Soil Humidity / Moisture Sensor (New Type – Capacitive Sensor)
A soil moisture sensor can read the amount of moisture present in the soil surrounding it. It is ideal for monitoring garden, or your plant’s water level. This is a must have tool for a connected garden.
This new type capacitive soil humidity sensor differs from other resistive sensors, adopting capacitive sensing principle to detect soil humidity. Since the circuit is not exposed at the detected end, the corrosion problem of sensor is avoided, increasing the sensor operating life and measurments accuracy.

The MQ-135 gas sensor senses gases like ammonia nitrogen, oxygen, alcohols, aromatic compounds, sulfide, and smoke.
The boost converter of the chip MQ-3 gas sensor is PT1301. The operating voltage of this gas sensor is from 2.5V to 5.0V. The MQ-3 gas sensor has a lower conductivity to clean the air as a gas sensing material. In the atmosphere, we can find polluting gases, but the conductivity of the gas sensor increases as the concentration of polluting gas increases. MQ-135 gas sensor can be implemented to detect the smoke, benzene, steam, and other harmful gases. It has the potential to detect different harmful gases. The MQ-135 gas sensor is a low co st to purchase.
The VOC (volatile organic concentration) gas sensor is mainly used to detect and measure the concentration of VOC gases such as: Formaldehyde, Acetone. Acetic Acid, Benzene, Toluene, xylene, Butanal, Carbon Disulfide, Methylene Chloride.
The sensor module is based on MS1100 sensor which is semiconductor type sensor product widely used in ventilation equipment, ventilation fans, air filters, hoods, home appliances and other equipment. With high sensitivity and stability, it can detect more than 0.1ppm concentration of VOC gases in air.
Water detection sensor is used to detect water leak, water level or rains. This is obtained by having a series of parallel wires exposed traces. The sensor traces have a weak pull-up resistor of 1 MΩ. The resistor will pull the sensor trace value high until a drop of water shorts the sensor trace to the grounded trace.
The analog signal output can be read directly to arduino
The MQ-6 Gas sensor can detect or measure gases like LPG, methane and butane. The MQ-6 sensor module comes with a Digital Pin which makes this sensor to operate even without a microcontroller and that comes in handy when you are only trying to detect one particular gas. When it comes to measuring the gas in ppm the analog pin has to be used, the analog pin also TTL driven and works on 5V and hence can be used with most common microcontrollers.
So if you are looking for a sensor to detect or measure gasses like LPG, butane or methane with or without a microcontroller then this sensor might be the right choice for you.
Sensitive material of MQ-5 gas sensor is SnO2, which with lower conductivity in clean air. When the target combustible gas exist, The sensors conductivity is more higher along with the gas concentration rising. The sensor convert change of conductivity to correspond output signal of gas concentration.
MQ-5 gas sensor has high sensitity to Methane, Propane and Butane, ch4 and natural gas.

PH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It is commonly used to measure the quality of the water or for water monitoring. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14.
This 4 in 1 water quality sensor is a high quality industrial standard sensor that can measure EC (conductivity), TDS (total dissolved solids), Salinity and water temperature. This sensor enjoy high precision, long life and high stability in measurements. The sensor has RS 485 serial interface with 2-meter cable which can be extended to 1000 meter without affecting measured data quality, thanks to RS 485 long distance serial communication interface. It can be integrated with GPRS/4G/WIFI/LORA wireless module. Â
Conductivity (EC) is a measure of the ability of water to pass an electric current; it is affected by the presence of dissolved solids such as chloride, nitrate and phosphate. Conductivity can be a very useful indicator that a discharge of some sort has entered a stream, or some other change has occurred. TDS Sensor detects the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels in the water which can be used to indicate the water quality. The Salinity Sensor easily and precisely measures the total dissolved salt content in an aqueous solution.Â
This sensor has a high sensitivity and fast response time. It is suitable for sensing hydrogen concentrations in the air. The MQ-8 can detect hydrogen gas concentrations anywhere from 100-10000ppm.
The sensor can output an analog or digital signal. The sensitivity can be adjusted by the potentiometer.
They are used in gas leakage detecting equipments in home and industry applications.
The Chirp! Plant Watering Alarm is a new device from wemakethings that helps extend the life of your plant by reminding you to water it. This plant water alarm is essentialy a moisture sensor with built-in coin battery and sound alarm. Chirp is a plant watering alarm – as simple as that. You put it into the soil near a plant and it emits a tiny chirp (sharp sound) when the soil is dry, reminding you to water the plant. Alternatively, Chirp can work as an I2C soil moisture sensor.
