well","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":334.039,"end_s":340.52,"text":"around 15% and then it dropped all the way down to about 5% which looks like

little product as the wise Sheldon Cooper once said Penny everything is better with Bluetooth now you can use Bluetooth to grow your plants right now compatibility is limited to iOS devices only that support Bluetooth smart but compatibility may be extended to other Platforms in the future however it does need bluetooth smart in order to function it has to be very power efficient in order for

I'm trying to extract it from the box ah there we go all right it features sensors for sunlight so that one's right here soil moisture which is actually very look at this eco-friendly cardboard

in it it's adorable those parrot guys they so funny anyway sunlight soil moisture I'm going to stop buying time for myself to get this thing out of here aha okay soil moisture fertilizer levels and finally air temperature are all detected by this thing so it is designed for people like me who allow things like that to happen to every plant that they touch look how dead that thing is I even my wife had a fairly Brown thumb for the longest time until she finally had one flower an orchid that she managed to keep alive for an extended period of time which I plan to steal and see if I can then replicate that feet by using this it sends push notifications to your phone and you set it up by selecting from a database of more than 6,000 plants trees and vegetables and it'll basically tell you stuff like oh hey you could more optimally position this plant in order to get the right amount of sunlight or hey this plant needs water you're 3 days late and cool stuff like that so without further Ado I have to go retrieve that flower which might be a bit of a problem all right so I have a dastardly plan to test the flower power I'm going to head home and I'm going to steal my wife's plant okay I don't think she sees me sh okay got to switch to night vision mode oh that doesn't seem to be working very well H oh bollocks I guess I could just turn on a light ah yes apparently night vision Mode still needs a little bit of light ow kids all right there's the victim the flower that I'm stealing now putting it by the door taking it with me tomorrow she will never know why are you taking my orchid I don't have your orchid I don't know what you're talking about this is her Orchid I'm taking it so I can test the the plant monitor app thing all right so I have returned alive from my mission here guys and I've also figured out how to install the battery in this thing so positive terminal down then it's got a nice little Rubber seal here you go ahead and uh pop that bad boy into place

this information you can actually see the plant isn't in very good shape there's nothing it can do to make you actually deal with it um so in this case you can see the water level when I got the plant was around uh well around 15% and then it dropped all the way down to about 5% which looks like it might have floored out which might even be the lowest that it can measure and then I just kind of didn't do anything with it for like about 10 or 15 days in there and so yeah is it in the greatest condition no but is that the flower power's fault no it actually seems to work incredibly well uh the
