Description
Product Overview
The Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor is a high-quality sensor designed to measure soil moisture levels without corroding, unlike traditional resistive sensors. This sensor provides accurate moisture readings by measuring the soil’s dielectric permittivity, which correlates to moisture content. With an analog output, it’s compatible with microcontroller platforms like Arduino, making it ideal for garden automation, plant monitoring, and agricultural projects.
