The Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor (Corrosion Resistant) is a soil moisture sensor based on capacitance changes. Compared with resistive sensors, capacitive sensors do not require direct exposure of the metal electrodes, which can significantly reduce the erosion of the electrodes, it is considered Corrosion Resistant.
It is important to note that this sensor can only qualitatively test the humidity of the soil and cannot measure quantitatively. When the humidity of the soil rises, the value of the output decreases; conversely, when the humidity decreases, the output value becomes higher.

My item was received with the Seeed Studio factory seal broken and scratches visible on the device. Think assured me they open every product for QC checks yet somehow they missed these scratches. Without the factory seal there's no way to tell if this is a new device and there's no way to get support from Seeed since they're terms for returns require devices to be factory sealed. I've contacted Seeed Studios so hopefully Think will no longer be able to sell Seeed products.
