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 built-in chip supports 3.3~5.5V working environment, Arduino, ESP32, micro:bit and controller. As to mini PC, you need an ADC module (analog signals are converted into signals).

The analog gas sensor – MQ3 is suitable for detecting alcohol, this sensor can be used in a Breathalyser. It has a high sensitivity to alcohol and small sensitivity to Benzine. The sensitivity can be adjusted by the potentiometer.
The soil nutrient content can be easily measured using NPK Soil Sensor. Measurement of soil content N (nitrogen), P (phosphorus), and K (potassium) is necessary to determine how much additional nutrient content is to be added to soil to increase crop fertility.
The soil fertility is detected using NPK sensors. A major component of soil fertilizer is nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The knowledge of the soil nutrient concentration can help us to learn about nutritional deficiency or abundance in soils used to endorse plant production.
This Soil NPK sensor is a low cost, quick responsive, high precision & portable Sensor that works with Modbus RS485. The advantage of this sensor over a traditional detection method is that it gives very fast measurement & data are highly accurate. All you need is to insert its probe in soil and get the reading using your MCU (Arduino, Tiva C, Raspberry, Personal computer).
This is an economical oxygen sensor to measure oxygen concentration (percentage) and gas Volumetric Flow Rate. The sensor measures the gas temperature also. The Oxygen sensor in home and medical oxygen generator, PSA oxygen generator, anesthesia monitors, medical ventilator, breathing equipment, oxygen analyzer, hospitals, laboratories, combustion and environmental applications.
The Oxygen sensor output oxygen concentration, flow rate and temperature digital data through serial UART. This make it it easy to receive data and handle it using arduio, microcontroller or pc interface.
The oxygen sensor uses the ultrasonic velocity difference between upstream and downstream to measure oxygen concentration. This cutting edge ultrasonic technology enables small size, stable, high accuracy, low cost sensor module, long life span (>5 years). In addition, there is no need foe routine calibration.
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.
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) measures how many milligrams of soluble solids dissolved in one liter of water. The measure is expressed in PPM (part per million). In general, the higher the TDS value, the more soluble solids dissolved in water, and the less clean the water is. Therefore, the TDS value can be used as one of the references for reflecting the cleanliness of water.
Thanks to this product, it becomes possible to create your own measurement, collection and data transmission system. It is even possible to use this information to automate water treatment cycles. The TDS probe is waterproof; it can be immersed in water for long time measurement. However, the signal transmitter board is not waterproof.
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 sensor uses the two probes to pass current through the soil, and then it reads that resistance to get the moisture level. More water makes the soil conduct electricity more easily (less resistance), while dry soil conducts electricity poorly (more resistance).
It will be helpful to remind you to water your indoor plants or to monitor the soil moisture in your garden. The IO Expansion Shield is the perfect shield to connect this senor to Arduino.
The new soil moisture sensor uses Immersion Gold which protects the nickel from oxidation.
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.
MQ-4 Sensor is highly sensitive to Methane – CH4.
Using a MQ sensor and detecting the gas is quite easy. You can either use the digital pin or the analog pin to accomplish this. Simply power the module with 5V and you should notice the power LED on the module to glow and when no gas is detected the output LED will remain turned off meaning the digital output pin will be 0V.
The measurement of dissolved carbon dioxide in water is one of the most important parameters in the field of aquaculture and in industry. So, this Carbon Dioxide (CO2) sensor probe allows the measurement of dissolved carbon dioxide directly in the water and soil. It can measure the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) concentration with high accuracy with large measuring range up to 5000 ppm. The CO2 probe has an analog both RS485 and TTL output for connection to your acquisition system.
You simply need to immerse the CO2 probe directly into the environment you want to monitor, whether it’s a fish farm pond, a lake, the open sea, in a bioreactor, or a manufacturing process. The sensor then provides a continuous measurement of the partial pressure of dissolved CO2 in water.
