How to build an intelligent “indoor garden”
summary
A reproducible prototype waters plants when soil moisture crosses calibrated thresholds and plays a voice alert when the reservoir runs low, built with CircuitPython on a Circuit Playground Express, a relay‑driven pump, both resistive and capacitive moisture sensors and a small speaker, logs data to a Raspberry Pi running a Flask web monitor and Telegram alerts, GitHub contains the code, the hardware loop proves reliable, Pi Portal Wi Fi integration proves flaky and remains a work in progress.
