This is because the measurement methods are different. The Soil Temperature and Humidity Sensor only detects soil surface temperatures for reference purposes only.

If your soil sensor is located far from the hub, it may go offline. Consider adding some Zigbee repeater to enhance the Zigbee range, like Zigbee smart plugs, Zigbee smart bulbs, etc. Why is the soil moisture and temperature sensor occasionally offline?

The Gen1 are terrible when it comes to connectivity, they don't stay connected unless they are next to the hub. Gen2 are a MAJOR UPGRADE their connection range is significantly better and much more stable. I have 6 Gen2 and none of them have disconnected since I set them up. The 10 Gen1 sensors I have need daily resets on any that are not within 10 feet of the the hub. That being said, the numbers reported by the Gen1 seem more accurate. On a 90° day the Gen1's all reported something around 90° while the Gen2's all reported around 110°. They do have an offset but not that big. The soil moisture numbers all seem about accurate. Since I'm using them to trigger my watering system I just use a threshold number that it needs to be below. They serve my purposes but know they are not perfect, but for the price they are good enough. Review: Works great - Seems to be working great but have never used a sensor like this and dont have anything to compare it to. It did lose its connection once to the network, but I reconnected it and it’s been fine since I have this set with a sprinkler to turn on automatically when it reaches a low moisture level and it’s working great. ## Features - Zigbee Hub Required: Compatible with standard Zigbee 3.0, such as Echo (4th Gen), Echo Plus (1st Gen and 2nd Gen), Echo Studio, Eero 6, Eero Pro 6, Home Assistant (ZHA & Z2M), Hubitat and SmartThings Aeotec, Homey, Homey Bridge, Homey Pro.

The Gen1 are terrible when it comes to connectivity, they don't stay connected unless they are next to the hub. Gen2 are a MAJOR UPGRADE their connection range is significantly better and much more stable. I have 6 Gen2 and none of them have disconnected since I set them up.

It did lose its connection once to the network, but I reconnected it and it’s been fine since I have this set with a sprinkler to turn on automatically when it reaches a low moisture level and it’s working great. ### ⭐⭐ Until software is fixed consider the Gen1 version of this over the Gen2 *by D***T on April 26, 2026* So took forever to get it connected to home assistant via the HA zigbee module. It did finally get a software upgrade which may make it easier for people in the future, however, it keeps falling off the network. I have 5 Gen1 sensors they are all working flawlessly. One of the Gen 1 sensors is sitting within 2 inches of the Gen 2 sensor. The Gen1 works and the Gen 2 keeps disappearing from the network... Until they fix these issues I'd buy the Gen 1 version instead of the Gen 2. That said most of the Third Reality stuff I have works much better than Aqara (vibration sensor) and the generic bluetooth 2 prong moisture sensors I've used in the past. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/811899016-thirdreality-smart-soil-moisture-sensor-gen2-3pack-zigbee-hub-needed](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/811899016-thirdreality-smart-soil-moisture-sensor-gen2-3pack-zigbee-hub-needed) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
