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.

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).
The MQ7 is a simple-to-use Carbon Monoxide (CO) sensor suitable for sensing CO concentrations in the air. It can detect CO-gas concentrations anywhere from 20 to 2000ppm. MQ7 is a high sensitivity to carbon monoxide and stable and long-life span.
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.
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.
This environmental sensor module is based on BME280 powerful environmental sensor. It can sense temperature, barometric pressure, humidity .

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).

You can monitor 4 environmental parameters simultaneously. All the measurements can be read through either I2C or SPI connection. With the BME680 you can monitor the air quality, surrounding air status, industrial pollution and controlled farming environment. Applications is not limited to weather forecasting, HVAC, home automation, fire protection systems, hazards storage area monitoring and medical space environment watching.
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.
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.
Non-contact liquid level sensor can be used to provide external monitoring in liquid non-metallic material tubes, pipes and tanks such as plastic, glass, fiber-glass and ceramics. The thickness of the tube/pipe/tank/container should be less than 10mm. It is easy to use as a led is on when the liquid level reached and voltage is detected from sensor output.
The contactless liquid level sensor can be used in household appliances products, drinking and cleaning water and water treatment equipment, medical treatment and foodstuff mechanism equipment, chemical mechanism equipment and so on.

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.
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
