Compatible? No not likelyI like the Ecowhitt probes Habo posted and would love to automate the watering using moisture probes. Just not sure how reliable and/or accurate they are in respects to using them to automate watering. If they misread and overwater or underwater they sort of kill the whole reason you used them in the first place. Coming home to a tent floor full of water is no bueno.
What I love about using these types of probes is that it would customize the feed frequency to the individual plants needs which is always a plus. I wish I could feel more confident about them. I'm sure someone is either launching or in development of one of these types of systems so I'm going to keep using my light pot method but when one does come out that is reliable and proven I'll definitely jump on it as I frequently have to leave for extended periods of time for work leaving my girls unattended. I have a crude auto irrigate system that works but would love something like this.
The pulse system looks promising. What have you heard about it? I wonder if it would be compatible with the ACI system?
BTW...is that $37 for EACH probe and display?
Comparable? I'm thinking yes without ever having used the Pulse Hub.
I have the AC69 controller. It just arrived on Saturday and it's still in the box with the new cloudline fan system I bought. I'll be swapping out an old tired/heavily used 5 x 5 this next weekend. I'll be putting up AC Infinity's 5 x 5 with the rest of the gear mentioned. I'm hoping that the AC69 system will do everything I need it to do. It's much cheaper than the Pulse option.
