ECOWITT GW1106 Soil Moisture Meter Kit — GW1100 Gateway + WH51 Sensor (915 MHz)

Meet the ECOWITT GW1106 Soil Moisture Meter Kit, a compact wireless system designed for gardeners, hobbyists, and professionals who want clearer insight into soil conditions. At the heart of the kit is the WH51 soil moisture sensor paired with the GW1100 Wi‑Fi gateway. When fully inserted into the soil, the sensor gathers precise moisture data and sends it to your devices, letting you monitor plant needs without constant guesswork.

Seamless data flow is a key highlight. After a simple Wi‑Fi setup, live readings appear in the WS View Plus app or the ECOWITT app, giving you a glance at soil conditions wherever you are. The GW1100 gateway can support up to eight WH51 sensors, with editable channel names for easy organization, especially in larger setups like multiple pots or garden beds.
