TEASER: Smart, automatic plant pot Flaura (DIY, 3D printed, Arduino, Self watering) -

Flaura - Smart Plant Pot 2021-06-07 | #3Dprinting #arduino #DIY #blynk #smarthome #shorts

This is a DIY, opensource project and on this channel I will release a detailed, step-by-step video series about how to build a Flaura plant pot on your own.

Flaura is a smart, automaticly watering plant pot, that I developed to save the life of my plants. It features a capacitive soil moisture sensor, a 3D printed housing, WiFi, Bluetooth and Arduino programm code.

It uses the Blynk app to display all the gathered sensor data on you mobile phone, change settings or send you push notifications if the water tank is empty or the battery needs to be recharged.
