Or is that just an excuse? A new Raspberry Pi Pico W project that turns houseplants into texting addicts, providing the perfect way to test your green thumb\u00a0<em>and<\/em> moral fortitude.<\/p>\n<p>This project was developed by\u00a0Sandeep Mistry, the Principal Software Engineer at ARM. It\u2019s very in-depth and requires a number of components, but at the end of the journey, you\u2019ll have a houseplant with a personality. And it will text you like crazy\u2014it\u2019ll ask for water, wish you goodnight, and express its passion for living.<\/p>\n<p>Using a Raspberry Pi Pico W and\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/products\/grow?variant=32208365486163\">Pimoroni\u2019s Grow Kit<\/a>,\u00a0Sandeep Mistry can track the moisture level in Mark the Plant\u2019s pot. The Pico W can then text this information to\u00a0Sandeep\u2019s phone through <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.twilio.com\/try-twilio\">Twilio<\/a>, using some colorful pre-programmed language, of course.<\/p>\n<p>So, while Mark the Plant can\u2019t say \u201cI need more light,\u201d or \u201cthe cat is eating me,\u201d it can warn Sandeep when the soil is too dry or wet. It can also send routine messages throughout the day at semi-random intervals. You know, to give it a better sense of personality.<\/p>\n<p>I guess that Mark the Plant isn\u2019t really alive. But adding just a touch of personality to your house plant could, in theory, make you a more loving and responsible plant owner.
