Detail

Typical Applications

1. Indoor Potted Plants: Ideal for stable indoor environments, smart soil moisture and temperature sensor measures soil moisture (0–100%) and temperature (-10–60°C) via Bluetooth or Zigbee, supporting both automatic and app-controlled watering.
2. Balcony Plants: Designed for areas exposed to sunlight and wind, ATO wireless soil sensor monitors soil moisture in real time and can trigger automatic watering. All data is easily accessible through a mobile app.
3. Small Home Garden: Provides instant readings of soil moisture and temperature with smart irrigation control. The temperature display can switch between °C and °F for convenience.
4. Sunroom / Small Greenhouse: Smart soil sensor ensures precise monitoring of soil conditions. With Zigbee connectivity, it covers larger areas and supports centralized watering management.
5. Small Vegetable Greenhouse: Continuously tracks soil moisture levels (kept above 30%) and reports real-time data to enable accurate irrigation while reducing manual labor.

Note: The smart soil moisture and temperature sensor is only slightly water-resistant. Avoid placing it in fully exposed soil during heavy rain, flooding, or strong irrigation.

How to Choose: Bluetooth or Zigbee?

Choose Bluetooth(ATO-BSS-YC-STH-A) if:

• You need a simple and quick setup with no gateway required
• You mainly check data at close range (e.g., indoor or balcony plants)
• You prefer lower cost and direct connection via mobile app

Choose Zigbee(ATO-ZSS-YC-STH-A) if:

• You want remote monitoring through a gateway
• You need to manage multiple sensors in a larger area (e.g., greenhouse or garden)
• You plan to build a smart irrigation system with automation and device linkage

FAQ

Q1: Do I need a gateway to use this smart soil sensor?

Bluetooth soil sensor connects directly to your phone, ideal for single pots or small gardens. Zigbee soil sensor requires a gateway but supports remote monitoring, larger areas, and smart irrigation automation.

Q2: Can the soil moisture and temperature sensor be used outdoors?

It’s slightly water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Avoid heavy rain, flooding, or direct irrigation. Using a cover or placing it under eaves is recommended.

Q3: Can ATO smart soil sensor automate watering?

The sensor itself does not water plants. When connected to compatible smart devices or irrigation systems—especially via Zigbee—it can trigger automatic watering based on soil moisture. Bluetooth version can provide reminders or allow manual control through the app.

Q4: Is garden soil moisture sensor easy to install and use?

Very easy. Insert batteries, press the button to pair with the app, and place it near plant roots. °C/°F can be switched with one click. Works with both automatic and manual watering.
