Here are the details of my Automated Herb Plant Watering System: Link
If anyone has tips on small pumps, I would welcome guidance. This little 5v pump is fun and meets my small needs, but not sure it could service a dozen plants. So, I’m searching for a larger pump, likely have to go for something 12v as well.
Welcome any and all feedback.

Keen to know how you take into account that some plants like wetter conditions, some drier? I guess you would need more than one pump for that.
Hi Nick,
My kids said the same thing! Yes, definitely another sensor + pump + relay would allow for those measurements to distribute water to plants that need more water, etc.
Fortunately with open GPIO pins on d1-mini, this means I could easily add more sensors and relays to control the pump.
Looking to duplicate this to support about 10 plants, so may walk down the multi-pump approach.
BTW, see you are from New Zealand – awesome place/people. Greetings from Munich.

Danke. We like it here. We have had a knock back this week, a covid outbreak in the community.
