Sensitive Adjustment Needed
Good sensor but you need to tweak the potentiometer to get the right sensitivity. Once calibrated, it is very stable.

Not for Metal Tanks
Failed on my steel tank. Just a heads up for others, this only works with non-metallic containers like plastic or glass.

Fast Shipping
Product arrived well packed and works with my Arduino setup out of the box. The LED indicators make debugging easy.

Great for DIY Projects
Works exactly as described. I used it for a rainwater harvesting system and it detects the level through the plastic tank wall perfectly.

No Corrosion
Love the non-contact feature. Since the electronics never touch the liquid, there is no risk of corrosion or electrolysis.
Q: Can this detect liquid inside a stainless steel tank?
A: No, this sensor works through non-metallic materials like plastic or glass. Metal interferes with the capacitive sensing.
Q: What microcontroller is this compatible with?
A: It works with any MCU that supports digital input, such as Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, or STM32.
Q: Can it detect oils or just water?
A: It can detect most liquids with a dielectric constant different from air, including oils, but sensitivity may vary.
Q: How do I adjust the detection range?
A: There is a small potentiometer on the board. Turn it clockwise to increase sensitivity and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
Q: Is the module itself waterproof?
A: The sensing area is coated, but the electronics are not fully submersible. Only the sensor pad should be near the liquid.
