This Grove - Soil Moisture Sensor can be used to decide if the plants in a garden need watering. You can also use soil moisture sensors in gardens to automate watering plants. It can be used very easily by just inserting the sensor into the soil and reading the output using ADC.
Highlighted Features
- Cost-effective: Great for students, makers, and IoT developers as DIY and prototype design.
- Plug-and-play: Grove-compatible interface(data transmission) and two large pads function as probes(data collecting).
- Starter-friendly: Detail start-up tutorials, abundant resources, and projects provided in Wiki and Community.
- Effective measurement: Based on soil resistivity measurement, high moisture resulting lower resistance and vice versa.
Applications
- Botanical Gardening
- Moisture Sensoring
- Consistency Measurement
