#CES 2015 : Flower Power H2O, the smart sensor that waters for your plant while you are away.
Flower Power H2O is the second generation of plant sensors. Its elegant and solid design, inspired by nature, is a perfect fit for any pot or garden environment. The Flower Power H2O has a built in irrigation system that can turn just about any screw-top bottle (from 0,5L to 2L) into a water reservoir, giving you up to 3 weeks of autonomous irrigation during your holidays and family trips.
With the bottle, the Flower Power H2O is the world’s most advanced plant sensor & irrigation system, providing up to 3 weeks of smart and autonomous irrigation to keep your plants happy and healthy until you get back.
Without the bottle, the Flower Power H2O is the world’s most advanced plant sensor, a professional-grade instrument affordable enough for your home.
This smart device waters your plants using exactly the right amount of water at exactly the right time, every time. It also gives you personalized advice through the free iOS and Android dedicated App. You will receive alerts on your Smartphone* when your plants need care, via BluetoothSmart.
No one in my home has a green thumb. Sure, like any normal family we have some decorative blooms around the house, but nothing to get too crazy over. Mostly because we are a family on the go, plants suffer in both the summer and winter, when the weather is most extreme. If plants could talk, right?
Well, Parrot developed a way to get the data you need about plants, simply by walking by. While we may be too busy to notice a plant while rushing past, what if you could receive a shout of desperation. A plant begging you for water through a push notification is hard to ignore.
Wow! Fantastic review from +Brads Greenhouse!
"I have to give this five out of five on ease of use!"

Great explanation about how the Flower Power works with the GreenIQ system.
“We have some features our competitors have not developed, especially our collaboration with the giant French tech company Parrot,” says Dahan. “Parrot developed a cool gadget, Flower Power, which is an IoT sensor to measure soil moisture and fertilizer level. Stick it in the ground and it transmits to your smartphone when water or fertilizer is needed.”
Dahan proposed a “smart garden” partnership to Parrot enabling Flower Power to send its signals directly to the GreenIQ unit, so that watering and fertilizing can be adjusted automatically.
“They loved the idea, and after we both did some R&D, we paired our products. The service is available for our customers and their customers.”
So, how do you know you can trust the recommendations your Flower Power is giving you?
We put them through their paces with this exhaustive study by botanists at Wageningen University designed to test the thresholds of plant growth. With that data we determined the optimal minimum and maximum levels of light, temperature, water, and fertilizer for each plant.
