Rain Alarm - This circuit consumes no current until moisture is
detected on the rain plate.
Rain Alarm - This circuit gives out an alarm when its sensor is
wetted by water. A 555 astable multivibrator is used here which gives a tone
of about 1kHz upon detecting water. The sensor when wetted by water
completes the circuit and makes the 555 oscillate at about 1kHz. [Radioland.nt.au]
Rain Detector (Aaron Cake) - This circuit uses a sensor made of a
small piece of etched PC board and a simple SCR circuit to detect rain and
sound a buzzer. The SCR could also be used to activate a relay, turn on a
lamp, or send a signal to a security system. (circuit / design added
