Smart Plant Pot With WS2812B Led Strip

Hello, Today I present you my RGB Smart Plant Pot. One day I thought to myself what it would be like to illuminate a plant from below. So I got to work and designed a pot with automatic irrigation and WS2812B Led strip.

• 3D printer
• Soldering station

At first I 3D printed some parts for my Smart Plant pot

-> Inner pot (16hours)

-> Pot (2Days)

-> Cover (10min.)

-> Bottom Cover (45min.)

Tingiverse: Smart Plant Pot With WS2812B Led Strip by AndrewAggenstein - Thingiverse

In this step I lay the cables in the housing and plug all sensors together (soil moisture sensor to IC board) Shorten and lay the pump cables (shorten all cables ...). I also fix the sensors all in place.

Den Arduino-Code auf dem Board laden

Now I wire everything see: "Bread board".

Additionally I solder the ws2812B led strips into the inner pot and lay the cables in the housing.

Cut a piece of pipe to connect the iner pot to the pump.

Finally, just put the plant in the inner pot and fill it with water.
