If you have questions to the developers - write, I will give them and get an answer, as it was with Solar Impulse . B>
The project can be described as the "Internet of plants." Pots that are connected to a single network, controlled from a smartphone or through the web interface. Just press the button to water the plant. Of course, you can look at your plants with the help of installed cameras, monitor the moisture level. As a rule, residents rarely engaged in growing plants at home - except basil in a pot on a window set. This project will allow them to know what they eat and how their food was treated - this is not possible, even in the most advanced eco-stores.
There is also the social component of the project. People will be able to share information on the subject of seeds, fertilizers and other substances, as well as their own skills in a single network.
Each of the "beds" are equipped with cameras, sensors, moisture, irrigation system and connected to the network via Wi-Fi.
A working prototype.
