Creating an IoT garden monitor started as a weekend experiment and quickly became an essential tool for my indoor plants.
- Mapping every sensor reading to a clear action helped reduce noise and made the dashboard more useful.
- Choosing low-power components gave the device incredible battery life.
- Shipping updates over-the-air kept experiments fast and easy.
In the next iteration I want to expand the analytics, add predictive watering, and publish detailed build logs so others can follow along.
