HOW DOES SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR WORK?

The voltage at the sensor outputs changes accordingly to the water content in the soil.

When the soil is:

  • Wet: the output voltage decreases
  •          Dry: the output voltage increases


The output can be a digital signal (D0) LOW or HIGH, depending on the water content. If the soil humidity exceeds a certain predefined threshold value, the modules outputs LOW, otherwise it outputs HIGH. The threshold value for the digital signal can be adjusted using the potentiometer.
