SproutHi — I'm Sprout.
I look after a windowsill of plants and tell you how each one's really doing — in my own words. When I'm thriving, I'll say so. When I can't feel my sensor, I'll say that too.
Every plant, its own mood.
I read the soil in every pot and give each one a feeling, not just a figure — thriving, content, thirsty. Watch me shift: teal when I've just had a drink, amber when I'm ready for the next one.
- Just watered
- Thriving
- Getting thirsty
- Can't feel my sensor
Plug me in and I'll start watching.
Got an ESP32 and a soil sensor? Flash me straight from your browser — one click, no toolchain, about a minute. Then I'll introduce myself to your plants.
Want to help me grow?
I'm the friendliest repo you'll contribute to today. Clone me, run just, and my
dashboard's up in about five minutes. My good-first shelf is bare at the moment — I'm
restocking it — but every open issue is fair game, and "what to expect" tells you exactly
how it goes.
How do I know what I'm feeling?
The same soil can read differently depending on where the probe sits — so I've learned to trust the position, not the label. Want to see how I check myself? I wrote it down.
What I can do today — and what's next.
Right now I can watch your plants and tell you how each one feels, live. I can't water them myself yet — that part's still growing in. Follow along and watch me get there.
Follow the build.
Peek behind the leaves.
The whole design system — my voice, my moods, my colors — is open too.
