Community integration of the Chirp I2C soil moisture sensor with the Particle Photon IoT platform. Includes a ported library and cloud-connected moisture monitoring for wireless plant care applications.
Use Cases:Environmental MonitoringIoT Prototyping
Overview
A community-driven port of the Chirp / Catnip Electronics I2C soil moisture sensor library to the Particle Photon platform. Contributed by Miriam Cox and Mike (VintageGeek), this project enables Particle users to read soil moisture, temperature, and light data and push it to the Particle Cloud for remote monitoring.
Features
- Particle Photon library for Chirp I2C sensor
- Cloud-connected soil moisture readings
- Wireless plant monitoring via Particle Console or webhooks
- Based on the Apollon77 Arduino library, adapted for Particle's Wiring framework
Use Cases
- Remote plant watering alerts via Particle Cloud
- Integration with IFTTT or other webhook services for automated irrigation triggers
- Multi-sensor garden monitoring dashboards
