Is anybody successful in using LoraWAN to make watering house plants, monitored by other LoraWan devices work? I forget to water my plants. Thought I might be able to use M5 and AWS to manage that. :)

I have a setup that uses MQTT to allow Home Assistant to run automated watering, sensor data collection, etc. The example here is coded for ESPHome https://github.com/rasclatt-dot-com/ESP32-Plant-Waterer-for-ESPHome

I don't know about LoRa but its entirely possible to do it with MQTT over wifi.
M5Stack also have a sensor /pump unit designed just for this problem.

@ajb2k3 Has anyone used this unit with Python as I can only see it works with Arduino or UIFlow. I was wondering how to program it with Python, or MicroPython.
-
Uiflow is micropython but its easy using basic I/O commands.

I found this while browsing and wanted to add a quick thought: has anyone tried integrating weather data into their setup to optimize water usage based on forecasted precipitation? I used an ESP32 with Home Assistant for watering, and it's been seamless. UIFlow makes coding with MicroPython super easy. Definitely worth trying if you're looking for flexibility and control.
