I built this before a 1-week vacation because my biggest worry was watering my backyard plants in summer. It uses ESP32, MQTT, backend, and an Android app to turn watering on/off, see live status, and manage schedules. I shared it on Reddit and it got a good number of upvotes, so I’m launching it here to get feedback and see if others find it useful too or what they think of this as a product.
Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Shiv, the electronic enthusiast made Smart Irrigation Controller.
I built this to solve my own vacation problem: watering backyard plants while I’m away.
I shared it on Reddit and got a good response, so I’m launching it here too. Would love your feedback on the idea, landing page, and whether this feels useful.
One thing I’m trying to figure out: if this solved the problem for you reliably, what would feel like a fair price?
A) Under $30
B) $30-$50
C) $50-$70
D) $70+
E) I wouldn’t pay for this
Love that you actually shipped something to solve your own problem rather than just talking about it. The live status in the app is a nice touch too, takes the guessing out of whether the plants got watered.
@anastasiae6728 Thanks, really appreciate that. Live status is useful for knowing whether watering actually happened and if your device is up and running. The schedule can still run offline too.
