i would love to have an app, that reminds me of when to water or fertilize my plants, depending on the plant species, weather and light conditions.
maybe even automatically turning off and on the growlights.
just to maximize plant health.
- brunohaid 1y agoHa, working on exactly that at eg https://www.meso.cloud/plants/magnoliophyta/malvales/magnoliopsida/malvaceae/theobroma_cacao https://www.meso.cloud/plants/magnoliophyta/malvales/magnoli...
- weweersdfsd 1y agoIf you're into home automation, you could probably get pretty far with some light & moisture sensors (I recommend Xiaomi Flora bluetooth sensors for the latter purpose) and smart plugs connected to Home Assistant. I did something like that on a small scale, it worked fairly well.
- brunohaid 1y agoDefinitely doable, aquarium controllers are also quite flexible. We're working on a free Home Assistant plugin that let's you define your sensors and outputs, then choose a plant (see link below, or climate of a specific location) and hopefully take most of the heavy lifting from there.
