Implementation

Workflow

  1. Moisture Sensor determines whether plant needs water or not.
  2. If No, Green LED turns on.  
  3. If Yes, Blue LED turns on.  Sends notification via text to owner & logs even in Google Sheets.
  4. The plant now requires interaction before it will water itself.
  5. If the light is bright, and the owner speaks to it (or plays music, etc.), it will then water itself for 5 seconds.  The owner must continue interacting until the Moisture Sensor is satisfied once again.  [To simulate water flowing, the Blue LED flashes.]
  6. Once the Moisture Sensor is satisfied, the Green LED turns back on.
