This is why we gave our project the ability to become a web server and thus be able to access the state of the plant pot from any web browser.

- On the landing page, you can simply press the button every time you want to measure the humidity of the plant pot. If the soil is dry, we will see a representative image and a legend stating Soil is too dry, as illustrated in the following screenshot:
