Plant Monitor

I have a history of letting the plants die. Not because I want to, but because I forget to water them.

Components

• Arduino Uno
• Soil humidity sensor
• Buzzer

How to build

I actually didn't use the jumpers, just connected the components directly into the Arduino board, as you can (try to) see in the photo.

Roadmap

• Include a display
• Include a temperature sensor
• Include a PH sensor
• Internet connection to configure some parameters*

*Some plants have more water needs than others, so I could create an app to change the parameters accordingly to the plant

Long term roadmap

I don't think it's worth to let it running all day long, the land does not dry that fast. But I would like it to reach this point.

• Auto irrigation
  • Maybe integrated with an aquarium (another project)
• Internet connection
  • To receive a message when it' dry
  • To check on sensors
  • To activate the irrigation system
