The Gardena soil moisture sensor is very easy to connect to a different viellzahl Gardena Water Timers and Computers. The connection cable with 5 meter length is quite short, however, and could cause problems for many users. I then used the extra extension cord. The Soil Moisture Sensor can be quickly and easily put into operation. Once again, the proper setting is made for the soil, he is working to date easily and reliably. In this rainy summer he made previously shcon that is not irrigated un Nütz, although the ground is still moist enough. He can not prevent is irrigated again that just before a shower of course ;-) Through two status LEDs can be seen, whether to fecuht at the last measurement of the ground or was too dry, thus the sensor can be very easily adjusted. I am very satisfied so far and think that it in the long run is a worthwhile investment. The only drawback is perhaps the chunky appearance and size. Due to limited 5 meter radius, a place must be found, which corresponds to the conditions fro the to beregneden area, if possible, the same sunlight and irrigation (the sensor should be just like the rest of the world are also irrigated. As a result, the sensor can not be unfortunately necessarily very good at hiding. To adjust the adjustment of soil moisture is stiff enough that they will not be adjusted automatically or adjusted through children's fingers :-)
Summary: I would recommend the sensor, it is processed properly and which is connected UDN adjust easily. He is reliable and if you get it cheap (sometimes as from 35) it is also worthwhile financially. This of course is highly dependent on the surface to be sprinkled or the amount of water.
