Gardena Soil moisture sensor, 5 m

The GARDENA Soil Moisture Sensor automatically ensures demand-based, water-efficient garden irrigation by measuring the existing soil moisture and transmitting the data to a compatible GARDENA irrigation controller or multi-channel control system. Depending on the moisture level, the current watering cycle is skipped or stopped, providing plants with reliable, precise care. The compact sensor uses an electrothermal measuring principle and can be positioned flexibly thanks to its 5-meter connection cable. Its low profile and flat top also make it suitable for use with lawn mowers and robotic lawn mowers. All readings can be viewed on the connected irrigation controller. A low battery warning for the two AA batteries (not included), which provide approximately one year of operation, is displayed both on the controller and by an LED in the battery compartment to ensure reliable operation. This GARDENA Soil Moisture Sensor enables demand-based, efficient control of garden irrigation, saving water and providing plants with ideal growing conditions.

• Reliable automatic irrigation: If the sensor detects that the soil has sufficient moisture, the scheduled watering cycle is automatically skipped or interrupted
• Small and compact: Suitable for lawns, flower beds, and planters; can also be used with lawn mowers and robotic lawn mowers
• The switching threshold is set on the irrigation controller, which also displays the measured soil moisture
• Battery indicators on the irrigation controller and in the battery compartment provide an early warning when the charge is low
• Flexible placement thanks to the 5-meter connection cable; can be extended with an extension cable
