Plant Lets You Know When Its Thirsty

Here a moist sensor is used to measure if the plants needs to be watered or not. If this is the case the Arduino communicates with twitter and lets the user know, wherever he is, that his plant needs to be watered.

Botanicalls Kits let plants reach out for human help! They offer a connection to your leafy pal via online Twitter status updates to your mobile phone. When your plant needs water, it will post to let you know, and send its thanks when you show it love.






Reflection

Very interesting way of using the web 2.0 to get information across. I would say its a very practical solution if you are one of those persons who is always on the net but forget the choirs that need to be done around the house. A perfect way to remind yourself what needs to be done.
