At CES 2013 this week, Parrot, better known for its audio products, has unveiled a new addition to its range of products in the form of the Parrot Flower Power monitor.
The Parrot Flower Power monitor has been designed by Parrot to help users keep their indoor plants in tip-top condition and monitor their everyday needs directly from your smartphone. Watch the video after the jump to see it in action.
Advanced Monitoring Capabilities
The companion app, which links to the sensors pushed into the plant’s soil, connects using Bluetooth and currently has a library of up to 6,000 plants in a database developed by botanists. This extensive database helps you keep your plant as healthy as possible by providing tailored advice and care instructions. The Parrot Flower Power sensors are available in either emerald or wood finishes, blending seamlessly with your home decor.
The sensors measure crucial factors such as sunlight, soil moisture, temperature, and fertilizer levels. This comprehensive monitoring ensures that you are always aware of your plant’s needs. With push notifications reminding you of your plant’s requirements, you can take timely action to maintain optimal conditions for growth. For instance, if your plant needs more sunlight, the app will notify you to move it to a brighter spot. Similarly, if the soil moisture is low, you’ll receive a reminder to water your plant.
Battery Life and Usability
One of the standout features of the Parrot Flower Power monitor is its impressive battery life. The sensors’ batteries will last for six months on a full charge, reducing the need for frequent recharging and ensuring continuous monitoring. This long battery life is particularly beneficial for users who have multiple plants or a busy lifestyle, as it minimizes maintenance efforts.
The device is user-friendly and easy to set up. Simply insert the sensor into the soil of your plant, download the companion app, and pair the device via Bluetooth. The app’s intuitive interface makes it easy to navigate through the various features and access the plant database. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a novice plant owner, the Parrot Flower Power monitor provides valuable insights and guidance to help you care for your plants effectively.
Unfortunately, no information on pricing has been released as yet. However, the device is expected to launch sometime this year. As soon as information comes to light, we will keep you updated as always.
The Parrot Flower Power monitor represents a significant advancement in plant care technology. By leveraging modern technology and botanical expertise, Parrot has created a device that not only simplifies plant care but also enhances the overall health and longevity of your plants. Whether you have a single houseplant or an entire indoor garden, the Parrot Flower Power monitor is a valuable tool that can help you achieve thriving, vibrant plants with minimal effort.
