An Arduino sketch for monitoring your plants!
It will read air temperature, humidity, light level and soil moisture.
Built to work with these lovely doodads:
- SainSmart ST7735R 1.8" TFT LCD
- DHT11 Temperature/Humidity sensor
- wRobot 553518 Light Sensor
- Sunkee Soil Hygrometer
TODO (sorted by difficulty, ascending):
- Flash a message on the LCD when something needs adjustment (water me).
- Done.
Write status in 10, 30 or 60-minute intervals to micro-SD. - Done.
Open/close the moisture sensor circuit at intervals to slow oxidation (and measure less frequently). - Normalize the light and moisture values to a useful scale.
- Add a solenoid attached to a water bottle for self-watering.
