Yeah, so the name refers to the fact that in the end you will be able to use a gardening pot loaded with sensors for automating. sensi = sensors. It's a nice play on words. ;) I'd like to make available 3d printable casings for the electronics, and of course one case will simply be a garden pot.
This environment controller is only the first thing to come out. There will be automated watering, nutrient regulation, PH testing, EC/PPM testing, etc. The works. I have soil sensors almost done. They come out next. Plus the Environment Controller already has a bunch of upgrades lined up. I also plan to make available complete kits that include all the electrical components so that all you need is a soldering iron and a few hours.
