Soil Moisture Sensor Module
Product Details
The Soil Moisture Sensor Module is a simple and effective sensor used to detect the moisture content in soil. It helps determine whether the soil is dry, moist, or wet, making it useful for smart irrigation systems, plant monitoring, and agricultural automation projects.
The sensor works using two probes that measure the electrical conductivity of the soil. When the soil contains more water, its conductivity increases, allowing the sensor to detect higher moisture levels. The module converts this information into analog and digital output signals, which can be easily read by microcontrollers such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, and ESP32.
Most soil moisture sensor modules include an adjustable potentiometer, allowing users to set the moisture detection threshold based on their project requirements. Its simple design and easy interfacing make it popular for IoT-based smart farming and plant care systems.
