Saved my plants
I travel often and this kit keeps my plants alive. The auto-watering feature is reliable. The capacitive sensor does not corrode like older models.

Great DIY component
Using this with an ESP32 for a smart home project. The analog output is smooth and easy to calibrate. Excellent quality for the price.

Pump is noisy
Sensor accuracy is good but the water pump makes a humming noise that is noticeable in a quiet room. Works as described otherwise.

Perfect for my herb garden
Easy to set up with my Arduino board. The moisture readings are consistent and the pump activates exactly when needed. Highly recommend for indoor plants.

Good value kit
Sensor works well and seems durable. The pump is a bit weak for large pots but perfect for small containers. Instructions could be more detailed.
Q: Is the probe corrosion resistant?
A: Yes, the probe uses gold plated nickel which significantly reduces corrosion compared to standard resistive sensors.
Q: Is sample code provided for Arduino?
A: Yes, you can find sample code and wiring diagrams in the product manual and on our official support website.
Q: Can the module handle outdoor rain?
A: The probe is water resistant, but the electronic module board should be kept in a dry enclosure if used outdoors.
Q: Can I power this with a USB cable?
A: Yes, the module operates on 5V DC so a standard USB power adapter or power bank works perfectly.
Q: Does it include tubing for the pump?
A: Yes, the package includes 1 meter of silicone tubing compatible with the included water pump.
