moisture sensors

Humidity measuring devices

Moisture sensors are devices that detect water content in soil, air, or materials.

In gardening and agriculture, soil moisture sensors help determine when plants need watering: The moisture sensor triggers the irrigation system automatically.

Similar sensors protect buildings by detecting leaks, or monitor humidity in industrial processes.

Also called humidity sensors when measuring atmospheric water vapor.
