Quick Answer
The AC Infinity Soil Sensor Probe is an IP67-rated soil monitoring accessory for compatible AC Infinity AI controllers. It measures moisture and saturation, refreshes readings every second, and can support controller alerts and compatible watering-device automations through the AC Infinity app.
Product Description
Monitor potting soil and potting mixes with the AC Infinity Soil Sensor Probe for Controller AI+.
The fiberglass sensing probe is designed for fabric pots, garden beds and indoor grow spaces. Its open sensing blade includes depth markings for repeatable placement, while the detachable stem allows the sensor to be positioned deeper when required. The sealed IP67 construction helps protect the sensor from moisture and dirt during normal use.
When connected to a compatible AC Infinity AI controller, the sensor supplies soil-moisture data for monitoring, alerts and supported watering-device controls. A compatible controller is required and sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the AC Infinity Soil Sensor measure?
It detects soil moisture and saturation and sends the readings to a compatible AC Infinity AI controller.
Does the sensor work by itself?
No. A compatible AC Infinity AI controller is required for data display, alerts and supported automation features.
Can it automatically water plants?
The sensor does not pump water. When paired with a compatible controller and supported watering equipment, its readings may be used in controller automations.
Is the sensor waterproof?
It carries an IP67 rating. This rating supports protection against dust and temporary water exposure under defined test conditions, but it should still be installed and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Can the probe be pushed directly into soil?
No. The official guide instructs users to dig a hole first and place the sensor gently. Do not force or bend the probe.
What is the detachable stem used for?
The stem supports deeper placement and includes depth markings. The cord is fed through the stem before the stem is twisted onto the sensor.
How many soil sensors can connect to one controller?
One soil sensor can be connected directly to a controller at a time. Compatible sensor splitters are required for additional sensors.
