Introduction
Keyestudio steam sensor is an analog sensor and can make a simple rainwater detector and liquid level switch. When humidity on the surface of the sensor goes up, the output voltage will increase.
Warning: The connector is not waterproof, please be careful not to put the connector directly in water.
The module can be connected to the analog input interface with only one line, which is very easy and convenient.
Special Note:
The sensor/module is equiped with the RJ11 6P6C interface, compatible with our keyestudio EASY plug Control Board with RJ11 6P6C interface.
If you have the control board of other brands, it is also equiped with the RJ11 6P6C interface but have different internal line sequence, can not be used compatibly with our sensor/module.

Connect It Up
Connect the EASY Plug steam sensor to control board using an RJ11 cable. Then connect the control board to your PC with a USB cable.
Upload the Code
Below is an example code. Open or drag below code to Mixly Blocks and upload.
What You Should See
When detect the different degree of humidity, the sensor outputs different value. If the sensor’s sensing area detects a water drop, the analog value will be displayed on monitor window.
Extension Experiment
Adding LCD Display
Hookup Guide
Connect the EASY Plug steam sensor and LCD module to control board using RJ11 cables.
Test Code
Below is an example code. Open or drag below code to Mixly Blocks and upload.
What You Should See
Upload the code successfully, if the sensor detects a drop of water, the data will be showed on the LCD screen.
Little Knowledge:
- Remember you can adjust the contrast by rotating a blue potentiometer on the LCD back if you can’t make out the words clearly.
