PLT-1 Ultimate Plant Sensor For Home Assistant
The PLT-1B does not include a 18650 battery, you can get one here. The PLT-1 is an indoor plant multisensor that measures soil moisture, air temperature, humidity, LUX, and UV. It also features an onboard piezo buzzer and addressable RGB LED. Soil temperature can be measured using the optional temperature probe add-on. The sensor comes in a battery (B) and non-battery version, with the non-battery version being significantly smaller. The PLT-1 uses a capacitive soil moisture sensor, which offers much better accuracy and durability compared to resistive sensors. Additionally, the ground contact portion is protected with a conformal coating, ensuring longevity and resistance to environmental factors. USE CASES Automated Watering: With its capacitive soil moisture sensor, you can set up automations to water plants only when moisture levels drop below a certain threshold. Optimizing Sunlight Exposure: Use the LUX and UV sensors to monitor light levels, ensuring your plants get the rig
