The plant sensor that tells you when to water
Push it into the pot, connect it to your WiFi and that's it. When the soil dries out you get a notification on your phone. It also tells you if the plant needs more light or is getting cold.

Five readings in one sensor
- Soil moisture: At root level, where it matters.
- Soil temperature: It affects how the plant takes up water.
- Air temperature: Picks up the cold from a window or the heat from a radiator.
- Air humidity: Key for calatheas, ferns and other tropical plants.
- Light: How much it gets during the day, using the clear cover in the box.

- Plant identification: Take a photo to find out what it is and how to care for it.

Frequently asked questions
How does the sensor know when I should water?
It measures soil moisture at root level and compares it with what your species needs, which you choose in the app from over 15,000. When it drops below that level, you get a notification.
Do I need a hub or bridge?
No. The sensor connects directly to your 2.4 GHz WiFi. You only need the free JPAB Garden app for iOS or Android.
How long does the battery last and how is it charged?
Over 12 months per charge in normal use. The lithium battery comes in the box. When it runs out, take it out and charge it with the JPAB USB-C charger, sold separately.
Does the app have a subscription or hidden costs?
No. The app is free with no fees. You pay for the sensor once.
Does it work outdoors?
Yes. It's IP65 rain-proof and works from -10 °C to +60 °C. Fine for terraces, balconies and veg patches as long as your WiFi reaches.
Do I need one sensor per plant?
Each sensor measures the pot it's in. Similar plants grouped together can share one as a reference. For delicate plants one each is best, which is why the 3-pack is cheaper per unit.
Is it a good gift for someone who isn't into technology?
Yes. You set it up once in the app and then just follow the alerts. One beta tester gave it to his dad, who struggles with apps, and he got it straight away.
How does it measure light?
Light measurement is enabled by fitting the clear cover that comes in the box.
Is it compatible with Home Assistant?
Yes. Besides the app, the sensor offers MQTT and an API and integrates with Home Assistant. See the integrators guide.
How long does shipping take and how much is it?
