My plants were dying, so I built a SMART GARDEN to SAVE THEM

In this video I design, assemble, and debug the first prototype of AutoGarden, a smart garden monitoring system built around an ESP32 and Home Assistant. The system monitors soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and pressure, then reports the data to Home Assistant over WiFi. This project involved: PCB design Soldering ESPHome Home Assistant BME280 sensor integration Soil moisture sensing Linux troubleshooting AutoGarden is an ongoing project, so expect future updates as I continue improving the hardware and software.
