moisture sensor
Measures ambient humidity
A moisture sensor is an electronic device that detects water content in soil, air, or other materials.
Gardeners and farmers use soil moisture sensors to determine when plants need watering: The moisture sensor triggers the irrigation system when the soil gets too dry.
Similar sensors detect leaks in basements or monitor humidity levels in buildings.
