How to Wire and Code a Rain Sensor module to a Arduino
This is a Rain Sensor weather module and I'm going to show you how to wire up and code it to an Arduino.
This rain sensor sends a signal via the analogue or digital output when moisture or rain is detected. Compatible with Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, Teensy, Raspberry Pi, and other popular platforms.
This module comes in 3 parts:
- nickel plated sensor
- Connection wires
-The LM393 voltage comparator

Specification copied from the purchase page:
-rain sensor, can be used for all kinds of weather monitoring, and translated into output signals and AO.
-The sensor uses the high quality FR - 04 double material, large area of 5.5 * 4.0 CM, treatment of nickel plating and surface to fight oxidation
-The comparator output, signal clean, good waveform, driving ability is strong, for more than 15 mA
-With potentiometer sensitivity adjustment
-The working voltage of 3.3 V to 5 V
-The output format: digital switch output (0 and 1) and analog AO voltage output
-Has a fixed bolt hole, convenient installation
Small board PCB size: Approx. 3.2 cm x 1.5 cm
