PinoTech: Water Proof Soil moisture sensor for Arduino/Raspberry Pi - SoilWatch 10

SoilWatch 10 is a soil moisture sensor that allows you to measure relative water content in the soil. It’s far more superior to cheap resistive soil moisture sensors which you can buy anywhere. In our sensor design, there are no exposed electrodes that corrode within a few weeks. What’s more, the reads will almost not drift over time or with temperature changes. Our sensor will give the same readings regardless of the supply voltage. Sensor design makes it waterproof and weatherproof. It can be buried in soil for an extended period of time without adverse effects on accuracy.

Features:

• Accurate
• Easy to use
• 75Mhz capacitive sensor
