Patent Images
1. A soil moisture detector with light activated audio alarm inhibiter for use in household plant care by means of generating audio sound when moisture level is too low comprising:
- a source of DC electric current means, a conductivity sensor means to be inserted permanently into the soil, a photoelectric light sensor means, an ON-OFF controllable audio generator means having one input connected the conductivity sensor and the other input connected to the photoelectric light sensor, wherein said ON-OFF controllable audio generator means includes means for generating audio frequency when both light sensor senses daylight (or any light whose intensity is equal to daylight) and conductivity sensor senses low conductivity of the soil.
