falsanu/soggy-client

Controller to water plants. Written in Javascript with Johnny Five for Arduino.

Planty :: The Soggy🌱 - Client

• reads hygrometer
• starts water pump
• sends mails
• sends data to API
• optimize hygrometer corrosion by only adding power when measuring
• add ultrasonic water level measurement

Configuration

Environment Variables
