Frequently Asked Questions

The soil sensor includes a silicon (sand-like) medium cap, which reduces the sensor sensitivity to different soil types, since the silicon is a “known medium”.

A 48 to 72-hour time period is required for the sensor to completely dry out from a completely saturated state when transferred from water and air.

When placed in soil, the soil moisture sensor responds faster, because moisture is transferred freely in a similar medium (dirt, soil) through osmosis, as opposed to air or water.
