Pimoroni PIM520 Grow Moisture Sensors (pack of 3) are designed for use with Grow HAT Mini or other devices. These capacitive moisture sensors work using Pulse-Frequency Modulation (PFM). The sensors are a lot less vulnerable to corrosion over time than old school resistive sensors, as there are no exposed electrodes. These sensors come with a handy indicator line to show how far they can be pushed into the soil. The grow moisture sensors can even have a little area so you can label them with plant names. These sensors can be used on their own with non-Raspberry Pi devices, as long as they are capable of monitoring pulses on an IO pin.
