Description
| Moisture sensor made up of two separate parts: a main board and a fork-shaped element to stick into the soil. It offers two different operating modes, detecting whether the soil is too dry or too wet. This is made possible by an on-board pushbutton switch which, depending on its position combined with a trimmer adjustment, activates one of the two operating modes. The board can be used, for example, to trigger an electric pump and start irrigation. Essential for monitoring soil moisture in farming and vegetable-growing, enabling efficient irrigation management and healthier plants. Useful for anyone with a garden or potted plants, ensuring targeted irrigation suited to the plants’ needs.
Soldering is required to assemble the kit version. The kit is supplied complete with assembly instructions. |
