btw, if you have any data about the soil moisture sensor performance, i would be keen to hear about it. other than being rather short, they look like an excellent low-cost sensor, well-suited for home/smallfarm greenhouses, flower gardens, perhaps even orchards.
I have 4 of them in the garden 3 in flower beds and one in the vege patch. they take a single AA cell and report the helath of the battery along with the moisture reading.
do they work well in temperature extremes?
Well its 44c here right now, and climbing, and nothing has stopped working, dunno about freezing temps, it never gets colder than 0 here.
does the calibration stick, or do they float over time?
Haven't done the cal routine yet - so cant answer that.
is there a limit to the number of soil moisture sensors that the GW1000 will recognize?
It will handle 8 soil moisture, 4 particulate, 8 other temp/humidity sensors and there is another 12 channels I'm not sure about.
have you tried to take one apart to see if you can extend the probe so it could be placed a meter underground?
No :) interesting prospect though - why would you want to do that ? cheers Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
