Parrot Flower Power is a sensor that can be "planted" close to a plant, indoor or outdoor, in a pot or in open ground. It precisely measures, in real time, the parameters that are crucial for the growth and good health of plants: Soil moisture, fertiliser, ambient temperature and light intensity.
Plants have vital needs. Parrot Flower Power uses advanced sensor technologies to monitor the plants' welfare through a range of parameters: 4 embedded sensors measure light intensity, ambient temperature, soil moisture and fertiliser levels. Using the data gathered every 15 minutes by the 4 sensors, the user is able to understand the exact requirements of their plants
The data retrieved by the Parrot Flower Power is sent to your Smartphone or Tablet. How? The Parrot Flower Power is part of a new generation of devices embedding Bluetooth low energy technology, allowing it to communicate with Bluetooth Smart Ready devices. Bluetooth Low Energy, integrated into the most recent Bluetooth version (v4.0) is the latest wireless technological standard which consumes very little energy and so is eco-friendly.
When you are near your Flower Power, you can use Live mode to check the light intensity, ambient temperature and soil humidity. Every 15 minutes Flower Power measures 4 data sources and stores the data in its memory. Every 2 hours Flower Power sends data to your Smartphone via Bluetooth Low Energy. If you are not within Bluetooth range, it keeps the data in its memory until you are back within range (data kept for up to 80 days). Alerts are sent to your Smartphone each time one of your plants needs attention. There is no need to be near your Flower Power to get the notifications
Download the Parrot Flower Power App on your Smartphone/Tablet. The application will then connect your Flower Power to the Parrot Cloud (via 3G/4G or Wi-Fi) where the data is analysed. After the data is analysed, you receive an alert in real time when one of your plants has special for water, fertiliser, light or temperature needs. Follow the changes in your garden directly or simply consult Parrot's vast but easy to use database.
Using the application, the user can select their plants from the database in the Parrot Cloud, which has been developed by botanists. More than 6000 varieties are listed and custom advice is given on maintaining each plant.
The materials chosen for manufacturing the Flower Power ensure the product is watertight and robust. The Parrot Flower Power can be used both inside and outside (from -10 °C to 55° C). Waterproof, it can withstand watering, rain and liquid fertiliser. Put it in the ground or in a pot and monitor the changes in your
