Building Smart Irrigation

const { Gpio } = require('onoff');

class SensorManager {
  constructor() {
    this.soilSensor = new Gpio(17, 'in');
    this.relay = new Gpio(27, 'out');
  }
  
  async readSoilMoisture() {
    const value = this.soilSensor.readSync();
    return (value / 1023) * 100;
  }
}
