{"product_id":"thirdreality-smart-watering-kit-pro","title":"THIRDREALITY Smart Watering Kit PRO - Automatic Watering Potted Plants","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ThirdReality Smart Watering Kit Pro is a \u003cstrong\u003eZigbee 3.0 irrigation solution\u003c\/strong\u003e that automatically waters your houseplants exactly when needed. The Pro version has one major upgrade over the standard kit: you choose how to power it. Connect the included USB-C cable for continuous power, or use 4 AA batteries (not included) for completely wireless operation. If both are present, the device automatically prioritizes USB-C and switches to battery power during an outage. Ideal for holidays or areas without a nearby power outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDual power: USB-C and battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the included USB-C cable, the system runs on continuous power without you having to worry about batteries. If you choose battery power, a red flashing LED (top left, twice) indicates that the batteries are running low. This ensures your plants never dry out due to a dead battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFully adjustable, precisely enough water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the three buttons on the device, you can set the \u003cstrong\u003ewatering duration from 10 seconds to 16.5 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e and the interval from 1 to 30 days. The adjustable water dripper regulates the flow rate per plant. The system delivers approximately 60 ml of water per 10 seconds at maximum flow, which is perfect for drip irrigation of potted plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy expansion for more plants\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard kit comes with 2 water drippers and 2 T-connectors, allowing you to connect two plants directly.
