Hi All
Thank you for letting me join the forum.
I am new to all this automation; I normally just use a watering can!!
I am using a raspberry pi4 b, DHT22 Digital Temperature & Humidity Sensor and 8 Channel 5V Relay. I have loaded the software and installed the relays and DHT22. All working.
My problem is I cannot connect my sensor - Soil Hygrometer Sensor Module for Raspberry Pi (see photo). It says it is digital so I assumed it can connect straight on my raspberry pi 4. Can someone help me with this?
I am looking for simple, to start with and grow the system as I gain experience.
Thank you for your support
Hello,
In the post below there is a discussion about that sensor.
In summary, I suggest not to waste time with that sensor.
In general different sensor have different way to interface to the systems, If you have a digital sensor, it does not mean that it can be integrated or can be supported by a software.
There are sensors that can be integrated with the Hydrosys4 software and other not.
If you want a digital soil moisture sensor that can be connected directly to the raspberry PI and is compatible with the hydrosys4 SW, you can visit my shop on tindie. It will save you a lot of headache.
Regards,
Angelo
