Sensors

Fluid Input

  • This ultrasonic sensor is located at the bottom of the PUMP-1 water bottle and monitors the presence of fluid. The state remains "Wet" while water is present in the bottle, and changes to "Dry" once the bottle is completely empty. It reports a state of either "Wet" or "Dry".

Fluid Output

  • This ultrasonic sensor can be mounted on the exterior of any container where you need to detect the presence of water on the other side, such as a Keurig reservoir or fish tank. It can be attached using adhesive tape or other mounting methods. The sensor reports "Wet" when the water level is above the sensor and "Dry" when the level falls below it. It reports a state of either "Wet" or "Dry".

Stop Pump When Input Dry

  • This will turn the pump off when the ultrasonic sensor at the bottom of the water bottle detects no water.

Stop Pump When Output Wet
