Arduino Watering project Soil Moistures

🎯 Purpose

Build a system that automatically waters all my plants at home.

🧩 High‑level plan

• Multiple LCD displays for status/metrics.
• At least 9 soil‑moisture sensors read via a multiplexer.
• A stand‑alone server to receive data from Arduino and expose an API.
• A simple phone app to control watering and view plant info.

🧪 First steps

Started with a small Arduino IDE program to print live moisture values from one soil‑moisture sensor.

⏭️ Next

• Wire up the multiplexer and read all 9+ channels.
• Push readings to the server API with timestamps & IDs.
• Add per‑plant thresholds and pump relay control.
• Draft the mobile UI for status and manual override.
