Installation & Usage Tips
1. Insert the sensor probe vertically into the soil, leaving the top surface exposed for easy access.
2. Connect VCC to 3.3 V or 5 V, GND to ground, and AO to an analog input pin on your controller.
3. Calibrate by reading the dry and saturated values, then map the analog voltage to a moisture percentage in your code.
4. For water‑saving automation, set a moisture threshold and trigger a relay or pump when the reading falls below the desired level.
