Reply To: What rain sensor can be wired to EZflora breakout connector

Hello there,

The breakout sensor is not required for any connections…it just makes it easier to make the connection, as you get a RJ-45 connector at the bottom of your EZFlora, so you’d have to splice open a Cat5 cable and know which wires are going where to make the correct connection.

A water meter is not required to use the rain sensor either. The breakout connection manual is simply letting you know how to connect a compatible meter, not saying that you have to connect a water meter to use the rain sensor.

Any rain sensor that is a normally closed dry contact and opens when rain is sensed would work with the specified resistor.

I hope that helps!
