Boson: Steam Sensor

This BOSON steam sensor is a high-sensitivity analog module designed to detect the presence of liquid water on its sensing surface. Featuring a distinctive petal-shaped pad, this steam module measures the density of water droplets and converts the physical contact into a proportional analog voltage. Unlike traditional humidity sensors that measure water vapor in the air, this steam sensor is specifically engineered to respond to direct contact with raindrops, steam, and fog.

Advanced Droplet Detection Mechanism

This analog steam module utilizes a conductive sensing pad to monitor moisture levels. When water droplets accumulate on the petal-shaped surface, the resistance changes, leading to an increase in output voltage. This mechanism allows for the precise detection of liquid condensation and precipitation, making this water sensor an essential tool for projects requiring immediate feedback on environmental liquid presence.

Seamless Ecosystem Integration

This gravity-compatible sensor integrates effortlessly with popular microcontrollers, including Arduino and micro:bit. By providing a clear analog signal, this steam sensor simplifies the development of smart weather stations, automated irrigation triggers, and steam-level switches. Its standardized PH2.0-3P interface ensures stable connections and plug-and-play functionality within the BOSON educational ecosystem.

By translating liquid contact into actionable data, this sensor module enables intuitive environmental monitoring. From DIY rain gauges and greenhouse automation to industrial steam safety triggers, this steam sensor provides a reliable and easy-to-use solution for detecting moisture in its liquid form. Note: While the sensing pad is designed for water contact, the 3P cable interface is not waterproof and should not be immersed.
