The rain drop sensor module consists of a control sensor and a rain-sensing pad which can be connected to any microcontroller. The sensor produces an output voltage through which it determines whether it is raining or not. The more water on the surface of the rain pads the better is the conductivity and will result in a lower resistance. This resistance is inversely proportional to the amount of water. Usually, they are not connected but are bridged through the water.

The sensor has a series of exposed copper paths that acts as a variable resistor whose resistance varies according to the amount of water on its surface. The working of the rain sensor module is easy and straightforward. When rain drop present it reduces the resistance because water is a conductor of electricity and the presence of water connects nickel lines in parallel so reduced resistance and the reduced voltage drop across it. Resistance is high so we get high voltage according to V=IR.

Keywordsīeeson RC (2011) Weighing lysimeter systems for quantifying water use and studies of controlled water stress for crops grown in low bulk density substrates. A comparison between plant body motions on rainy and sunny days showed that daytime plant body motion was highly affected by the water usage of the plant. As a result, weight measurement could identify the water usage of the plant based on environmental conditions. A single tomato plant cultivated in a greenhouse was used for the evaluation of the developed monitoring system. Plant body movements due to water stress were observed from imagery motion analysis based on the optical flow method. To observe plant behaviour due to water stress, imagery motion analysis was performed from RGB-D images of the plant, which were captured by Intel RealSense camera (D435i) controlled by Jetson Nano microcomputer. A weight sensor using a load cell was used for the weight measurement.

Water usage of plants is generally estimated from the water balance consisting of water inflow and outflow, such as irrigation, drainage and evapotranspiration. The goal of this study was to develop a monitoring system suitable for plant cultivation management in a greenhouse using affordable sensors and devices. Monitoring plant growth status, water usage and the surrounding environmental conditions is important for improving plant cultivation techniques.
