This project implements a semi-automated plant watering system using Java and the Firmata protocol. It reads soil moisture data from a sensor and controls a water pump based on thresholds. The system ...

Use a capacitive soil moisture sensor (it’s corrosion-resistant). If using a resistive type, power the sensor only during readings (use a transistor or MOSFET controlled by Arduino).

If you’ve got a smart home, or you just want to know how soaked your garden is getting in the winter, you might want to measure rainfall. There are a bunch of ways to go about it, and this capacitive ...

This paper presents the design and experimental analysis of a novel, cost-effective, and robust soil moisture sensor based on a non-conventional Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technique integrated ...

Abstract: Data from the NASA Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) mission have shown promise for the retrieval of soil moisture, and many soil moisture products using CYGNSS data have ...
