PlantLink links (which can be used for indoor or outdoor plants) collect soil moisture levels and communicate with the basestation wirelessly (up to 100 yards away) using the Zigbee specification. This specification has a lower demand on power when compared to WiFi or Bluetooth and allows the link to work for over a year using two AAAA batteries. It is necessary to setup one link with each plant you wish to monitor and there are currently over 50,000 species of plants in the PlantLink database each with their specific watering needs and more that can be added upon request. You may setup as many as 64 links per basestation. The basestation connects the links to the PlantLink website (via your router) where the data is collected and watering schedules are updated. You can log into the website from anywhere (using your smart phone, tablet, computer, etc.) at anytime to view the watering schedule of each plant.
The PlantLink basestation (3.75″ long x 2″ wide x 4.5″ high including the base) is simple and is made of sturdy hard plastic with a removable base. The front of the unit shows an indicator/status light in the shape of a WiFi signal with a leaf at the bottom (PlantLink’s logo). The back of the unit has the basestation number needed to setup a PlantLink account.
