***Note: The moisture sensor needs to be powered with 5V, and therefore you will need to power it with the same wall adapter that powers the board. This also means that if you're using a different power supply solution than we are suggesting, you should be careful not to exceed 5V or you may damage the sensor, your board, or both.***

>**Note:** We also provide a template which you can use to get started without the need to configure the entire IoT Cloud setup manually. Simply click [here](https://create.arduino.cc/iot/templates/plant-watering-kit) to check out the IoT Cloud Template. Don’t worry, after using the template you can still freely change your setup. If you want to go through the steps on your own just skip the template and continue with the following steps in this tutorial.
