It is disheartening to watch your plants die. Especially, when you don’t know whether it’s lack of water, too much water, or insufficient light that killed the plant. No more guesswork, as UK-based Ben Beaver found a solution in the form of SmartyPlant, an innovative device for all plant lovers to keep their houseplants healthy and thriving.
SmartyPlants, as the name implies is integrated with smart sensors that monitor your plant’s health. It notifies you about the soil moisture, light levels, temperature, humidity, and soil nutrients. Just add this tiny device to the pot and let it nurse your plants back to health. The device comes with a rechargeable battery for long and smooth functioning.
You can keep a good eye on the real-time happenings via an app that displays all the details regarding the plants, right from tailored feedback to timely advice. There’s an option to analyze the plant images with the in-built AI, so you can relax and watch your plants grow stress-free.
The rate at which indoor plants die every year is alarming. With this burgeoning rate, some plant owners get frustrated while some are deterred from owning any plants. However, with SmartyPlants things are easy to manage.
“We want you to enjoy your plants stress-free, and with our technology, we can make sure they’re looked after. We are driven to help people plant smarter, not harder.” Said Ben Beavers, Founder and CEO of SmartyPlants.
The device connects with any existing home system for easy and stress-free monitoring. You can access the device to analyze the room and get personal recommendations on what kind of plants will be suitable for the indoor environment. It can even suggest personalized names for your plants so you remember each one of them since scientific names can be tricky to remember.
If you are someone who often forgets to water your plants, don’t worry as this device will send daily reminders on your phone to keep a routine check. It is Wi-Fi enabled and can be remotely controlled, so when you are away, you can get instant updates on your plant’s well-being.
The fun thing is, it works with any type of plant, whether it’s a succulent, carnivorous, tropical, ferns, climbers, cacti, or palms, the smart sensor is always one step ahead. Not just houseplants, it works seamlessly with plants in offices and conservatories as well. Currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, early birds can get it for a discounted price of $36.
