Last year I built a balcony watering system using an 8x ESP32 relay system from Lilygo, paired with mini submersible pumps. To monitor plant health, I integrated MiFlora sensors over BLE. Managing minimum soil moisture and pump duration has been 'configured' by hosting a configuration files on Pastebin.

This year, I'm taking it a step further by developing a management front-end. Instead of the hacker GUI using Pastebin, I'm implementing an extra M5 Atom running MicroPython with a web GUI. This interface allows me to configure the sensors, visualize sensor data with charts, and send notifications via NTFY to my phone.

I am considering open-sourcing the project.
