Great question. I build something similar without a moisture sensor, the key to obtaining proper data is to know (and control) the exact amount of water you elect to distribute.
The self-learning (ghetto A.I) software that I wrote would try to predict the next (optimal) watering event. You can start to tell how much weight the water adds and how fast the plant consumes it after a couple of iterations. Plus the soil will usually outweigh a plant by a considerable margin.

- korzun 9y agoThe environment was pretty controlled, and I haven't touched anything of that nature for a couple of years now. But, the solar cell thing sounds interesting. Cheap or? Got any links you can share with me? Thanks!
