Review: Good for veggie growers, save time, save money! - EXACATLY WHAT I NEED! If you’re a veggie grower who travels a lot or just hates the guesswork of watering like me,try this‌. It's affordable and accurate. Just insert them into the soil and leave them there. No need to remove it from soil. No need to clean after each use. The moisture level will be automatically detected and displayed on the sensor or app if you connect it with RainPoint wifi hub. Bought the gateway+sensor kit and six individual sensors to take care of my veggie garden during my 4-week business trip in Europe, so that I don’t need to pay for plant-sitting. The app is quite user-friendly and connection is stable. Integration the sensors with my existing RainPoint smart watering system is a breeze. I checked the app daily during my trip to see how my veggies doing and feel stay connected with them while I am away.I am very pleased that all my veggies are doing well when I am back. It's a huge help to save my time and water bill in my daily plant care routine no matter where I am. P.S. Different plants have different watering frequency and change of season or ambient humidity/temperature also affect their watering needs. I utilize the sensors to help determine the preferred moisture level for different plants and the appropriate watering schedules, which is great. Love the reliability and convenience this product brings!
Review: It actually works! - Finally a moisture monitoring system that works! I've been looking for a way to monitor the moisture level in my Bonsai trees, outdoor planters, and indoor plants for a long time. I've tried a couple other products on the market and they're no where near as advanced and well thought out as these! Pros - System can monitor more sensors than you'd ever need - Ability to create alarms that send notifications based on humidity and or battery level. - interface is very intuitive. Creating alarms "scenes" is easy. - Wifi device seems to be fine connecting to devices located ~20ft away and through walls. - So far it's proving to be waterproof. - Ability to chart and log historic moisture levels. - Sensors seem to be working in 4" deep pots. - Individual sensors display % Moisture. Cons - Requires a 2.4Ghz wifi connection and will not connect to a SSID that was broadcasting both 2.4 & 5. - Connects to alibababa hosted servers in China. - An absolute bear to setup if you have an advanced firewall running Suricata / Snort! This tripped 3 Snort rules. - The sensors require a Phillips screw driver (included) to access the batteries. - There doesn't appear to be a rubber gasket sealing the battery compartment. - The sensors require ~ 6" of soil to fully seat. - Instructions are near worthless! I could write better instructions in my sleep!

## Features

The reading is showed on the LCD display 24/7, so that you can check it at a glance at anytime. For manual detection, just simply short press the button and you will get the reading within seconds. For remote monitoring via our RAINPOINT Home app, you must connect a compatible WiFi hub (2.4 GHz only, model: HWG023/HWG023WBRF/HWG040), sold separately.

- 【☔Indoor & Outdoor Use】IPX5 waterproof protection against rainy seasons and your kid's "helpful" watering sprees. Toss it in steamy fruiting chamber, parched raised beds, or fussy monstera pots — this little smart soil monitor logs every soil moisture change. Gardening shouldn't be a weatherman guessing game.
- 【🚀Capacitive Probe】Unlike traditional resistive probes which are prone to rust causing resuced accuracy, our RAINPOINT high-precision soil senor maps moisture with a long-lifespan capacitive probe. Easily know your pothos is thirsty before it droops, or your peppers need a drink without digging.
- 【📋What's In The Box】1*Smart Soil Moisture Meter, 1*pH Test Strips, 1*Phillips Screwdriver

## Questions & Answers

**Q: In order to use RAINPOINT Home app, do I need to pair the sensor with a WIFI hub?**
A: Yes, you need to pair it with a compatible WiFi hub (models: HWG023, HWG023WBRF, or HWG040) to enjoy smart features like low moisture alert, remote monitoring, data logging, etc. When not paired with the hub, you won't be able to use the app.

**Q: Why the moisture reading varies in different spots of a houseplant pot?**
A: Due to factors like soil composition, the way you water, pot shape, plant root distribution, causing some areas to retain more moisture than others, especially if the pot is not evenly watered or if the soil has uneven drainage properties.

**Q: Why does my soil moisture meter reads dry even though I just watered my plants?**
A: It could be due to several factors:1.Root bound plant;2.Too much sand or drainage-improving materials;3.Incorrect insertion of the meter;4.Faulty soil moisture meter;5.Hydrophobic soil;6.Using too little water.

**Q: Do I need to clean the sensor after each use like most of other soil meters in the market?**
A: No, you can leave our soil meter in the soil and get real-time reading 24/7. As our sensor is designed to be corrosion-proof, that why it has much longer lifespan than others.

**Q: What should I be aware of when use soil meter products?**
A: In order to get accurate result, aim for a firm,but not overly tight or loose contact with the soil. And also try to avoid forceful pushing, as this can damage the roots or the meter.

### ⭐ Not working as designed!
*by S***H on July 26, 2025*

Nice design, decent iOS App (RainPoint Home), small WiFi bridge that's easy to setup and connect to WiFi (2.4GHz only) and to sensors, as well as easy firmware updates and comes with a screwdriver to install and replace the sensor 3 x AAA batteries that are NOT included, but that's where the good things stop. The purpose of this device is to alert (and potentially trigger events) based on soil humidity levels and thats not working! The RainPoint Home App has "Smart Scenes" where you can setup events and alerts but they don't work/trigger. I managed to to get one alert to appear in the log section of "Smart Scenes" but there was no push notification or email sent out. Subsequent tests with the bridge and sensor in immediate proximity showed the sensor itself is detecting moisture (LCD showed 99%), but the bridge had no idea, created no log events, no notifications and no emails went out. That's a showstopper and defeats the purpose of the device. I emailed support with timestamped screenshots and pictures but don't hold high hopes. If support manages to resolve the issues I will return and provide an update...
