Guardian Monitor Wi-Fi for Real-Time Monitoring

I bought this unit because I figured 'why not?' All the great reviews, so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. The biggest difference I can see when using this unit, is that the PH readings are much more accurate when the water is at different temps. The water is very cold here when it first comes out of the tap. This is when I notice the cheaper meters are very inaccurate. When the water warms up to room temperature, the cheaper units get more accurate.Bottom line; Most gardeners retrieve water from the tap and immediately mix their nutrients. So they don't get accurate readings. The Bluelab unit is WAY more accurate through all temperatures. This way, I get a much more accurate nutrient mix right off the bat, and don't have to worry about PH swings so much after the rez water reaches room temps.The calibration of the unit is very simple and straight forward. I now own 3 of these, and am getting ready to buy several more for my farm to table dispensary in northern MN.

I honestly don’t understand the bad reviews I’ve seen — most of it seems like user error. They say they can’t connect it to the Edenic App, but they’re missing one key step: you have to put the Guardian into PROVISION mode first (Settings → Temp button) before pairing. Almost like it’s not written in the instructions!Once it’s set up, it works flawlessly. I get real-time updates on my phone if anything drifts out of range, so I can fix it before feeding and avoid pH lockout issues.Super reliable, super convenient, and gives real peace of mind. Definitely worth the money 👌I really wanted to spend the extra to go with the PH dosing model but unfortunately it’s missing a sensor probe that I needed

I only read negative reviews to gather my opinions on a product. If you're serious about buying a product like this, consider that pH probes are not a lifetime investment due to their nature, and move on with life. This unit has a permanently fixed EC sensor, and a replaceable pH sensor. I've purchased two of these units. The first came out of the box and required no calibration as far as I could tell. The second unit came with a defective pH probe (again reference why these probes are problematic in general regardless of manufacturer)...Immediate and awesome response from Bluelab support and they are sending me a replacement probe with no issues. The reviews I've read about this company are consistent with my experience, and I cannot recommend them more.If you want to integrate your own app with their API, it's braindead simple. I cannot recommend this product more.

I can’t even get the app to load on my phone. It just cycles continuously until I close it. I’ve deleted and reinstalled it multiple times but it’s not working. I’d like to give the monitor a good review but it doesn’t work as advertised. I bought it for the remote capabilities specifically. I already have good monitors for ph, tds, ec and temp. The app was the selling point for the Bluelab Guardian. I’m returning it and buying a Growee system. It’s a little more expensive but the app works.

I was beginning to think a continuous PH/PPM meter that actually works even existed. Ive tried so many and the all were garbage!!Finally Bluelab actually has one that works! And this this works perfect. No more jumping PH values and wondering which value to go by on when every second you look at it sways all over the place. This one is precise and shows a perfectly steady number at all times! Now I feel more comfortable knowing I have a meter that is dependable. Yes, it costs way more than these other brands, but at least this one works. Easy calibration and popped it right in my resovoir bucket hydro system and working like a champ. Thank-you!!!

UPDATE: You can see my original review below- it was great, until it wasn'tAfter less than one year, it started sending false warnings about pH and temperature. The alerts do not tell you the values they are reading that are out of your specified range, so it makes it difficult to figure out what is happening. I go check the monitor and the values are dead on where they belong. You get so many warnings that you end up turning off notifications so you aren't bombarded every few seconds. This renders the alert system useless. I missed some real warnings about temperature and lost my crop, probably because of this.When I reported it to customer service, they recommended that I widen my specified range. Seriously? How pathetic was that. This year I tried again. They keep delaying, asking me idiotic questions, such as, "Can you calibrate it again (for the third time?)", "Can you factory reset it again (even though the last factory reset did not fix it)", "Have you noticed it suddenly restarting (oh sure, it reboots itself constantly, and I didn't think that was worthy of mention)", "Are all of the buttons working properly? (again, no, nothing is working and I didn't think that was worthy of mention)."All delay tactics to push your case beyond the statute of limitations. They do not support their product. I strongly recommend you use another product.Original review:I used this to track my hydroponics system. I have had no connection issues. It has worked as expected, sending alarms when values stray beyond specs. My system is outdoors with a mesh network hub within 20 feet. I love that I can just check my phone to ensure everything is working okay.

Fantastic customer service! Comes with warranty and they are super quick to replace broken parts will definitely buy agin.

App does not function at all. Would not recommend if you plan to use the wifi function. The manual viewing the lcd works fine. Calibration was simple and it gives stable readings. WiFi function and app not working is a huge downside for the price. Very disappointing in this portion of it. The app literally won’t let you login and they say on their website they’re working on it. Hopefully to have resolution 10 days out. 10 days!!!???

It is a complete head ache. I bought 2 of these. One arrived that the probe is not working. I saw that the connection inside was cut. Contacted bluelab but needs a lot of video, photo and explanation. Last one was the edenic app is a pain in the ass to open. Reseted the phone, updated the software, reinstalled the app, cleared the cache, changed the password or email, try it with another phone, app would not open. Ending was to return it.

Hallo, die Marke ist für mich ein Gamechanger! Top verarbeitet, hohe Zuverlössigkeit und Kundenservice der auch Global funktioniert. Dieser Monitor hatte jetzt 1Jahr zuverlässig meine hydroponische Anlage gemessen. Was für mich wichtig war eine einfache Kalibrierung und das Kontrollieren über die App. Ich kann den Guardian weiter empfehlen und gebe diesen auch nicht mehr ab!

Für den Preis absolut inakzeptabel.Der EC hat eine Abweichung von 0,4 und das selbst nach der Gerätekalibrierung.Geht gar nichtDie APP funktioniert gar nicht, die lädt und lädt und lädt

Ich nutze den Bluelab Guardian Monitor für mein Hydrosystem – und bin rundum zufrieden. Endlich entfällt das ständige manuelle Nachmessen! Das Gerät liefert in Echtzeit verlässliche Werte für pH, EC und Temperatur – auf einen Blick und ohne Wartezeit.Besonders hilfreich ist die permanente Anzeige: So kann ich sofort reagieren, wenn sich etwas verändert. Die Kalibrierung geht schnell und einfach, und die mitgelieferten Kalibrierflüssigkeiten reichen für den Anfang vollkommen aus.Die Verarbeitung ist hochwertig, die Anzeige gut ablesbar, und durch die Halterung lässt sich das Gerät bequem direkt am System befestigen. Ich nutze es in Kombination mit einer automatisierten pH-Regulierung – funktioniert tadellos.Fazit: Wer Hydroponik ernsthaft betreibt, spart mit dem Bluelab Guardian jede Menge Zeit und Nerven. Absolute Kaufempfehlung für alle, die Wert auf stabile Bedingungen und gesunde Pflanzen legen!
