Soil moisture sensor 5v

Ideal for measuring the moisture of soil in flower pots or in the garden, this capacitive soil moisture sensor, also known as a soil moisture sensor, is designed to work reliably on a 5V power supply. Using, for example, an Arduino or another 5V-compatible microcontroller, you can activate the relays that turn on the garden sprinklers when the moisture level is too low.

This capacitive soil moisture sensor distinguishes itself from most resistive sensors on the market because it is not sensitive 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 comes with a 10 cm 3-wire cable with PH2.54 female and dupont female connector included.

NOTE! This sensor only works on 5V and is therefore not usable on an ESP. If you need a sensor that works on 3.3V, you should use our Soil moisture sensor with voltage regulator
