Story

The project was created as part of Iot Deep Dive Bootcamp at CNM Ingenuity. The system utilizes soil moisture as the indicator for watering the plant. As the system is connected via internet, the particle argon connects with both Zapier and adafruit.io to interface with the user.

The Neo Pixels will glow based on the room conditions:

A dashboard has been created in adafruit.io to display room conditions live of dust, air quality, temperature and humidity. There are buttons for a manual water mode as well as a neopixel control.
