Enviro Grow (Pico W Aboard) review
By Marc de Vinck. Posted
And how can we not cover the Enviro Grow systems by Pimoroni when talking about remote sensing and gardening? In a previous Best of Breed, I reviewed the Grow Kit, and no surprise, it was great. Well, now there is the Enviro Grow kit with a Raspberry Pi Pico on-board ($51), featuring lots of accessories to get you started.
Take back control of your online data, with Raspberry Pi.
The kit includes the main Enviro Grow board with the Raspberry Pi Pico on the back. The board also includes an on-board BME280 temperature, pressure, humidity sensor, a Piezo buzzer, and a light and proximity sensor. And that’s just the beginning of what’s included in the kit – you also get three moisture sensors, three mini submersible pumps, a battery pack, batteries, and a bunch of other parts to get a fully automatic watering system up and running. It’s a great kit for a great price. Head over to the Pimoroni site to learn more.
Verdict
10/10
