Good day to all! In today's article, I would like to tell you about a rather interesting product with everyone on the famous Aliexpress website, this product is a small module for a microcontroller
Arduino. The module itself is designed to determine and evaluate soil moisture; for this, it has a kind of probe that needs to be inserted completely into the soil in which you want to determine moisture. The module, although it does not have a very wide scope, can be useful in some projects related to humidity. For example, based on it, you can make automatic watering
home plants (those that are in pots, because on the street the dryness of the soil can be different in some places), that is, you will need to assemble a small installation based on this sensor, program the arduino to a specific moisture indicator and when the percentage of moisture in the soil is at the right level, then the mechanism will work, for example with drip irrigation, using
electronic valves or servo I think it will not be very difficult to do. You can also make just an LED indicator that the plant needs watering.
The sensor can really be useful not only in projects, but also in the household, it costs very little, only 32 rubles and with free delivery, orders at the time of writing article-802, so the seller seems to be reliable, most of the reviews are positive, they also write that Delivery is pretty fast.
Well, thank you all for your attention and good luck in future projects, friends!
