Gravity: Analog Soil Moisture Sensor

A soil moisture sensor can read the amount of moisture present in the soil surrounding it. It’s an ideal for monitoring an urban garden, or your pet plant’s water level. This is a must have component for a IOT Garden / Agriculture. The new soil moisture sensor uses Immersion Gold which protects the nickel from oxidation. Electroless nickel immersion gold has several advantages over more conventional surface platings such as HASL, including excellent surface planarity, good oxidation resistance, and usability for untreated contact surfaces such as membrane switches and contact points.

This Soil Moisture Sensor uses the two probes to pass current through the soil, and then it reads that resistance to get the moisture level. More water makes the soil conduct electricity more easily, while dry soil conducts electricity poorly. This sensor will be helpful to remind you to water your indoor plants or to monitor the soil moisture in your garden.
