Hello all ! I have this running, however, the Capacitive sensor drains the battery even with the ESP32 is in deep sleep mode. Is there a way to "wake-up" the sensor when the ESP32 wakes up? (e.g. put both to sleep)

Do yourself a favour and cover the pcb with hot glue or similar. Otherwise it will be destroyed by the humidity of the soil within 1-2 weeks.

I coverd it completely including the smd components and drove it completely into the earth to have more accurate results.

I was considering to cover the whole thing but I was worried that I might mess up the capacitance and the readings.

What does the moisture level correlate to? Is it volumetric water content?
@TasteTheCode
@TasteTheCode 19 днів тому
A capacitive soil moisture sensor measures the dielectric permittivity of the soil, which is indirectly related to the volumetric water content. They use an oscillating electrical field to measure the dielectric permittivity of the soil. The presence of water affects the capacitance of the sensor, because water molecules align with the electric field, this changes the capacitance value. This change in capacitance is then correlated with the soil's moisture content, outputted as a change in voltage.
