I am tidying and fixing up flaws in my model that informs plant maintenance.
Before I destroy 2-3 hours, does anyone here own a plant and would like an Arduino powered box that helps you keep your plant healthy?
Here is the old design (Top off) with flaws. I am currently going through my docs to see what went wrong.
Model name is GHG/GX-E38: GHG is project name (GreenHouseGas) GX-E38 is HEXA encoded model name.
Cheers!
What does keep you plant healthy imply? What does the box do exactly?
The box monitors temp/humidity and soil moisture and Beeps/Flashes to inform that the plant needs maintenance.
I like the concept, here’s a few questions!
- What’s the form factor of your project?
- Will it be waterproof or just a housing for the electronics?
- Is it wall powered or battery?
I’ve been looking at setting up soil monitors for my garden, although I’m wanting them to report to Home Assistant. I’d prefer a Zigbee or Z-Wave monitor, but it seems bluetooth or rolling your own seems to be the way to go right now.
I don’t exacly know what you mean, but the (generic) Form Factor of this device is:
- Unimonitor. (Designed to monitor one plant. [Needs Changing])
- Extensible. (CC-BY-SA CAD source, GPLv3 code)
- Durable. (5mm thick wall, IP33)
The device is rain-resistant, but nothing fancy.
It’s wall powered.
It doesn’t use LAN/PAM. Instead, a local config and IR controller is used to modify paramaters. However, you could code this in.
Sould there be anything to change for the device?
