{"product_id":"grow","title":"Grow","description":"\u003cp\u003eA compact Raspberry Pi powered monitoring system designed to help you take the best possible care of your plants. It will tell you how well they're hydrated, attract your attention when they need water and, if you want to go a step further, even give them water!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAutomatic, systematic and hydromatic!\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of this clever system is the \u003cstrong\u003eGrow HAT Mini\u003c\/strong\u003e. This Raspberry Pi Mini HAT has a tiny screen to keep an eye on the state of the system, four tactile buttons for navigation and an on-board piezo buzzer to politely request your attention when your plants need you. There's also a light sensor, which we've used in our code example to stop the alarm from chirping away at night. We've covered the PCB in little gold flowers, because we love you. 🌻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are three connectors on board to attach our \u003cstrong\u003ecapacitive moisture sensors, \u003c\/strong\u003eso you can measure the moisture levels in three separate pots. Because there are no exposed electrodes, capacitive sensors are a lot less vulnerable to corrosion over time than old school resistive sensors. They even have a little area so you can label them with plant names (we think 'Pete' is a great plant name).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the back of the Grow HAT Mini there are another three connectors that will let you turn low-current 5v devices on and off, like pumps, motors, valves, solenoids or lights. There's also a set of broken out I2C connections, perfect for adding on an I2C breakout (like those in \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/breakout-garden?stock=true\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eour Breakout Garden range\u003c\/a\u003e). Being able to add on more sensors and interface with extra devices means that it's possible to level up your budding Grow system to something much more capable and sophisticated - a proper little \u003cstrong\u003esmart greenhouse for your desktop \u003c\/strong\u003e(or your spaceship, classroom or apocalyptic bunker!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrow Kit
