Gardena Soil Moisture Sensor

The Gardena Soil Moisture Sensor is an intelligent irrigation accessory designed to optimise automatic watering systems by monitoring soil conditions in real time. Compatible with almost all Gardena Water Controls and Multi-Channel Controls, this sensor measures moisture levels and transmits data directly to your control unit, automatically cancelling scheduled watering cycles when soil moisture is already sufficient. This prevents over-watering, promotes healthier plant growth, and reduces water consumption.

The compact, battery-powered design makes it versatile enough for lawns, flowerbeds, and even smaller plant pots. Its low-profile construction with a flat surface allows lawn mowers and robotic mowers to pass safely over the unit without interference or damage during routine maintenance. The five-metre connection cable provides flexible installation options and can be extended up to a maximum of 105 metres using separately available extension cables, making it suitable for gardens of various sizes.

Powered by two standard AA batteries (not included), the sensor typically operates for approximately one year under normal use. An integrated LED indicator signals when batteries are running low, with this alert also displayed on the connected Water Control unit for convenient monitoring. Sensor readings are viewable directly on your Water Control, giving you complete oversight of your irrigation system's performance.
