In a hydroponic system, you can place it in the root zone or in a sample of the nutrient solution; dry conditions show high resistance, wet conditions low resistance, and the ESP8266 converts that into a readable percentage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I view the moisture readings from my phone?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. As long as your phone is connected to the same Wi‑Fi network as the ESP8266, you can open a browser and enter the device’s IP address.
