The top layer of soil may look dry while moisture remains around the roots, or a pot may retain more water than expected.

This allows users to monitor changing conditions around indoor plants, conservatories or other protected growing areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a standalone manual meter, the Candeo sensor communicates through Zigbee. Once paired with a compatible coordinator, its readings can be accessed through platforms such as Home Assistant, SmartThings, Hubitat or Smart Life.
