Plant Care Goes Wi-Fi

How nice would it be to have your own personal helper reminding you when your plants need some tender loving care, all by an alert sent to your smartphone? Outdoor and Indoor plant sensors made by Koubachi, a Swiss company whose mission is to simplify your life by revolutionizing the way objects in your home are communicating with you, now provides homeowners with this information, all through wireless technology. The plant sensor, otherwise known as your new plant care assistant, can accurately determine the vitality of your plants and send you reports with specific plant-care advice when needed, essentially giving your plant a voice.

Some features include measuring the soil moisture, temperature and light intensity of your plants. For example, if your plant isn't getting enough moisture, it will send a notification right to your phone suggesting you add water.

What's more, there are indoor and outdoor plant sensors. While the indoor model is splashproof, the outdoor sensor is fully rainproof and withstands all weather conditions. Each sensor is small enough to hide in a planter, pot or flower bush, and you can use one sensor for multiple plants as well. Koubachi offers its app and service on your phone for free with the purchase of the sensor, and it works from anywhere at any time.

You'll always know if your plant is getting enough sunlight and in the best location in your home, with the temperature constantly monitored to ensure its needs are met. Say goodbye to the days of dead household plants—now everyone can have a green thumb. Plant sensors are $99 and available online at http://www.koubachi.com/main?locale=en.
