====== PlantBot ======

PlantBot is meant to be a fun project for gardening.

===== Goals =====

  * Take timelapse videos - https://github.com/NanoDano/Pi-Timelapser
  * Record data
    * Temperature
    * Humidity
    * Air pressure
    * Light
    * Noise
    * Soil Moisture
  * Automated watering
  * A bot to go with it (Discord/XMPP/Twitter/email/SMS)
  * A web portal to view timelapse videos, data, graphs

===== Hardware =====

  * [[hardware:raspberry_pi|Raspberry Pi]]
  * [[hardware:adafruit:clue|Adafruit CLUE]]

===== Scratch pad =====

  * Timelapse is done with https://github.com/NanoDano/Pi-Timelapser Django app
  * 
  * Next steps:
    * Replace timelapse Django app with something simpler - or leverage that DB for all the other data too
    * Create database to start storing data
    * Create web page to view data and plant status
    * Create a bot to announce/remind/email/text/alert
    * Automate watering
    * Need a server component that will host the data and videos and provide web interface for graphs/status - This could be the local NAS, the pi itself (if it has the diskspace) or a rented remote VPS.
