Review: Good, but let down by software - Sensor seems to accurately detect soil moisture level, but i had hoped the Gardena app could "average" values from multiple sensors in different parts of the garden (some with more light etc than others) The current version of the Gardena watering smart app only permits a single sensor per watering zone Review: Saves water and has long battery life - Stops unnecessary watering when used with the Gardena Smart watering system.
