Hey everyone,
We’re currently working on a soil sensor to help improve watering and irrigation.
Before moving further, we’d really like to understand how people think about soil sensors — whether you’ve used one or not.
Do you see this as something useful for your watering setup?
We put together a short 3-min survey to collect some feedback:Soil Monitoring Usage & Needs Survey
Your input will directly help shape what we build next.
Really appreciate any thoughts 
I used my own solution. It is important to know the ph, humidity, etc. Since the composition of the soil is different, you need several of these devices to accurately determine when there is too much water and when not. You can see how I solved the irrigation in this article: Automatic watering system
I would appreciate a WiFi ultrasonic water level sensor that monitors water tanks.
Thx a lot.
To control a pump or monitor the water level?
To monitor the water level.
I understand.
The problem is accuracy. I have some ones but they are rubbish. I think they just measure the resistance between two tracks on a pointed PCB. To be cheap I think they have to do something so simple.
So how do you get people to pay more for a better product… I’ve largely given up on mine. Going to try

The MS01 sensors are unreliable. After 6 months to a maximum of 1 year, the sensors corrode and look like the attached images. And the humidity reading is no longer accurate. I should mention that I use these sensors for some potted plants on my balcony. I sprayed the sensor on the left side of the image to cover the copper surface and insulate it, in an attempt to reuse it. But the humidity reading is still inaccurate.
