accurate. Just insert them into the soil and leave them there. No need to remove it from soil. No need to clean after each use. The moisture level will be automatically detected and displayed on the sensor or app if you connect it with RainPoint wifi hub.Bought the gateway+sensor kit and six individual sensors to take care of my veggie garden during my 4-week business trip in Europe, so that I don’t need to pay for plant-sitting. The app is quite user-friendly and connection is stable. Integration the sensors with my existing RainPoint smart watering system is a breeze. I checked the app daily during my trip to see how my veggies doing and feel stay connected with them while I am away.I am very pleased that all my veggies are doing well when I am back. It's a huge help to save my time and water bill in my daily plant care routine no matter where I am.P.S. Different plants have different watering frequency and change of season or ambient humidity/temperature also affect their watering needs. I utilize the sensors to help determine the preferred moisture level for different plants and the appropriate watering schedules, which is great. Love the reliability and convenience this product brings!

Last week, I purchased two of these sensors, a hub and a Smart 2 zone water timer. All Rainpoint products.After a few hours fiddling with I couldn't get the hub to load. A call to customer service helped find that the issue was that the Home App is not the correct app to use. The app needed is Rainpoint Tuya. Using the Tuya version of the app the hub and Smart 2 zone timer work great.Following the instructions included with the sensors, I cannot get the sensors to connect to the app. I guess tomorrow will be another customer service call. The sensors function in stand alone mode, they just won't connect wirelessly. The wireless function is why I purchased these items.

Easy to setup with the new wifi base. Seems pretty accurate and has a quick response to watering. I do wish there was a little better guidance on what soil type to pick when setting up. I found it useful to completely soak my soil (a custom houseplant mix) and then cycle through a few of the soil types to find something that read in the 90+ range. Just need to do the full soak once to figure soil type. Also wish there would be some integration with smartphone apps (Google/Apple/Amazon), but it's good enough for now

Instructions are not clear. It's difficult to understand what the display means. Support is not good,,i sent pictures of my order so they would know the item number to offer support. Twice they said they didn't get the information. If I don't get support today, I'll return it.

These sensors are great. They've really taken the guess work out of when to water my trees which has made caring for them so much easier. I've now purchased 13 of these and put them around my yard. While the battery consumption initially seemed high (I was getting a low battery alert after 3 days) I didn't charge them to see how long they would actually last before dying. Its now been 8 days and the sensor is still working so maybe the low battery indicator just comes on a little too early? Overall great prodcut.

Last year I purchased their older Bluetooth model which was okay but had shortcomings that this new model overcame. The biggest improvement was this model has a digital readout right on the meter so you can check without your phone. The Wifi also allows for email notifications that tell you when water levels are low which is a gamechanger. My older model had issues with sun causing inaccurate soil temperatures, I have not had an opportunity to check that this year. The biggest criticism is that you need to remove two very small phillips screws to replace the battery. Most people will have to buy a specialized small phillips screwdriver to do this, not cool! The company also should have offered older bluetooth customers a bigger discount to replace their hub for this newer model. I've not been impressed with their customer service.Update March 2025 - Because this is a Third Party seller, they get your contact information on a review so you are not anonymous. Shame on Amazon for giving this info to them! Now customer service is offering to credit me for my old outdated Bluetooth models. So apparently customers have to leave reviews to get service.
