About:

This project will combine nature and technology to improve the efficiency in which we use our resources and the way in which we take care of plants. The soil of the plant will have sensors that will detect humidity levels. When the soil of the plant is moist enough, the irrigation system will not water the plant. When the sensor detects that the soil is dry, the system will be triggered and the irrigation will start in order to have healthy plants. There will also be light sensors connected to the plant pot. Depending on how much light there is as well as the location of the brightest spot in the room, the pot will move to allow the plant to get more light.
