fully private click now to learn more welcome to my unboxing and overview of

00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:21.920
the parrot flower power what the hell is this you might be asking yourself and

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:27.439
what it is is a very Innovative little product as the wise Sheldon Cooper once

00:00:24.439 --> 00:00:30.080
said Penny everything is better with

00:00:27.439 --> 00:00:34.840
Bluetooth now you can use Bluetooth to grow your plants right now compatibility

00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:39.600
is limited to iOS devices only that support Bluetooth smart but

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:43.640
compatibility may be extended to other Platforms in the future however it does

00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:46.879
need bluetooth smart in order to function it has to be very power

00:00:45.160 --> 00:00:51.120
efficient in order for something like this to make sense the flower power is

00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:55.960
meant to be planted close to an indoor or outdoor plant it is water resistant

00:00:53.640 --> 00:01:01.559
so that is ipx 5 and ipx7 certification and features sensors

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

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:11.880
features sensors for sunlight so that

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:15.240
one's right here soil moisture which is actually very look at this eco-friendly

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:20.920
cardboard packaging I love it even the little like fake planter box that comes

00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:22.280
in is a uh is like a piece of paper and

00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:26.560
then there's like a little packet that looks like seeds or something with the

00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:32.280
instructions in it it's adorable those parrot guys they so funny anyway

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:38.840
sunlight soil moisture I'm going to stop buying time for myself to get this thing

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:41.079
out of here aha okay soil moisture

00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:45.399
fertilizer levels and finally air temperature are all detected by this

00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:50.280
thing so it is designed for people like me who allow things like that to happen

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

00:01:53.000 --> 00:02:00.640
fairly Brown thumb for the longest time until she finally had one flower an

00:01:58.520 --> 00:02:05.840
orchid that she managed to keep alive for an extended period of time which I

00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:10.879
plan to steal and see if I can then replicate that feet by using this it

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:15.560
sends push notifications to your phone and you set it up by selecting from a

00:02:13.239 --> 00:02:19.680
database of more than 6,000 plants trees and vegetables and it'll basically tell

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:22.760
you stuff like oh hey you could more optimally position this plant in order

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

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:32.200
late and cool stuff like that so without further Ado I have to go retrieve that

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:35.040
flower which might be a bit of a problem

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

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

00:02:44.519 --> 00:02:47.920
me

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:56.080
sh okay got to switch to night vision

00:02:53.159 --> 00:03:03.879
mode oh that doesn't seem to be working very well

00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:11.920
H oh bollocks I guess I could just turn on a light ah yes apparently night

00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:17.120
vision Mode still needs a little bit of light

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:22.280
ow kids all right there's the

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:22.280
victim the flower that I'm stealing

00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:31.200
now putting it by the door taking it with me tomorrow

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:35.560
she will never

00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:45.840
know why are you taking my orchid I don't have your orchid I don't

00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:52.840
know what you're talking about this is her Orchid I'm taking it

00:03:49.239 --> 00:03:55.680
so I can test the the plant monitor app

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

00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:04.519
figured out how to install the battery in this thing so positive terminal down

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

00:04:06.920 --> 00:04:12.079
boy into place there you go twist it so

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:41.440
plant here which hopefully won't damage it and there you have it it is installed

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

00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:49.440
will die too so I think the conclusion for this

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:55.680
is actually fairly simple now I've had this plant uh running on the flower

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:57.600
power since wow actually uh it's been uh

00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:01.479
just over a month and so you can actually see it gives you little handy

00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:05.800
little graphs here you can look at live data you can look at Daily data weekly

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

00:05:08.080 --> 00:05:13.600
light per day versus per week so you can

00:05:11.080 --> 00:05:17.720
see patterns in the daylight over even as much as a month 3 months 6 months

00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:21.840
over a year and I think the conclusion here is that while the flower power can

00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:25.319
tell you all of this information you can actually see the plant isn't in very

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

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

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

00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:44.280
might have floored out which might even be the lowest that it can measure and

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

00:05:46.840 --> 00:05:54.560
there and so yeah is it in the greatest condition no but is that the flower

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:58.400
power's fault no it actually seems to work incredibly well uh the only thing

00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:01.960
that it didn't track for me was fertilizer which makes sense because I

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

00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:10.560
for a supremely awesome gift for the gardener and your family and you're

00:06:08.479 --> 00:06:13.680
willing to spend 60 bucks for something that helps you at least know how to take

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

00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:21.240
anything I mean it does give you notifications okay it does help you be

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

00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:29.400
