Project 1 – Smart Plant Monitoring System Using ESP32, Messaging Services, and the Twitter API
In this chapter, we will use all the knowledge we gained in the previous chapters and complete an innovative project where we’ll integrate various sensors with a plant to create a smart and interconnected ecosystem.
Our project revolves around the concept of enhancing plant care and communication. We will dive into the details of interfacing sensors with an ESP32 microcontroller, enabling the plant to gather and process data about its environment. The data will be sent to the owner of the plant, which will set the foundation for informed decision-making.
What sets this project apart is its extensive use of messaging services and APIs to establish communication channels between the plant and the digital world. We will explore how the plant can send real-time updates via Gmail, WhatsApp, and Telegram, ensuring that you are always in the know of your plant’s wellbeing...
