Lightning Talk: Greendig - Monitor Your Plants with Prometheus
summary
Builds a home plant monitor using Prometheus, a Raspberry Pi (tested on Raspberry Pi 4), Bluetooth soil sensors and a community flower exporter (Go); the exporter scrapes sensor MAC addresses and maps them to plant names, Prometheus pulls light, temperature, moisture, fertility (conductivity) and battery metrics, and alerts use thresholds such as moisture <15 = water now and >16 = overwatered. Uses microSD for OS, labels metrics with Sysdig-compatible metadata, wires dashboards and alerts (Grafana-style) and reports the plants are growing healthy with no guessing.
