“Do you struggle to keep your plants alive? Looking to get started with an IoT project? Why not have your plants text you when they need watering? This simple project combines a capacitive soil sensor, the WiFi-enabled Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 board, Adafruit IO, and IFTTT to set up a system that will text you when your plant’s soil gets too dry. It makes a great intermediate-level Arduino project, or a good introduction to Internet of Things-style projects.”
