This is the third video of my tutorial series on how to build your own “Flaura”, which is my Do-It-Yourself, Open-source project.
Flaura is a smart, self-watering plant pot that comes with the following features:
- 3D printed housing
- Integrated water tank
- Soil moisture measurement
- Automatic watering
- Rechargeable battery
- Arduino Code
- App control and data display
- Push notifications
Consider watching the introductory video, to learn more about the features and my future plans with Flaura: • Flaura - Automatic, Sm...
I will release more step-by-step video tutorials here in the future on how to build such a plant pot yourself. Stay tuned! 😉

Hey guys, In my brief survey so far, around 200 people have indicated that they are interested in a complete kit for Flaura. From 250 people I think the whole organizational effort (finding reliable suppliers, importing goods, clarifying legal and bureaucratic questions, organizing shipping) would make sense for me. Can we make the 250? If you haven't voted yet, here is the poll: docs.google.com/forms/d/1GDRpVRxuvAgHPNp1CEXVgIKZr3mZhqmVqcmtKoSlDA8

Are we at 250? I have started to find parts but some of them are difficult, especially the custom circuit board. I would like to be able to just get a kit with one included, or be able to buy individual ones from you?

I rarely give a 'thumbs up' for videos, but this one deserves it for being plenty of details. That is great for DIY people, like me. I found the exposition about the capacitive sensors particularly interesting (that's in another video that I suggest you to take a look).

I love how this project utilizes that sensor from the bottom up. only 6k subs? dude I'm going to watch you blow up like 'stuff made here' did.

Hi, I know it's an old project, Can you make a complete list and with links (maybe Aliexpress links) to the things I need to buy to make such a plant pot? or perhaps you go with the idea of making a newer and easier plant pot project? 😁

@PedroFNMartins 2 жыл бұрын

Nice project! Now it would be nice a larger version, this one it's just for small plants. And the only thing I would change is the water level sensor. I would use another capacitive soil sensor for the water level sensor because using electrodes will corrode overtime and you will need to replace them. Overall great job.

@FlauraSmartPlantPot 2 жыл бұрын

The D32 also works in principle, but the pin layout is different, so you would then have to adapt the custom circuit board accordingly.

And for the capacitive sensor, Amazon UK have devices from a supplier called AITRIP. These sensors have TL555C timer chips which are the low power CMOS versions. I bought 10 of these and they are suitable.

Thanks for sharing this great tip! My next video will go into a little more detail on these capacitive soil moisture sensors. I found out that a lot of them have some kind a flaw.

Great video, and i'm going to give this project a try! I noticed that there's a water level sensor on the pcb and the parts list mentions the connectors jst with 6 pins, but i can't find the water level sensor part description or reference anywhere... can you provide some info on the part? TIA

@FlauraSmartPlantPot 2 жыл бұрын

The water level sensor IS just this cable with 6 wires ;) In this video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gqiba5iet6-yoYU.html) at 15:41 you can see how it looks like.It's a really cheap and simple but efficient design.

@alancross2679 2 жыл бұрын

Have printed and built it! Just waiting for the pump to arrive from China. I have calibrated the capacitive sensor with a test program logging to an Adafruit database over a number of days with different moisture levels. All looks good. Can you post the ESP32 code so that I can test the scheduling/Blynk interface and battery life?

Wow impressive how fast you were with it. Unfortunately, the code is not really finished yet and I want to concentrate on the assembly videos first. I don't want to embarrass myself with the unfinished code, can I somehow send it to you privately for testing?

@FlauraSmartPlantPot Leider musste ich amEnde dieser Videoreihe feststellen, das es keine funktionierende Software für diesen Blumentopf gibt. Somit war alles verschwendet. Die Zeit und das Geld für die Hardware. Vielleicht könntest du das noch nachträglich in deine Videos am Anfang einblenden. Unfortunately, at the end of this video series I discovered that there is no working software for this flower pot. So everything was wasted. The time and money for the hardware. Maybe you could add this to the beginning of your videos. Gruß Andi
