minus-square@Gpinmglink3•1 year agoI bought one too andI love mine. I feel like my plants like it too!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•1 year agoWhy wouldn’t they? It just measures electrical resistance of the soil, less moisture means more resistance. Nice and simple. I have cheap one connected to arduino, and small water pump conected to it too. It works nicely.
minus-square@LuckyBoylink1•1 year agoThe soil composition, minerals and nutrients can change the eletrical resistance. Thats what i read somewhere.
minus-square@Auxlink1•1 year agoI have remote sensors integrated into Home Assistant. As well as a DIY watering solution. My plants get watered even when I’m on a two week vacation in the other part of the world!
