Soil moisture sensor setting up

[emily]

Hi, I want the Farmbot to watering automatically when the value detected by the soil moisture sensor is below the specified value.
What can I do?

You can set up a sequence that mounts the soil moisture sensor, reads it out and have an if decision to mount the water tool and water if a certain (moisture) threshold is exceeded. You need to find that threshold on your own and I proved for myself that the readings from the sensor are not reliable enough to do this reliably…
