ANNOUNCEMENT 

Thank you all for the support I have received over the past year. 

I really appreciate the comments and feedback through this forum and I fully intend to update my content here frequently with useful content as soon as they become available. However due to the format of this platform, it is quite difficult to present small yet important updates, therefore I am creating an Instagram page where I will post my content more regularly and also demonstrate more of the "behind-the-scenes" work that goes into creating my projects. 

You can access my Instagram page here, elektroThing (@elektrothing) • Instagram photos and videos.  For those of you who do not want to use Instagram, I am also launching my website, elektrothing.com, which will serve as the landing page for all things elektroThing. :) 

PROJECT UPDATE

Plant-Bot has been invaluable in my household despite that, I plan to make some improvements to both the hardware and software before making it available to you.

1. Make Plant-Bot production ready to lower costs.
2. Write firmware to allow setup and control over BLE. 
3. Move the Temp and Hum sensor away from "warm" electronics. 
4. Selling it on Kickstarter or Tindie. The former allows for cheaper products due to the benefits of bulk orders vs Tindie where I will only be ordered in small batches. Would appreciate any feedback on this! 

Do reach out if there is something on this list that you would like to help with. I am more than happy to send over a board and in return get some work off my shoulders.

FUTURE PLANS

I have been thinking of making an "outdoor" version that will be solar-powered and turn on every 1 or 2 days to measure and turn on a pump /valve when required. Still working out the power budgets to see if this is feasible in the form factor I have in mind.
