Flower power

Seen this awesome gadget thought is let you guys in on it.

 

Although a little gimiky pretty cool for a hobby grower

 

"The unit houses four separate sensors that monitor light intensity, ambient temperature, soil moisture and fertilizer levels, with real-time alerts sent to your iPhone whenever a plant needs your assistance. For example, if your plant is becoming parched the app will send you a warning so you don’t forget to water it. Likewise, if it senses that temperatures are too high for a specific species of plant, the Flower Power will let you know before it even begins to wilt."

 

Has 2000 species university in Netherlands worked on the list maybe canna is in there.if not the sensory info is still pretty cool

Could be handy if your pump plays up or the electricity goes off or trips a switch.

 

Oh bugger, just read this, you have to be close to the device, I was thinking it would send a text message.

The sensors record data every 15 minutes and automatically sends it to connected devices when they are within range (five to 25 meters)
