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.

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 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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
This is an high flow 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 Arduino, microcontroller or pc interface.
The oxygen sensor uses the ultrasonic velocity difference between upstream and downstream to measure oxygen concentration.

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 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.
