Review: My only regret is that my plant doesn't need me anymore - Works pretty good with Home Assistant. Pairs easily as all THIRDREALITY zigbee devices do. One thing to note is that when using with HA, the "watering time" setting on the device will still be enforced and switch itself off. And the watering time setting is only on the hardware buttons and only in intervals of 10s. I wish the watering time was able to be set in HA. I use it for a small potted plant where 10s is perfect (gives about a shot glass of water), but for other cases you might want to set the hardware water limit high and then use a HA automation to fine tune the duration to shutofd (which might be a few seconds off due to zigbee communication time). The value is great, especially on sale. I can't imagine finding any similar product that works this well at this price point. Also note that this thing is pretty noisy (but not really "loud") when doing its job. If you schedule it, I would account for that. Didnt wake me up from the other room when I accidentally ran it at 4am. Have owned it a month and haven't needed to replace the batteries yet, if that's useful info to anyone worried about that. Also note I use rechargeable AAs.
Review: It keeps my roses watered, but... - It works out of the box and was easy to pair, but has a few limitations that advanced users might run into. The Good: - Came with everything you need - Easy to set up - It'z Zigbee, easy to connect to SmartThings - Easy to configure a watering schedule based on my 3R soil sensor The Bad: - Batteries drain fast, especially with thirsty plants - No way to connect to AC power to cut battery waste The Ugly: - Included tube is highly restrictive to flow rate - Included emitters are just a drip/stream emitter - Does not produce enough pressure / flow for off-the-shelf drip irrigation emitters to work - It's not loud but can feel a little noisy in a quiet room I got this because I have ADHD and always forget to water my indoor potted roses. I've constantly run into both over- and under- watering and it's been a constant battle to not kill my favorite plants. Even with the 3R soil sensor, which I do recommend btw, I would still miss a reminder and forget to water on time. This has largely solved that problem. My soil sensor reports the moisture drops below threshold and this kicks on and waters for me. Then I only need one notification to refill the water bucket, which is more forgiving if it takes me a day or two to get to it. I love that it's zigbee, so I don't need a bunch of 3rd party apps or hubs or nonsense to set up intelligent watering schedules or integrate it with various other sensors or devices. I like that I can adjust the watering schedule based on the time of day, light level, or ambient temperature, as well as soil moisture level. Where this falls short is that the emitters it comes with will drop a stream right in one small spot. It's great for small pots with small plants or for plants that can tolerate wet feet. But for full size tea roses in a 12" pot, the included emitters just do not put the water where you need it - which is everywhere but the crown. I've tested this with various off-the-shelf drip emitters. The spray style "umbrella" or "vortex" emitters don't work at all, too little flow at too little pressure. The sprinkler type emitters are a mixed bag, most don't work but a few get you a very little bit of sprinkler type spread but not enough to cover the whole pot and the spread is uneven with some streams going too far and others not going anywhere. The only off-the-shelf drip emitters I've gotten to work are the misting type, upside-down pointed down towards the soil. Unfortunately, that type of emitter is only slightly better than the included emitters, spraying all the water into one place. Right now the mister is what I'm using, and it does work, but it still concentrates too much water in the center of the pot right next to the crown, and for roses you want most of the water around the edges of the pot away from the crown. In my testing I have confirmed that the included clear tubing is way more constrictive to flow rate than ordinary drip line. I do get better flow rates with standard 1/4" OD drip tubing (DIG .170x.250 LDPE), which I'm in the process of switching over to. If you're working with standard off-the-shelf department store house plants, pothos and such, this will work GREAT just as it is and I strongly recommend it. If you have more "advanced user" indoor gardening needs, then this may work for you but you'll likely need to experiment with different tubing and emitters to get the most out of it. And there are some applications where it just may not work at all. I will note that I did mod mine to run on AC power. This is an "advanced" mod that requires a little EE know-how, so not something I can recommend. I took a female micro-USB charge port from an old cell phone and wired its power pins to the battery terminals inside the battery compartment. I used screws on the existing holes in the PCB of the charge port to affix it to the case of the watering station. This works great and the 5.5v USB power is perfectly adequate to keep this thing running indefinitely, with no wasted batteries. Photos: The device itself, the "mister" emitter I'm currently using, and my USB power mod If 3R sees this, my suggestions for improvement or a V2 would be: - Support for larger diameter tubing (1/4" ID or even 3/8", 3/8 would be great since it's a common size for desktop fountain pumps) - More powerful pump (just enough to get this thing to work OK with off-the-shelf drip sprinkler or spray emitters) - Better emitters or multiple emitter options - "Smart" emitters and tubing, with the soil sensor built-in to the emitter and wired back to the base unit, so only one zigbee radio can do both the sensing and the watering control - A proper DC barrel plug and AC wall wort to save on batteries (keep the battery compartment for people who want it, but put a barrel plug on the side so nobody has to mod it like I did) - A valve manifold for smart control of independent watering zones (I've spent a good deal of time trying to figure out how to make a smart valve manifold that could be injection molded at a fraction of the price of solenoids or adding multiple pumps, so 3R message me if you wanna talk shop)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does what it's supposed to in the simplest way possible.
*by S***C on July 30, 2025*

At it's current $35, I think this is a pretty good deal. I don't think I could get my plants watered during long trips by exploiting child labor for $35. I've ordered a second one for my orchids as their watering needs are a bit different. Setup was very easy, I use Home Assistant. It's a pretty simple device, which fits my needs. I have it set up to 5 potted leafy plants with an ugly Coffeemate creamer canister from Costco full of water (I wanted a lid with a sizeable container). I only used the included clear tubing for water intake. For output, I have a drip irrigation system I maintain already, so it was easy to cut off a few feet of 1/4" tubing and grab some connectors and heads. I used these adjustable drip heads from Amazon: https://a.co/d/jbTM3W2. The pump has more than enough power to push through all 5 pots, I prefer a slow drip for absorbtion - I absolutely do not want it to spill over or flow out the bottom while I'm gone. I did also order zigbee leak sensors, just in case, and the 3 cost more than this device. After setting it up, I did about 2 minutes worth of testing to set the flow I wanted. I was a bit surprised to see the batteries drop from 100% to 92%, but after an hour it went back to 100%. I'm still pondering whether I will make a step up converter with a usb plug rather than batteries. It hasn't had any dropped connections to my zigbee coordinator yet. One note, you should prime the intake hose. Mine struggled until I pulled the entire hose off the intake, dunked it into my container and pushed it back on with water filling the intake hose (tap the hose to get the air to flow out). I placed this device on top of the container (hole drilled through the lid for the hose) so it does not need to pump up hill, but setting it on the same level as the pots did not effect its water flow. I think I will set up to drip about 30 seconds every 3 days or so if I am out of town. I could see this being valuable on an ongoing basis for my leafy plants as they are all in the same area and I sometimes forget to water them, but lots of my plants I water on a need basis instead of a set schedule. It is easy to use, with just 3 buttons. Setup is not too hard, but sometimes these types of fittings and connectors do drip a little here and there. If you already have a "smart home" sort of setup, it's a no brainer. I do not need Rachio like smart irrigation for my potted plants.
