SEN0227 SHT20 I2C Temperature & Humidity Sensor

Introduction

This is a SHT20 I2C temperature & humidity sensor with waterproof probe. It comes with the 4C CMOSens® SHT20 temperature & humidity sensor chip, and the probe has gone through dual waterproof protection. The SHT20 I2C temperature & humidity sensor adopt Sensirion new technique. Besides the capacitive type humidity sensor and the band gap temperature sensor, the chip contains an amplifier, A/D converter, OTP memory and a digital processing unit. To compare with early SHT1x series and SHT7x series, SHT20 shows better reliability and long-term stability. It can measure surrounding environment temperature and relative air humidity precisely. The Arduino SHT20 waterproof temperature & humidity sensor adopts dual waterproof protection. The inner PCB has perfusion and encapsulation protection, and the probe enclosure is made of PE waterproof materials. This is a special waterproof breathable material that allows water molecules to seep in, blocking water droplets from seeping in. The sensor won't be damaged even if it is submerged in water for a long time. There is a built-in 10k Pull-up resistor and 0.1uf filter capacitor, so It can be used directly with the microcontroller such as Arduino. Recommend DFRobot Gravity 4Pin Sensor Adapter, it is quite convenient.’

FAQ

Q1. How to measure the soil moisture?.
A. Soil moisture is defined as: Get 1 kg soil samples, thoroughly dry it, the ratio between reduced weight (water weight) and 1 kg weight is soil moisture. It totally different to the air humidity.
