How Long Should You Wait After Adjusting a Sensor?Updated 2 months ago

Soil moisture changes slowly, especially in larger containers and beds.

Making repeated adjustments too quickly can push the system far past the desired moisture level.


Waiting a full day or two helps ensure that each adjustment is based on stable soil conditions.


Step by Step Instructions:

1. Make a small adjustment to the sensor.

2. Leave the system unchanged for at least a day.

3. Measure soil moisture during this time.

4. Adjust again only if the system remains outside the target range.
