Perfect for my automated garden system
This sensor works flawlessly with my Arduino setup. The sensitivity adjustment is very precise, allowing me to ignore light mist but trigger on actual rain. Great value for the price.

Good module, needs calibration
The build quality is solid and the large detection area is a plus. You do need to spend a few minutes calibrating the potentiometer to get the threshold right for your specific environment.

Great for school projects
Used this for a university weather station project. It was easy to wire up and the documentation provided by the community helped a lot. Highly recommended for beginners.

Solid performance
Works as described. The only minor issue is that the pins are not pre-soldered, so you need to add your own headers. Otherwise, it's a robust little sensor.

Excellent sensitivity range
The ability to adjust sensitivity from very high to low is fantastic. I use one to close my skylight automatically when it starts raining. No false alarms so far.

Reliable and fast response
I've tested this against heavy downpours and it triggers instantly. The digital output makes it easy to interface with microcontrollers without extra components.
Q: Does this come with connecting wires?
A: The package includes the sensor module and a set of male pin headers that you can solder yourself. Connecting wires are not included in the standard package.
Q: Can this sensor measure the exact amount of rainfall in millimeters?
A: No, this is a digital switch module designed to detect the presence of rain or water. It outputs a high or low signal based on whether water bridges the traces, but it does not quantify the volume of rainfall.
Q: Is this module waterproof for long-term outdoor exposure?
A: While the sensing area is designed to get wet, the electronic components on the back (like the chip and pins) are not fully waterproof. We recommend placing the module in a protective housing with the sensing plate exposed.
Q: What microcontrollers is this compatible with?
A: This module operates at 3.3V to 5V, making it compatible with most popular microcontrollers including Arduino Uno, Nano, Mega, ESP32, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi (with proper logic level consideration).
Q: How do I adjust the sensitivity?
A: There is a blue potentiometer on the board. Turn it clockwise to increase sensitivity (trigger with less water) or counter-clockwise to decrease sensitivity. Test with small amounts of water while monitoring the output LED.
