You put the sensor into the flower pot, the flower box or flower bed and already every 15 minutes Temperature, amount of fertilizer, water content and sunlight are measured and transmitted via Bluetooth 4.0 to the iOS device. On this you can then display this data and see if you optimally supplied its flower. To do that you do not even have to do something themselves, in the app you can specify exactly which plant is and the phone reminds you then if you should pour the flower or must make to a more shaded area.
That's all very convenient. I once created a video where I show the sensor to be in the pot, and then of course the app and what you can do with it and how the whole things look like concrete. This helps one I think is quite good even to make an informed judgment.
The sensor can be used as I said also outdoor and withstands temperatures from -10 ° C to + 50 ° C, it will also rain quite well tolerated. Since I can insets him just inside do not provide practical advice to, however. One can also define multiple sensors and then let all of the app evaluate its flowers. You can even plug in the Power Flower a flower box and then specify all the plants that are in him, he then monitored within 5-15cm all flowers. Where temperature and solar radiation probably also apply to flowers from far away, he is likely to have only problems, the water content further away anaylsieren reliable.
I can so far, however, little to say about how the statements are reliable. It is important in such an app, of course, that the data on which the statements of the app also support votes and they really know how much water or solar plant benötig. Because you want to be but quite developed under scientific guidance we go there once out of the best.
Of course, it begs the question of the meaning of the whole. For me personally, as a sensor + app is quite good, because my flowers die regularly because I just completely forget in times of stress. However, the big question for me was before: In how far this sensor the Erinnerungfuntkion my phone is superior in the week I Program the simple 2x Blumengießen?
For me personally, the answer is still: do not. My houseplant does not require much care and not optimal conditions, which stands where it stands, is watered regularly and is good.
But if one has special plants, whether simple or very expensive plant maintenance intensive plants then of course this can already make sense, because you can maintain so really optimal, the plants.
However, the fun is already expensive, because who I so get me a device for a plant, then I want it to actually use them for all the plants. And then the fun really expensive at current price. 1/5 or 1/10 of the price would indeed first very inexpensive, but since it can be assumed that someone of so and fell At length a Flowerpower gadget found it, I summed up more of them want to be again. But I believe no one is willing to pay for 10 flowerpots in the apartment 500. Even 100 would be there a lot.
Therefore, I would even say that the Parrot Flower Power is a great thing, but is suffering from its extremely unfavorable price / performance ratio, because you should have many of these Senoren simple and absolutely does not count. Since I am he prefers to stay with the alarm clock on my cell phone.
