Usage and Soil Moisture Levels

The sensor reports soil moisture in percentages, reflecting actual conditions:

• 20% Reported: Actual soil moisture 0-50%, sensor reading ≤5%
• 40% Reported: Actual soil moisture 0-50%, sensor reading ≤5%
• 60% Reported: Actual soil moisture 51-100%, sensor reading ≤10%
• 80% Reported: Actual soil moisture 51-100%, sensor reading ≤10%
• 100% Reported: Actual soil moisture 51-100%, sensor reading ≤10%
