The purpose of this paper and project was to create a dynamic plant watering system that could adjust based on weather and sunlight data. The system utilizes data from the National Weather Service, as well as the plant's orientation and location to adjust the watering frequency. A working proof-of-concept was built and tested on an indoor potted plant over a couple of weeks. Testing showed that the system was able to successfully adjust based on local weather conditions and changing sunlight hours. This project serves as an example of how open-source data and resources can be used to make day-to-day tasks much more effortless.
