Garden Sensor

I got this device from the EDYN's website months ago before it was launch on home depot. It's beautiful, but completely useless. Starting with the app (I use iphone), the only features that actually work are the Temperature and Light measurements. Nutrition, Moisture, and Humidity measurements are very slow to update (it'll take 1 day to update). Then after 4 months, the Moisture feature is completely non-responsive. I'd water my raised garden bed for 2 days and it'll still say Moisture is below 5%, same happened on a rainy day. The plant dictionary is pretty much non-existing. Everything is either "Mid-season" or "Sprouting soon" even though I already configured it to be "Starter Plant" instead of from "Seeds". There is a brief description per plant, but all of that can easily be googled. No value added whatsoever.

This device seemed to be well thought out in terms of its simplicity to connect with my router. It worked well as a monitor for my vacation home lawn and landscaping. However, before the end of the first year of use, it began to exhibit battery problems, and stoped working shortly afterwards. When examined, the batteries had obviously failed, evidenced by their bulging which put pressure on the solar panel opening the seal to water which destroyed the device. Very poor mechanical design.

Horrible. The concept is nice, but the sensors are just random. Beware : SCAM.

Home Depot, I thought you were a better company than this. The company that supported this equipment has gone out of business and shut the server that allows you to operate the device. Why are you continuing to advertise this fancy paperweight.

can't sync to wifi, or ios

Nice way to spend 100 dollars on a yellow paper weight. App crashed since the beginning, not connecting to server to login, and I had zero answers from support.

Worked for one season ok then stored for winter. Next season ir never meaaured anything correcrly. Always read no nutrition and no moisture even when there was lots of both. Reading never changed for enitire next season.

Even though the product reviews were hit or miss I was still very hopeful that this product would work. However, either the unit I received was DOA or the Edyn Wi-Fi Garden Sensor is fundamentally flawed. Based on the other homedepot reviews and reviews from other sites I would say it's the latter. I wasted A LOT of time trying to get it to work, and but I simply wouldn't complete the synchronization process. I'm not one to give up easily, so I read through every single one of the posts on their support forums and on other sites, and I actually tried every single work around and troubleshooting step they mentioned. I finally gave up after hours and hours of frustration and wasted time, contacting their customer support and not hearing back after a week, and trying over 40 times in vain to get the product to work. The complete lack of support for this product speaks volumes about the product and the company. Although their site is still up I have serious doubts if the company is still in business. Details of my issue: I was able to get the Edyn Wi-Fi Garden Sensor to join the WIFI network and I could even see it in my router's DHCP clients, and see it transmitting date; however, the synchronization errored out every time on the step 3 of the process. Each time it would get to step 3 "Almost done. Preparing your account." and a few seconds later the app would show an error message of "BlinkUp took too long, please try again."

The item connected to my app and home wifi network, but doesn't send any information to the app. At the moment I'm stuck with product support and for some reason they're asking for my receipt for my purchase.

I've been looking for a soil sensor for some time to help me manage the plants in my yard. I bought the Edyn sensor and I am very impressed with it. It is sturdy, well-built, easy to set up, and provides invaluable information about the soil that will help you grow better plants, including moisture levels, light levels, nutrition levels, and humidity. I bought 7 of these and they provide very useful information for my yard's plants. Great job Edyn!
