Rain Water and Snow Detection Sensor Module for Arduino

The rain detection module uses exposed copper traces on a PCB to detect water droplets — rain or snow melt bridges the traces, increasing conductivity and lowering the LM393 comparator output from HIGH to LOW. Sensitivity is adjustable via an onboard potentiometer, and the analogue output provides the raw conductivity voltage for quantifying wetness level beyond a simple on/off trigger. The sensing pad is separate from the control board, connected by a header, so you can position the pad outdoors while keeping the electronics sheltered.

  • Detects rain and snow melt — conductive water bridges sensing traces
  • Digital output (DO) — active low when rain detected, LM393
  • Analogue output (AO) — proportional wetness level
  • Adjustable sensitivity — onboard potentiometer
  • Separate sensing pad and control board — remote outdoor mounting
  • 3.3V–5V supply

Lily ★★★★★

Got this set up for an automated garden cover project and the sensitivity adjustment works perfectly for distinguishing light mist from actual rain. The mounting holes made it easy to attach to a small weatherproof enclosure.

Claire ★★★★★

Wired this to my Arduino to trigger a servo closing a small vent whenever the copper traces get bridged by rain, and it's worked flawlessly for three weeks straight. The exposed pads are sensitive enough that even a few drizzle drops set it off. Cheap little board that just does its job.

J'ai installé ce capteur sur mon Arduino pour détecter la pluie sur ma terrasse. Les pistes de cuivre réagissent très rapidement à l'humidit
