3
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:21,920
the parrot flower power what the hell is this you might be asking yourself and

4
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:27,439
what it is is a very Innovative little product as the wise Sheldon Cooper once

5
00:00:24,439 --> 00:00:30,080
said Penny everything is better with

6
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:34,840
Bluetooth now you can use Bluetooth to grow your plants right now compatibility

7
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:39,600
is limited to iOS devices only that support Bluetooth smart but

8
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:43,640
compatibility may be extended to other Platforms in the future however it does

9
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:46,879
need bluetooth smart in order to function it has to be very power

10
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:51,120
efficient in order for something like this to make sense the flower power is

11
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:55,960
meant to be planted close to an indoor or outdoor plant it is water resistant

12
00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:01,559
so that is ipx 5 and ipx7 certification and features sensors

13
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:09,280
which I I'm trying to extract it from the box ah there we go all right it

14
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:11,880
features sensors for sunlight so that

15
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:15,240
one's right here soil moisture which is actually very look at this eco-friendly

16
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:20,920
cardboard packaging I love it even the little like fake planter box that comes

17
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:22,280
in is a uh is like a piece of paper and

18
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:26,560
then there's like a little packet that looks like seeds or something with the

19
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:32,280
instructions in it it's adorable those parrot guys they so funny anyway

20
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:38,840
sunlight soil moisture I'm going to stop buying time for myself to get this thing

21
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,079
out of here aha okay soil moisture

22
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:45,399
fertilizer levels and finally air temperature are all detected by this

23
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:50,280
thing so it is designed for people like me who allow things like that to happen

24
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:55,520
to every plant that they touch look how dead that thing is I even my wife had a

25
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:00,640
fairly Brown thumb for the longest time until she finally had one flower an

26
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:05,840
orchid that she managed to keep alive for an extended period of time which I

27
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:10,879
plan to steal and see if I can then replicate that feet by using this it

28
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:15,560
sends push notifications to your phone and you set it up by selecting from a

29
00:02:13,239 --> 00:02:19,680
database of more than 6,000 plants trees and vegetables and it'll basically tell

30
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,760
you stuff like oh hey you could more optimally position this plant in order

31
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:27,239
to get the right amount of sunlight or hey this plant needs water you're 3 days

32
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:32,200
late and cool stuff like that so without further Ado I have to go retrieve that

33
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:35,040
flower which might be a bit of a problem

34
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:40,319
all right so I have a dastardly plan to test the flower power I'm going to head

35
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,400
home and I'm going to steal my wife's plant okay I don't think she sees

36
00:02:44,519 --> 00:02:47,920
me

37
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:56,080
sh okay got to switch to night vision

38
00:02:53,159 --> 00:03:03,879
mode oh that doesn't seem to be working very well

39
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:11,920
H oh bollocks I guess I could just turn on a light ah yes apparently night

40
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:17,120
vision Mode still needs a little bit of light

41
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:22,280
ow kids all right there's the

42
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:22,280
victim the flower that I'm stealing

43
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:31,200
now putting it by the door taking it with me tomorrow

44
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,560
she will never

45
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:45,840
know why are you taking my orchid I don't have your orchid I don't

46
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:52,840
know what you're talking about this is her Orchid I'm taking it

47
00:03:49,239 --> 00:03:55,680
so I can test the the plant monitor app

48
00:03:52,840 --> 00:04:00,360
thing all right so I have returned alive from my mission here guys and I've also

49
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:04,519
figured out how to install the battery in this thing so positive terminal down

50
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:10,000
then it's got a nice little Rubber seal here you go ahead and uh pop that bad

51
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:12,079
boy into place there you go twist it so

52
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,640
it's can you know stay oh there you go look at that green thing goes on so what

53
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:21,919
I'm going to do is because I don't own an iPad Mini or you know an iPhone 4S or

54
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:26,360
an iPad third gen is I'm actually going to borrow one to set this up then in the

55
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:32,320
time that I'm waiting for mine to come in um we will give it about a week and

56
00:04:30,039 --> 00:04:36,240
see if the plant manages to stay alive so we're just going to stab it into the

57
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:41,440
plant here which hopefully won't damage it and there you have it it is installed

58
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,800
wish me luck because if this thing dies in the week that we are testing this I

59
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:49,440
will die too so I think the conclusion for this

60
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:55,680
is actually fairly simple now I've had this plant uh running on the flower

61
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:57,600
power since wow actually uh it's been uh

62
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:01,479
just over a month and so you can actually see it gives you little handy

63
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:05,800
little graphs here you can look at live data you can look at Daily data weekly

64
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:11,080
data so you can break down things like sunlight in terms of how it's doing for

65
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,600
light per day versus per week so you can

66
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:17,720
see patterns in the daylight over even as much as a month 3 months 6 months

67
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:21,840
over a year and I think the conclusion here is that while the flower power can

68
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,319
tell you all of this information you can actually see the plant isn't in very

69
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:30,360
good shape there's nothing it can do to make you actually deal with it um so in

70
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:36,680
this case you can see the water level when I got the plant was around uh well

71
00:05:34,039 --> 00:05:40,520
around 15% and then it dropped all the way down to about 5% which looks like it

72
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,280
might have floored out which might even be the lowest that it can measure and

73
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:49,360
then I just kind of didn't do anything with it for like about 10 or 15 days in

74
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:54,560
there and so yeah is it in the greatest condition no but is that the flower

75
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:58,400
power's fault no it actually seems to work incredibly well uh the only thing

76
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:01,960
that it didn't track for me was fertilizer which makes sense because I

77
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:06,400
don't have any fertilizer in here at all so there you go guys if you're looking

78
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:10,560
for a supremely awesome gift for the gardener and your family and you're

79
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:13,680
willing to spend 60 bucks for something that helps you at least know how to take

80
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:18,319
care of your plants even if it doesn't help you be any less you know absent-minded about actually doing

81
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,240
anything I mean it does give you notifications okay it does help you be

82
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,360
less absent minded okay if it doesn't help you be less lazy then there you go

83
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:29,400
