Mesh-connected houseplants getting fresh air


Spring is around the corner and many in the US are itching for warmer weather. Nick Engmann isn’t waiting on nature, he’s taking his gardening indoors with an impressive mesh-connected network of houseplants.

Nick’s indoor garden starts with an Argon gateway. The Argon connects to his home Wi-Fi router as well as creates a local mesh network for other Particle Gen 3 devices to join. That’s useful since each plant in Nick’s garden network includes a Xenon with a moisture and humidity sensor packed inside a fancy, custom 3D enclosure shown above.

Whether you’re building a connected garden or the Internet of Beer (more on this below), make sure you share what you’re building in the forum or tweet at @Particle with your latest creation. I can’t wait to see what you’re making!
