ECOWITT WH51 Soil Moisture Sensor Max 8 Channels Soil Humidity Tester - Accessory Only, Can Not Be Used Alone

Je cherchais un Testeur d'humidité du sol efficace et pas trop cher et je suis vraiment enchanté par ce produit. Extrêmement facile à paramétrer, en 10 minutes j’avais installé le module wifi et la sonde qui donnait 0% dans l’air et 100% dans un verre d’eau. L’idée pour moi est de surveiller l’arrosage d’une haie et on voit parfaitement l’arrosage automatique à 6H du matin et le retour à la normal le long de la journée. Rien à dire de négatif.

Sensor łączy się nie tylko z dedykowaną bramką WiFi. Połączył się z moją stacją sbs-ws-500 i dobrze pokazuje wilgotność gleby w ogrodzie. Wskazania mogę obserwować zarówno na stacji jak i w aplikacji Ecowitt. Polecam.

This review evaluates the “WH51 Soil Moisture Sensor” made by ECOWITT. The product was shipped with no excessive or wasteful packaging. What’s in the box: one (1) WH51 soil moisture sensor, and an owner’s manual. I will preface this review by saying that I’m a Country Boy whose entire life has revolved around flower and food gardens. Any gardener will tell you that the quality of your soil is instrumental for crop growth. I recently purchased an Ecowitt WittBoy weather station that supports a multitude of add-on sensors, this soil moisture sensor being one of them. For years I have done away without using a moisture meter due to wildly inaccurate readings I would get; so I was eager to try this unit out. First impressions: The overall quality of the meter looks very good, with a durable hard plastic ABS casing. The end cap unscrews to house an “AA” battery (not included, lithium recommended). The weatherproof end cap is further protected by a slide-on rubber cap. It is imperative to note that this is not a standalone sensor; you need an Ecowitt monitoring hub. The set-up was easy: install a new battery, open the Ecowitt APP that you set up with your monitoring hub, and add the WH51 sensor. Within a minute the sensor calibrates and sends real-time data back to you via your monitoring hub/APP. I bought this sensor to specifically monitor my hanging potted plants. I tested unit one of my pots by placing it as instructed. After acclimating (about 10-20 minutes) the sensor reported that the soil moisture content was 33%. To check the accuracy of the sensor, I installed an old-school analog probe in the same pot. After acclimating (about 10-20 minutes) the analog probe reported that the soil moisture content was 35%. The sensor appears to be accurate within reason. The WH51 sensor removes the guesswork about when and how much to water. My only suggestion to the manufacturer is to include a lug to tie a tether with a tag so that you don’t lose/forget about the sensor when you dump the pot! Since this really doesn’t take away from the usability of the product, I will not deduct any stars for it. In order to determine long-term meter durability and accuracy, I intend to monitor this product over the next 4-6 months. Should anything change over this period, I will update this review accordingly. Cost-effectiveness and value: Overall I am very satisfied with the product; it is compact, portable, and easy to use. At a current price of $32.99 (plus a $3 off coupon), it is of great value. In summary: the “WH51 Soil Moisture Sensor” made by ECOWITT is well made, compact, accurate, and easy to use. It delivers all this at a reasonably low price. This product is a must-have for the avid gardener. I would recommend this product without reservation. Pros 👍: ✔ Well made from quality materials. ✔ Very easy to set up and use. ✔ Sensor reports back every 60 seconds (as configured by your monitoring hub). ✔ Uses one (1) AA battery. ✔ IP66 water resistant rated. ✔ Removes the guesswork out of when to water. ✔ Accurate. ✔ Great price point, good value. Cons👎: ✘ None! Manufacturer Suggestions 🖐: ✔ Provide a lug to tie a tether marker to avoid loss.

Primero, excelente servicio de la tienda. El sensor trabaja muy bien, no fue problema emparejarlo y parece repetir las lecturas muy bien. Se integró bien con openHab y me permite automatizar el riego.

Tras probar diferentes medidores de humedad de suelo, y alguno no barato, tengo que decir que no solo esta sonda si no todo en el ecosistema ecowitt y su app funciona a la perfección (a falta de ver si esto es duradero y estable). Además de precisión en la medida, esta sonda lo tengo puesta bastante lejos del gateway, que está dentro de casa y con tres paredes de por medio pero llega perfectamente la señal. Veremos la batería de la sonda lo que dura, porque solo lleva una. Precio asequible, y vale lo que cuesta sin duda.
