Building a Plant Monitoring Tool with IoT
Creating an Internet of Things (IoT) app to monitor a house plant is a pragmatic starting place to learn about data that changes over time. This project is accessible to everyone from students working on a science fair project to botanists monitoring exotic plant nurseries.
For this project, we’ll use InfluxDB, a time series platform that specializes in storing sequential data as it appears over time.
We classify the data it collects as time series data because it includes a timestamp, which appears as the first column in storage.
