Ideal Plant Sensor?

[zanduh]

I know that going high tech isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but for those of you who are not opposed to a little technology assistance, what would your ideal plant sensor look like for bonsai use?

In my spare time I like to tinker and it feels like this is something that could be perfected.

My ideal device if the sky is the limit:
- affordable sensors
- 24/7 use without removing from pot
- wireless (wifi) and phone app
- Accurate air temperature readings
- Accurate soil moisture reading
- Accurate light reading (PAR preferable)
- Accurate PH levels
- Accurate humidity detection
- waterproof and freeze proof
- Impact/fall detection
- automated water valve capabilities

You also need to make it idiot proof!!

My finger and my eyeballs cover most of those functions, but they are attached to an idiot, and they definitely don't work 24/7, so we do have quite a design challenge.

Here is some inspiration available on Amazon !

It should off course be solar charged and walk from tree to tree alone.
