Soil moisture sensor 5v (OT13121)

Ideal for measuring soil moisture in flower pots or in the garden, this capacitive soil moisture sensor, also known as a soil moisture sensor, is designed to operate reliably from a 5V power supply. Using for example an Arduino or another 5V compatible microcontroller, you can switch on the relays that activate the garden sprinklers when the moisture level is too low.
This capacitive soil moisture sensor distinguishes itself from most resistive sensors on the market in that it is not susceptible to corrosion (rust).
This version of the sensor is only suitable for a 5V Arduino or other 5V compatible microcontrollers.
There is also a version available that works on 3.3V: https://www.otronic.nl/nl/bodemvochtsensor-met-voltage-regulator.html
Specifications:

Chip: ME555
Operating voltage: 5 VDC
Interface: PH2.54-3P

The sensor is supplied with a 10 cm 3-core cable with PH2.54 female and dupont female connector.
NOTE! This sensor only works on 5v and can therefore not be used on an ESP. If you need a sensor that works on 3.3V you must use our Soil moisture sensor with voltage regulator
