Chapter 10. Wireless Gardening with the ESP8266
In this chapter, we are again going to take everything we've learned so far and apply it to a concrete project. Here, we are going to building a wireless, cloud-based gardening project based on the ESP8266. It will allow you to monitor the temperature and humidity of a plant, or your whole garden, and water it if necessary.
We are first going to set up the project so it sends you automated alerts when the plant is dry. Then, we'll set it up so you can not only monitor it remotely, but also activate a watering pump if necessary. Let's start!
