### 1/5 — Fake International Version – No Remote Access

*2026-05-18, version 2.7.8*

Complete waste of money if you actually want "smart" features. While you can technically add these sensors to the Mi Home EU region, they are fundamentally broken. They will not connect to local EU-region BLE gateways (like Xiaomi cameras).

This means you have zero internet access to your plant data. The only way to see the stats is to stand right next to the plant with Bluetooth on. If you want remote monitoring, you are forced to switch the entire app to the China (CN) region, which then breaks all your other local devices.

The "International" branding is a lie. If you have an EU-based smart home and want to check your plants while away from home, avoid these. I am returning them immediately.

### 3/5 — Great information

*2026-04-29, version 2.7.8*

These devices provide a lot of information (light, water, fertilizer & temp) that’s helped me better care for my plants.  The history could be presented by showing days and allowing individual days to be selected.  Also the optimum ranges for each metric is way too small to see.  Showing it in color would improve visibility without changing font size.

### 1/5 — Umm

*2026-03-28, version 2.7.8*

Random things are in Chinese - App in general has a weird feeling.

### 5/5 — beast for world

*2025-09-14, version 2.7.8*

tanks for app taks mi

### 1/5 — No longer working

*2025-03-19, version 2.7.8*

After a couple years app and connectivity stopped working

### 2/5 — Light meter does not work

*2025-03-06, version 2.7.8*

It always says “night is coming on” so it can’t make a recommendation about how much light the plant is getting. I have one of them in a window that gets lots of sun. I’ve checked it throughout the day and it always says the same thing. It also worries me that it hasn’t been updated in 4 years.

### 1/5 — Owner

*2024-12-26, version 2.7.8*

I cannot get the sensors or the app to work. they really need to update their app software to the latest versions of Apple and android. These are extremely inconsistent sensors when they work but most of the time they don’t I don’t recommend buying this. Also, the advertisement at Alibaba express says they’re good for gardens, but the sensor says for use on indoor plants only.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2024-12-08, version 2.7.8*

Data is unreliable, soil moisture and light intensity hit the end of scale for some reason, but this and messes up the entire thing

### 2/5 — Inconsistent results

*2024-11-29, version 2.7.8*

I have had this app and sensor for about 2 weeks. One new sensor would not sync. 3 out of 4 sensor seems to have consistent reading but 1 other sensor is providing incorrect results. I validate the results with a regular moisture and light meter. I don’t recommend these sensors. Great idea but poorly executed.

### 2/5 — Needs Update for Android

*2024-11-07, version 2.7.8*

As of 7 November, 2024, the app will not install on my Android devices because it is incompatible / made for an older version of Android.

Installed pretty easily on iOS and appears to function as expected in that environment.
