Automatic Smart Plant Pot
Print, assemble and program your own intelligent Smart Plant Pot. With a hidden water reservoir, pump and sensors why not make your plant care easy. With an Arduino Nano at its core this project uses a water level sensor to let you know when to refill the concealed tank and a solid moisture sensor to figure out when to water your plant based on its needs.
==========
CORRECTION: 4:05 into the video I incorrectly say to use 20cm wires to connect the water level sensor. The correct length is 35cm.
