Product Description
EasyBloom Plant Sensor helps you enjoy beautiful, flourishing plants--easily and without guesswork! It will recommend plants for specific locations, tell you why a plant is doing poorly and more. The EasyBloom Plant Sensor has environmental sensors to detect sunlight, shade and soil moisture levels, plus a USB plug to connect to your computer. EasyBloom can tell you what plants will thrive in a specific spot in your home or yard, what is wrong with an ailing plant and how to help it, and even whether a plant needs more water or not. It gives you access to a database with information on more than 5,000 plants--you can even create a personal plant database online, to help you monitor and care for all your plants, houseplants and outdoor plants alike. Best of all, EasyBloom is very easy to use. First, plug EasyBloom into a USB port on your computer and select Recommend' (to get plant recommendations for specific locations) or Monitor' (to help evaluate a weak plant). Second, place EasyBloom in the spot where you would like to grow a plant, or next to the plant that needs monitoring and leave it for 24 hours. Finally, plug EasyBloom back into a USB port--sensor data will upload to the EasyBloom website, which will use that data to either recommend plants or diagnose a plant's problem. Compatible with Windows Vista/XP and Mac OS 10.5+. Uses 1 AAA battery (included). 11 1/2" tall, 1 1/2" wideWhat EasyBloom can do for you Recommend plants for specific locations in your home or garden, based on sunlight, shade and soil conditions.

Summary: Love it, but one tiny thing I would change. 2010-03-10
Comment: I think this is a great product. Genius actually. There's just one tiny thing I would change. I was hoping it would give me exact temperature measurements. Instead it gives the average and shows a line graph that shows temps as (Moderate, Hot, Very Hot, Below Freezing, etc.) I was hoping to use this for plants that I protect in the winter time, placing it under the protection to record how effective the protection was. I guess I would know if it went below freezing, so that's good. It's still going to be useful and I think I will be using it a lot to record all the microclimates around the yard. Maybe they can update the temps feature with a software update? hint hint ; )

Summary: Useless 2010-02-24
Comment: It does nothing more than tells you if the plant is getting enough sun and water. It does not take a rocket scientist to know that!

Summary: Disappointed with EasyBloom sensor!! 2010-02-04
Comment: The sensor is not water proof so it is not suitable for unattended data collection outdoors. Also the sensor has to connect to the Internet to change set mode, download data, change mode which means I can not buy the additional sensors and collect data outside which makes it worthless to me. I am very disappointed there is no software I can use on my netbook or PDA. If the company goes out of business, the sensor is useless!!!!!!!!!!!!
The monitor mode gives you suggestions to improve the growth of whatever plant you've told it is growing there, prior to it's data collection. I used this feature at the end of winter, even though it was too cold to actually plant anything, just to see what it would say if it really thought I was. I told it I was planting peas, and it gave great feedback. It didn't just tell me the soil was too wet, it gave me tips on how to improve the moisture levels of my soil - by using it's water monitoring feature or what to use in my soil to encourage drainage. For temperature, it gave me suggestions of other locations I could plant where the sunlight would be warmer.
I haven't used the water monitoring feature yet.
