Plant133

Status: Completed Stack: ESP32 • C++ • Svelte • KiCad

Overview  

Plant133 is an automated indoor plant watering system designed to maintain soil moisture within a user-defined range. The project has evolved from a single-plant breadboard prototype to a multi-plant (Plant1337) system with a custom PCB and a modern Svelte-based dashboard.
