The Plant Bot is an open-source, Internet-enabled plant monitor powered by the ESP32-C3 microcontroller and integrating a corrosion-resistant capacitive
I imagine you configure the parameters that trigger it to water, and how much. Is there more you pay attention to than soil moisture and how much water you add when taking care of it? (Like how it looks, or whether it’s flowering/fruiting if it does those things)
I know little about plant care (I killed my snake plant, Fettucine 🥲), I’m genuinely curious :)
I think the big problem is that the amount of watering drastically changes throughout the year. In the winter, it only should be watered like once a month, and in the summer like once a week, with gradual steps in-between.
I’m sure there is a way to program it, but I feel like I’d get the curves wrong or some shit.
I’ve somehow been able to keep a baby dragonfruit cactus alive for a little while now. I feel like I’d kill it using this.

Ahhh, that makes sense, I hadn’t considered that
