Taking it further

You also need to have the following considerations:

  • At this point, you can further refine the system by implementing plant-watering profiles to add dry periods or to adjust for certain soil types. You can add new RGB LED modes to make full use of the color choices available.
  • The entire hardware could be built into an enclosure, to make it blend into the background, or maybe to make it more visible.
  • The web interface could be extended to allow for controlling the trigger point and such from the browser, instead of having to use an MQTT client.
  • In addition to the moisture sensor, you could also add a brightness sensor, a temperature sensor, and so on, to measure more aspects that affect the plant's health.
  • For bonus points, you could automate the applying of (liquid) fertilizer to the plant.
