Product description: UART intelligent rain sensor - DFRobot SEN0545
The intelligent rain sensor from DFRobot is able to detect changes in rainfall on the windshield in real time and provide feedback in the form of messages: no rain, light rain, moderate rain or heavy rain. The operation of the sensor is not affected by factors such as sunlight, dust, leaves, etc. Due to its small dimensions, the device is easy to install, even in the space-limited housings of other devices. Additionally, the sensor can measure parameters such as: internal temperature and ambient temperature .
Compact size of the sensor
The small size of the rain sensor module makes it easy to carry and use in all kinds of projects. The compact dimensions of the sensor allow it to be placed in projects with a strictly limited installation space.
Adjustable sensitivity and lifetime of the rain sensor
The sensor has the ability to adjust the sensitivity with which it will detect and interpret the intensity of rainfall. This function allows you to adjust the device to the climate and the region of the world to ensure the highest quality of measurements. In addition, the sensor has a low power consumption mode , which significantly extends the life of the product.
Sensor applications
The sensor, thanks to the ability to detect rain with different intensity of sunlight, as well as external and ambient temperature, is great for monitoring , smart home and agriculture, where it can be responsible for maintaining the right conditions for plant growth.
