This kit lets you assemble a solar-powered ESP32-C3 device that reads soil moisture levels and broadcasts a wireless alert via BLE whenever your houseplant is parched—no cloud, no app subscriptions, just a simple beacon your phone can detect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll construct a sealed, plant-tag-sized monitor that fits into any pot. The included IP65 box houses the ESP32-C3 Super Mini, TP4056 charging module, and an 18650 cell, all fed by a 6V 1W solar panel. A moisture sensor probe measures conductivity in the soil, and the microcontroller sends a watering-needed notification over BLE to a nearby phone.
