Does SeedStudio have a corrosion-proof soil moisture sensor? I used the Grove soil moisture sensor earlier, but it got corroded after one or two days.

Hi there,

Yea, they work but NOT corrosion resistant, in HIGH EC enviro’s the drift as it corrodes is significant. Proper wet & dry periods or cycles is key to the longevity of them.

i think the device you linked uses the capacitive effect, but the circuit should probably epoxy in! IMO
