Soil Moisture 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 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.

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 environmental sensor module is based on BME280 powerful environmental sensor. It can sense temperature, barometric pressure, humidity .
You can monitor 2 environmental parameters simultaneously. All the measurements can be read through either I2C or SPI connection.
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.
This is an industrial grade soil and water PH and temperature sensor. The new generation Ph sensor can measure pH and temperature level in both soil and water as well. Soil and water pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the soil or water. Soils (or water) can be classified according to their pH value where 6.5 to 7.5 is neutral soil (Ideal soil for growing plants), over 7.5is alkaline and less than 6.5 is acidic. 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.

MQ-9 gas sensor has high sensitity to Carbon Monoxide, Methane and LPG. The sensor could be used to detect different gases contains CO and combustible gases, it is with low cost and suitable for different application.
The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted by using the potentiometer.
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.
Water flow sensor consists of a plastic valve body, a water rotor, and a hall-effect sensor. When water flows through the rotor, rotor rolls. Its speed changes with different rate of flow. The hall-effect sensor outputs the corresponding pulse Signal. Can be used with ardduino
