Plant Moisture Monitor

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to make your own plant "babysitter" using an Arduino CPX.

You'll be able to track and monitor your plant's soil moisture level, temperature, and light value.

You'll also receive an alert from the CPX and a push notification to your mobile when one of the parameters exceeds its regular values.

In addition, the integration with "integromat" will automatically create a google sheet for you containing all the data of your plant which will auto update every 15 minutes.

All these features will assist you in taking care of your plant and viewing its environmental history.

GOOD LUCK !

What you'll need?

1. An Arduino circuit playground board.

2. A plant.

3. An alligator connector.

4. A single screw.

1. Download this arduino code to your computer and load it onto your CPX

Download BLYNK app configure it to your CPX

Use these instructions to setup your interface:

1. V0 - connect to the "level setting" widget
2. V1 - connect to the "gauge" widget
3. V2 - connect to the "labled value" widget
4. V3 - connect to the "LCD" and "styled button" widget
5. V4 - connect to the "styled button" widget

Go to Integromat website and create a free account.

Follow these images to configure properly, with some notes:

1. you can find your bylnk-cloud.com ip by pinging it at cmd (windows) 0r terminal (mac)

2. you need to open a google sheet and choose it

3. all HTTP are "HTTP requests", and the google sheets is "add row"

Connect one end of the alligator to A1 and the other end to the screw.
Stick the screw in the plant's soil

NOW you're all set to go!
