Rain sensor on the windshield of a car. A rain sensor or rain switch is a switching device activated by rainfall. There are two main applications for rain sensors. The first is a water conservation device connected to an automatic irrigation system that causes the system to shut down in the event of rainfall.
To refine detection in the event of ambiguity, these devices use the dew point temperature (or, if missing, environmental temperature) and the icing detector output. Thus, if the detector identifies the falling speed for the dual snow/drizzle at an ambient dew point greater than 1 °C (34 °F) it will classify it as drizzle, and below −1 °C ...
Electronic components used to make a simple water detector: battery, resistor, transistor, water sensor and piezoelectric buzzer for audible alert A water detector is an electronic device that is designed to detect the presence of water for purposes such as to provide an alert in time to allow the prevention of water leakage.

Weather radar in Norman, Oklahoma with rainshaft Weather (WF44) radar dish University of Oklahoma OU-PRIME C-band, polarimetric, weather radar during construction. Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.).
A landslide detection system makes use of a wireless sensor network to detect the slight movements of soil and changes in various parameters that may occur before or during a landslide. Through the data gathered it may be possible to know the impending occurrence of landslides long before it actually happens.
Master Detective Archives: Rain Code has intrigue and standout moments, but falls short of the Danganronpa games. Read Digital Spy's review here.
The tuning of the system is usually done during commissioning of the detection devices. Microphonic systems are relatively inexpensive compared to other systems and easy to install, but older systems may have a high rate of false alarms caused by wind and other distances. Some newer systems use DSP to process the signal and reduce false alarms.
