Strange reading after calibration

Help & Support
1

Hi, after I did the deep water calibration I expected the moisture should be near 100%, but it actually dropped from what it was before watering and calibration. This does not seem correct.

Hi Mark,

Can you share the serial number of the device in question? This will help me figure out whether I can help you with this vs. escalating to the engineering team.

Hi Mark,

Here is @homedigy-lawrence’s response.

Device 337J9T: Your device seems to be working as intended. Your soil was quite loose before your first deep water calibration, and looks like the soil is getting more compact over time.

  • The surface level is quite loose though, and AI may potentially complain down-the-road that the surface soil may be too loose for it to accurate track moisture.
  • But if your primary use is to monitor mid-depth or deep soil moisture, then the installation looks good. Please give it another few days for gravity to help compact the soil further.
