Approximately the size of a tennis ball, the RG-15 uses internal \u003cstrong\u003einfrared light beams\u003c\/strong\u003e to detect moisture on its curved lens surface. Because the round lens naturally discourages the collection of leaves, bird droppings, and dust, the sensor remains accurate without frequent cleaning. This solid-state design makes it the ultimate choice for remote weather stations and professional agricultural monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection style=\"margin-bottom: 35px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #7765e3;
