I also wanted to utilize my newly acquired 3D-printer, so some of the parts will have to be printed.īy default IoT APIS v2 will create a local WiFi access point called "Plant_XXXXXX", where XXXXXX is the serial number of the ESP8266 chip on board of NodeMCU. The resulting project is not less configurable then its predecessor, and has additional useful features. I wanted the new system to be autonomous in terms of power and/or availability of the internet. You will be the judge if I was able to accomplish that goal.

A gray project box was a good start, but I wanted to create something that looked a bit better. I wanted to be able to tell how much water is still available in the bucket and stop watering when the bucket is empty. So the new design was supposed to last as long as possible and be quickly and easily replaced. I have been through three different designs of the humidity probe, and no matter which material I used, it eroded sooner or later. This is how this project became IoT-enabled. Ability to monitor the plant remotely.I have been using APIS for almost a year now, and wanted to improve upon the previous design: This project is an evolution of my previous instructable: APIS - Automated Plant Irrigation System
