THIRDREALITY Smart Watering Kit - Automatic Watering for Potted Plants

EOL: Replaced by the PRO version, which can run on both Battery and USB-C

The THIRDREALITY Smart Watering Kit is a battery-powered Zigbee 3.0 irrigation solution that automatically waters your plants when needed. This compact system operates completely wirelessly on 4x AA batteries (included) and requires no power outlet or water connection, allowing you to place it anywhere your plants need water. With an adjustable watering duration from 10 seconds to 16 minutes, you can perfectly tailor watering to the needs of your specific plants.

Fully automated plant care

The system integrates seamlessly into your smart home ecosystem and can be combined with the THIRDREALITY Smart Soil Moisture Sensor (sold separately) for fully automated irrigation. When the moisture sensor detects that the soil falls below the set humidity level, the watering kit automatically activates to hydrate your plants. This means your plants receive proper care even during holidays or extended absences without you having to ask someone to water them.

Intuitive operation and complete kit

On the device, you'll find three simple control buttons: one for setting the watering duration, one for the watering interval, and a start/stop button that also serves as a pairing button for your Zigbee network. The kit comes complete with everything you need to get started right away: 3 meters of hose, 2 drip emitters, 1 T-splitter for connecting multiple hoses, 2 stake holders for stable placement, 1 filter, and 4x AA batteries.

Easily expand for more plants

Do you have more than 2 plants that need automatic watering? With the THIRDREALITY Watering Kit Expansion Set, you can expand the system to up to 10 additional plants. This expansion set includes 10 meters of extra hose, 10 drip emitters, 10 T-splitters, 10 hose holders, and 3 extra filters – everything you need to automate your entire plant collection with one watering kit.

Water-efficient technology

The system features a water-saving mode that prevents unnecessary water loss. Thanks to advanced sensor technology and precise control, your plants receive exactly the amount of water they need, no more and no less. This not only saves water but also ensures healthier plants by preventing overwatering.

Compatibility with Home Assistant, Homey

Home Assistant: The THIRDREALITY Watering Kit has excellent support in Home Assistant via both ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT. To pair the device, simply insert the 4x AA batteries (included), and it will automatically enter pairing mode. If you want to reset the pairing, press and hold the start/stop button for approximately 5 seconds until a blue LED light starts flashing. The device acts as a Zigbee EndDevice in your mesh network and accurately synchronizes the status between Home Assistant and the physical device. This means your automations know exactly when and for how long the system has watered.

Homey: The watering kit works seamlessly with Homey via the official Third Reality app. You can easily pair the device via the Homey Pro hub and build automations with triggers from the THIRDREALITY Smart Soil Moisture Sensor.

Practical automation example

Smart vacation watering: Combine the THIRDREALITY Watering Kit with the THIRDREALITY Smart Soil Moisture Sensor in Home Assistant. Set up an automation that checks if the humidity level drops below 30%. When this happens between 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM, the watering kit activates for 2 minutes to hydrate the plant. The moisture sensor reports real-time data every 5 minutes, allowing the system to react quickly. You'll receive a notification on your phone when your plants have been watered, even if you're on the other side of the world.

Multi-plant system for large collections: With the included T-splitter, you can directly supply two plants from one watering kit. Do you have a larger plant collection? Order the THIRDREALITY Watering Kit Expansion Set to connect up to 10 additional plants. This allows you to automate your entire windowsill, conservatory, or office plants with one system. Combine this with multiple moisture sensors to monitor and automate soil moisture individually for each plant.
