Gardening and growing your own plants is one of those things that sounds easier than it is. Mostly because there’s a fair amount of upkeep involved. It’s pretty easy to pick out a plant and place it in a pot or part of the garden, but keeping it alive is where things get tricky. That’s where Helloplant aims to help matters. It’s an inexpensive smart plant sensor that will keep an eye on things for you, giving you a heads up when you need to intervene.
Through its smart sensor, it’ll measure soil moisture, light intensity, as well as soil temperature. Once it has something to say, Helloplant will then send you a notification via your smartphone, informing you of any action you need to complete to keep your plant happy. No internet is required but an optional WiFi hub makes it possible to access your sensor from anywhere in the world. There’s also support for Amazon’s Alexa, and an open API for further smart home integration.
