Spent some of the weekend playing with Arduinos + Home Assistant (@homeassistant) to keep a better eye on my plants. Even though it's C++, it's so refreshing compared to shipping modern prod code!

Single file, no tests, no 3rd party dependencies, no infra, just run code & see results immediately (if it works, it's done). And with deep sleep the result should keep running on battery for years untouched. Super fun! ✨

I am extremely doubtful on this. Your moisture sensor seems to be just a bit of copper PCB. This will corrode in the earth of your plants quite fast

@pimterry Nice! You're ready for the next level as Home Assistant tinkerer and use its sister project ESPHome: https://esphome.io/
