Overview
Rain Drop and Humidity Sensor for Microcontroller, Analog and Digital Output, Voltage 3.3-5V, Area 5.5 x 4 cm, Blue-Gold

A reliable sensor for detecting rain and humidity operates on the principle of conductivity change between parallel metal paths on the detection board. When water droplets hit the surface, the resistance between the paths decreases, and the evaluation circuit with the LM393 comparator registers this and activates the output. The module offers both a digital output for simple switching (0 or 1) and an analog output that can be read directly from the microcontroller to assess the intensity of rain or humidity. The potentiometer on the board allows for fine adjustment of sensitivity to respond precisely to your needs.

  • Detection board 5.5 x 4 cm with nickel-plated surface for oxidation resistance
  • Digital output (DO - 0/1) and analog output (AO) for microcontroller
  • Adjustable sensitivity using a potentiometer directly on the evaluation board
  • Operating voltage 3.3 V to 5 V, compatible with common development boards
  • LM393 comparator with a wide voltage range and drive capability over 15 mA
  • Detection board made of FR-04 material with moisture resistance
  • Mounting holes for screws directly on the detection board
  • Clean output signal without interference
  • Connecting wires for easy connection to a breadboard
  • Blue-gold design of the evaluation board, silver detection area
  • Package contents: 1x rain drop sensor

The sensor is a popular component in custom automation projects - it can trigger the retraction of an awning at the first drops of rain, close a roof window, turn off garden watering, send a notification to a mobile phone, or activate a flood alarm in a technical room. The digital output connects directly to the input pin of the microcontroller and can be read as a logical 0 or 1, while the analog output connects to the AD converter input and the value between 0 and the maximum voltage indicates the current intensity of humidity. When powered with 5V and no water on the board, the digital output is at logical 1; as soon as the droplets hit, it switches to 0 - the logic is therefore inverted, which is standard for this type of module. The detection board can be positioned at an angle or vertically outside on a window, sill, or roof to allow water to drain away after impact, enabling the sensor to dry out after rain and return to its idle state.
