Moisture Sensor

The Urban.io Flood Sensor alerts you to the potential damage that can result from flooding or leaks. Place this sensor anywhere flooding or faulty plumbing could cause a problem. This sensor can also be used to detect a lack of water, and also relative levels of moisture at the location of the probe endpoint.

Used in conjunction with an Urban.io IoT Gateway the Flood Sensor will read and transmit the relative % of conductivity, indicating how much moisture is apparent, to the Urban.io Cloud Platform on a near real-time basis.

Measured data is securely displayed within the Urban.io Cloud Platform for reporting purposes. Through the use of dynamic profiles, thresholds can be set for each sensor which can trigger alarms that can be sent via email or SMS.

All recorded sensor data, historical summaries, and alarms are made available for use within external software platforms via the IoT Data API.

The Urban.io Moisture Sensor detects when moisture is present by measuring conductivity between the two prongs at the end of it’s probe.

When moisture is present the sensor will immediately turn on and transmit the data to the gateway. The sensor can also detect and report the relative level of moisture over time.
