Create a Smart Plant Pot That Alerts You When It Needs Help
Some of us find it difficult to keep plants alive, and while there are all sorts of techniques to keep plants alive , most are pretty tasteless. In the Instructables section, Akin Yildiz shares a way to make a smart plant pot that alerts you when it needs water, or it’s too cold or hot.
It doesn’t take much, just a small Wi-Fi microcontroller along with a battery and lots of cheap sensors. From there, you pretty much just stuff it into the pot, tweak some code, and you’re done. It’s a little tricky, but if you only have a couple of plants that you really don’t want to kill, it can save the day.
