Plant monitoring hardware

Category: IoT / Electronics

Status: Previously built

Update interval: 1 minute

Goal: Monitor plant conditions and make measurements available through an online service.

[ 01 // THE IDEA ]

The goal was to monitor the environment around a plant by measuring temperature and humidity once every minute. The collected data was sent to an online service where it could be viewed remotely.

This made it possible to observe conditions over time and consider when the plant needed watering.
