General Questions
What is OKO?
OKO is a smart plant-care system made up of Probes and a Pebble, paired with the OKO app. Together, they monitor water levels, temperature, and air humidity in real time—so caring for your plants feels effortless.
Who is OKO for?
OKO is perfect for anyone who wants to keep their plants healthy, from beginners to experienced plant enthusiasts.
Can OKO be used outdoors?
Yes! OKO is water-resistant and can be used for outdoor plants, such as those on balconies or patios, as long as they’re within WiFi range.
How does the OKO system work?
OKO Probes sit directly in the soil and monitor your plant’s health at the root level.
The OKO Pebble acts as the system’s hub. It connects your Probes to Wi-Fi and sends all data to the OKO app in real time.
Together, the OKO system gives you a complete picture of both your plants and their environment.
Can I monitor multiple plants with OKO?
Yes. Each plant you want to monitor needs its own OKO Probe, and multiple Probes can connect to a single OKO Pebble through the same app.
The OKO Starter Kit includes one Pebble and one Probe to get you started. You can then add Add-on Probes at any time to monitor more plants—no extra Pebble required.
We recommend one Pebble per room for optimal coverage.
Can I use multiple OKO devices with the same app?
Absolutely! The app allows you to monitor multiple sensors and plants simultaneously.
