In these modern times, smartphones play a very important role in the lives of human beings, since their use is not limited to calls or messages, but has a world of possibilities thanks to certain accessories that can become your great allies.
Some phones have the ability to track a person thanks to their GPS accessories, others even help you perform medical tests such as an electrocardiogram, blood oxygen measurement, and can even tell you what your blood pressure is.
If a smartphone can tell how your heart is, imagine what it can do to help you remember your household chores!
One of the tasks that is often forgotten is watering plants, and it is thanks to Google Lens and other specialized applications such as PlansDoctor that you can identify the state of a plant, as well as the care it needs and even when it needs water.
While the apps mentioned above can provide information about a plant, they are not yet capable of providing details of the current status of a plant, but there are several devices on the market that do.
These devices are shaped like a trowel and work by inserting the elongated part into the soil of the plants you want to monitor.
The sensors on this device will provide accurate data on the state of the plants and, like all devices, they require a WiFi connection so that you can access information from anywhere in the home.
Some of the variables that it measures are contact with the sun, light levels, temperature, as well as humidity and nutrients in the soil. Thanks to these actions, users will be able to know when they should water each of the plants, as well as when it is important to change the soil.
It should be noted that not all smartphones are compatible with the devices on the market, but fortunately there are several that can be adjusted to your needs so you don’t die trying to be “the plant lady.”
