The Compost Sensor is an open-source system designed to monitor and record temperature and moisture levels in active compost piles. Utilizing Arduino-compatible Moteino boards, thermistors, and wireless communication modules, it transmits data to a central gateway equipped with a GSM module for remote monitoring. This tool aids small-scale commercial composting operations in quality control and certification processes. Detailed build instructions and code are available on Instructables and GitHub.
