  1. Wire a soil moisture sensor

    Wire a soil moisture sensor

    An analogue soil moisture sensor takes three wires, shown here in the Truebner SMT50's colours. Brown, the sensor's supply, goes to VCC on the 1-Wire side. White goes to GND, and yellow, the moisture output, to ANALOG IN on the other side. The green wire is the SMT50's temperature output: leave it unconnected unless you want to read temperature instead. Only the three terminals in use are drawn; the Add-on has more on both sides.

    Terminal What it does here
    VCC Sensor power, 3.3 V: brown on the SMT50
    GND Ground: white on the SMT50
    ANALOG IN Moisture output, 0 to 10 V: yellow on the SMT50

    Not used for this sensor, so not drawn: the other VCC, DATA and GND terminals on the 1-Wire side, and DIGITAL IN, VREF OUT and VREF+R1 OUT on the analogue side.

    Supply: 3.3 V from the Shelly

  2. Wire a DS18B20 temperature probe

    Wire a DS18B20 temperature probe

    A DS18B20 probe has three wires, all on the Add-on's 1-Wire side. Red, the probe's supply, goes to VCC, yellow, the data line, to DATA, and black to GND. The 1-Wire side has three sets of VCC, DATA and GND, joined on the board, so any set works, and up to five probes can share them. Only the three terminals in use are drawn.

    VCC Probe power, 3.3 V: red
    DATA 1-Wire data: yellow
    GND Ground: black

    Not used for one probe, so not drawn: the other two sets of VCC, DATA and GND on the 1-Wire side, and everything on the analogue side.

    Supply: 3.3 V from the Shelly
