Feature Suggestions: IoT Irrigation System and Computer Vision Plant Identification #19
I know these are pretty time intensive features to build out and I'm sure you've probably thought of them already, but wanted to suggest a couple of features that might be cool to add to the project:
An IoT Smart Irrigation System: Based on the real-time weather updates API, you could build out a RasberryPi controlled irrigation system to water your plants when needed based on the real-time weather patterns. Here's at least one plan that I've come across on how to do that: https://www.instructables.com/Raspberry-Pi-Controlled-Irrigation-System/. Could even incorporate a Smart lighting system for indoor plants as well.
A Computer Vision system to help users identify and learn the taxonomy of their plants based on photos taken by the user. Could be something similar to the Seek by iNaturalist app. They also have an API that you could probably leverage for this as well: https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/docs/
Anyway, just wanted to throw those suggestions out there! Not sure if you're looking to collaborate with anyone on the project, but happy to help out on either of those features or building out the features you already have planned. Either way, let me know!

Hey man, I really love this project idea!
