This is an easy-to-use digital meter to measure soil moisture. The brownie point is that you just need to insert the digital meter in the soil. It will monitor and record the moisture of the soil as well as the water level content in it. You grasp a digital showcase of the result. The output of 5V indicates the moisture level to be high whereas, the 0V means the low moisture in the soil.

Furthermore, the Soil Moisture Sensor integrates a potentiometer that allows you to adjust the desired moisture threshold. It is quite beneficial in itself. The digital output manifests a higher number on an LED as when as the sensor records more moisture than the set threshold. Similarly, the output is to remain low when the moisture level is less than the set threshold. Moreover, it also permits users to attach a microcontroller to sense the moisture level.

The Soil Moisture Sensor or Humidity Sensor brings plenty of benefits when you implement it in water sensing and gardening projects. It tells you the right time your plants need the water by determining the moisture and water level in the soil. There’re two probes on the sensor that acts as variable resistors. Hence, it can help you in home automated watering systems. Both probes can be used to measure the volumetric content of water.
