## Questions & Answers

**Q: It's doesn't state how the moisture is measured?**
A: Dear customer, 
Please insert the WH51 into the soil (not hard soil) until the whole black probe is totally into the soil. The moisture data of soil is measured by the sensor probe.

**Q: i need to monitor the moisture content of 12 plants in 10 gallon indoor pots what would I order? "  the gateway says it only supports 8**
A: I have tried 4 or 5 brands over the years, these work the best.  Adding them to the gateway is not very straight forward though and they lose the friendly name you give them regularly.  I had to actually write on the sensors with a sharpie of their assigned location, so I could remember each season, rather than starting over with a full reset each season.  They also stay connected at a decent distance, which most other brands don't do.

**Q: do you leave it in the ground or just insert it to get a reading**
A: I do not leave it in the ground. I insert into the ground as required, take the reading and remove from the ground immediately

**Q: How many WH51 sensors can the WH0291 monitor support?  I think it's a 1 to 1 relationship?**
A: The picture is of the base station that I have personally six sensors on currently, but I also have the monitor and the monitor only works with one sensor

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hands down the BEST soil moisture meters!
*by Y***Y on November 26, 2023*

I have tried sooooo many different moisture meters from really cheap crap with double metal rods that show light intensity, moisture, and soil pH which is always inaccurate, single metal rod by XLUX company which are very reliable and very accurate but you have to poke the soil in multiple places which damages roots, to expensive ones by Blumat that cost $90 per each meter which is way overpriced and it only shows the moisture without any graph 📈 or remote Bluetooth or Wi-Fi capabilities, and bunch of other ones that were always showing wrong readings, until someone told me to try these Ecowitt WH51 and WH51L sensors. The WH51 model is great and shows moisture levels from the top 7 inches of soil which is great for all types of pots up to 7 to 10 gallons. You can and should also buy their Wi-Fi Gateway that gives you access to the moisture meter data from anywhere in the world and it comes with graphs that show previous days, weeks, months readings that you can compare and dial in your watering habits for better performance. You can add up to 8 devices per each GW1100 Wi-Fi Gateway and it comes with an app, as well as their website and you can set up alerts to come in through the app, as well as get an email alert when soil goes below your indicated level which is very very useful. Now when it comes to raised beds and 20+ gallon containers I had to purchase the WH51L model which comes with a probe attached to 1 meter long cable which allows you to use them in deep pots/beds/containers and they can also be connected to the same GW1100 Wi-Fi Gateway.The WH51L model had just came out 2 weeks ago and is only available on Ecowitt's site, but I was able to buy them 2 weeks prior to them being available for sale and it turns out both of these models are very accurate. The Wi-Fi gateway also has a temperature and humidity and pressure sensor which gives you readings of the room where the gateway is located. I plugged in mine inside my grow room next to my grow tents to monitor the temperature and humidity inside that room to make sure my grow tents are in an optimal environment. I can't say enough good things about Ecowitt! Customer service is very helpful and very responsive. The only thing I did not like is that they are based in China and you can't really call them and the only method of communication is via email but like I said they are very helpful and responsive, however, they'll respond within 24 hours. If you haven't tried this company yet, then don't waste your money on anything else and do yourself a favor get this Wi-Fi Gateway along with the moisture meters because you won't be disappointed. I was very surprised that they are very inexpensive in comparison to other meters who have half the functions or even quarter functions and work so great and the battery lasts way over a year. I mean when comparing to the Blumat meter that cost $90 it's like comparing apples to oranges because for $90 it should be able to do more, at least have remote capability but it doesn't even have that option. In my opinion it's extremely overpriced and these Ecowitt devices without a doubt are blowing away Blumat meters. I hope this helps 🪴🪴UPDATE: It's been 1.5 years since I got these sensors and the batteries gone from 1.6v power which is completely full batteries to now 1.5v and a couple of them at 1.4v which is almost full and still at 90% capacity. I haven't disconnected the batteries once and I use them continuously cycle after cycle and the only thing I do is I rinse them in between cycles and then insert them into the new container and change the name in the app and voila. Just amazing! 🤩

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Florida-Proof and Customer-Proof
*by S***H on September 3, 2025*

I own a bunch of these. They’re accurate, easy to set up, and basically maintenance-free. Two of mine gave up, but before I could even get annoyed, the seller had replacements on the way. That’s customer service done right. Living in Florida means these sensors sit through daily rain and brutal heat, and they still perform like champs. Well-built, modern, and integrates smoothly into my setup.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent addition to your ecowitt system - helpful for irrigation!
*by C***C on September 19, 2025*

These little sensors are awesome. I use them to help me determine when I need to water my lawn vs just running things on a set schedule.I find they're pretty consistent across the handful of sensors I have. They're also great on batteries, I'm using a mix of lithium (not rechargeable) and rechargeable NiMH batteries in them and they both seem to work well and have lasted most of the season without needing a replacement. I don't trust alkalines to not leak, but they would work fine too.The one criticism I may have is that they are fragile, if you accidentally kick or step on them they will snap at the interface of the body and electrodes and require replacement. My clumsy self has destroyed a couple of them. In a planter or vase or whatever, you would never run into issues, however I think there's probably a way to design them to be "safer" and less prone to breakage in a lawn or garden bed that would have someone walking around, with a flexible material at the interface of the body and electrodes. They would be 5 stars if not for this small issue you may never run into.I don't seem to have any connection issues and they show up consistently in my ecowitt app. They just "pair" quickly and easily and the signal seems pretty strong. Their overall design is nice and they don't look out of place in a lawn or garden, really. The weather caps seem to keep any water intrusion out and they have been outside in downpours with no issues.
