Ecowitt WH 51 Wireless multichannel soil moisture sensor

[@traktorscracht5872]

Can anyone help me? What percentage should I have when I water and what percentage should I have when I need to water again?

[@DaryaRyanPhotography]

Thank you for the video. I wonder if you can show data for multiple sensors on the display at once? If you have multiple pots for ex. And can you label (sensor 1 - succulents; sensor 2 - rose bush; etc.) the sensors on your phone app?

[@WesHicks1]

Yes and yes

[@debo5227]

So, it's important to calibrate the device first? I'm going to be using it in my home garden

[@noaharnold3692]

Good presentation. Ima have to grab a few

[@MoatazBillehMednini]

very thorough, Thanks bro

[@jmdds]

I could not see any calibration as you left it 0%AD at 70 and 100%AD at 500 and magically the moisture went from 76% to 100%. Restart again.It should have read 100% in the wet sand and not 76%

[@noaharnold3692]

Keep in mind the CEC of the media. Something like sand would never measure 100% and neither would a peat based media. I bet you wouldn’t get over 40% in a soil with perlite.

Thanks for the video. Good job! BTW, what does what does "AD" in soil AD stand for?

[@jacobchang4588]

Found out from a competing company (Ambient Weather)'s soil moisture sensor manual. AD stands for "Analogue to Digital." "The calibration equation is defined as: % Soil Moisture (calibrated) = (Now AD - 0%AD) *100 / (100%AD - 0%AD) Where AD stands for “analog to digital” and is the unscaled digital value measured by the sensor, Now AD is the currently measured AD and the other parameters are described below. "

how is the accuracy of this instrument?

[@artc8577]

Supposedly 1%

[@ChiMasterFlex]

Just to be fair, the accuracy of the resolution is 1%. Which makes sense, because its supports integers from 0->100. The accuracy of the instrument might be off. But probably sufficient from what most people would want to do with it.

[@infopem]

where can I buy it?

[@BIGMIKESKNUTTS]

Build a soil

[@tthtonekid]

So this doesnt work without the console right?

[@WesHicks1]

What does AD stand for?

[@jacobchang4588]

that's been my question as well.

[@jacobchang4588]

AD = "Analogue to Digital"

H9ws the kong term reliability? I really want something that will last 10years

[@Markkonto]

I have the sensor for over 2 years and it still works. It is planted in the ground in the garden even in winter when it is sometimes freezing cold.

[@Sky_Long]

does it work with rockwool?

[@Markkonto]

Probably not for this the sensor was designed. I didn't try to put it in rockwool.
