Do you really need a separate sensor at each watering point?
Can one sensor not deal with several drips?

Yes, each probe can feed more than one dripper - not sure how many, how
far, off hand.

However for hanging baskets you probably need one per basket. You might
well have more than one dripper in one basket though to to give even
watering.
