It outputs a simple digital high\/low signal when liquid is present, making it perfect for automated tank monitoring, overflow prevention, and IoT water management projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Signal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital (High when liquid detected, Low otherwise)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensing Distance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2–12mm through non-metallic walls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResponse Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt;500ms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-10°C to +70°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Build With This\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kit-water-tank-level-monitor-kit-v2\"\u003eAutomatic water tank level controller with pump shut-off\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kit-hydroponic-water-level-monitor\"\u003eNon-invasive aquarium water level monitor\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIoT overflow alarm system for overhead tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kit-automated-plant-watering\"\u003eAutomated plant watering system with soil moisture detection via container\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sensor works with any microcontroller that accepts 5V digital inputs, including Arduino Uno, Mega, Raspberry Pi (with level shifting), ESP32, and NodeMCU. It requires a 5V power supply and connects directly to a GPIO pin for reading the logic state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect VCC to 5V, GND to ground, and the OUT pin to a digital input. The sensor has an onboard voltage regulator and push-pull output; no external pull-up resistor is needed. For Raspberry Pi, use a voltage divider or logic level converter since GPIO is 3.3V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing.
