EasyBloom Plant Sensors - Tech Savvy Gardener's Dream Come True


The EasyBloom Plant Sensor is the perfect product for that tech-savvy gardener. EasyBloom's manufacturer, San Francisco-based company PlantSense, said they wanted to bring greenhouse operator technology to amateur gardeners. In one test, EasyBloom took in 129 data points over 30 hours and recommended 321 plants for that specific soil and conditions. While guesswork can sometimes be a fun part of the process, EasyBloom provides you with solutions to ailing plants and plant suggestions you may have never thought of before.

To use the EasyBloom Plant Sensor, you plug it into a computer's USB port to register, download the necessary software program and access the online plant library. Choose a mode, such as Water, Recommend or Monitor. In "Water" mode, you'll find out if your plants are getting too much or too little water. In "Monitor" mode, EasyBloom will tell you what's wrong with an ailing plant and give you clues on how to fix it. With "Recommend" mode, EasyBloom will tell you the ideal plants to grow in the given conditions. Next, you place the sensor in the location where you'd like to put your garden, leaving it to analyze for at least 24 hours. As you sleep, the Plant Sensor will begin analyzing the sunlight, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and drainage, using the same technology NASA uses to measure the soil on Mars. Then you can plug your Plant Sensor back into your USB and see what this "Plant Doctor" can do!

The EasyBloom Plant Sensor has received rave reviews with the press. In a January 2009 article titled "Cool News Gizmos For Home, Families, Kids," CBS News writes, "The EasyBloom enables anyone to enjoy a beautiful garden, from a single potted plant to a backyard full of blooms." ABC News recommends this gadget in their December 2008 article "New Home Gadgets for the New Year" and in their May 2009 article "11 Gadgets to Make Her Gush." Barron's chose EasyBloom as their February 2nd, 2009 "Gadget of the Week," with the author writing, "I was impressed with the EasyBloom's secondary functions, which say if plants need watering and diagnose ailing ones."

There are some features of the EasyBloom Plant Sensor that could use improvement. Both Barron's and Gear Diary reviewers complain that you can't test your soil to see if you need fertilizer or compost, if there are missing minerals or if the soil acidity is off. Yet, according to the EasyBloom website: "While some plants will not thrive if your soil is too acidic or too alkaline, the overwhelming majority of plant failures are actually due to unsuitable light conditions, inhospitable hardiness zone, and under- or over-watering. EasyBloom accounts for all of these factors to make sure your plant is likely to thrive."

What is a Plant Sensor, and How Do They Work?


Every year over $60 billion is spent on plants in the USA. According to a recent poll over 30% of these plants will wither and die shortly after they have been planted. This is a massive amount of wastage which in all honesty is in most cases avoidable. There are various reasons why plants die and sometimes it is unavoidable if the plant becomes diseased or damaged. But in a huge proportion of cases it has nothing to do with these reasons. It is purely down to the new owner not caring for the plant in the correct manner. Now don't you think that is a waste of, not only your own hard earned money, but also the time it has taken the grower to produce the plant and also your own time to select and plant it? Well if this scenario is familiar to you, and I know it is very familiar to me, there is now something that you can do about it. The answer is to use a plant sensor.

Recent advances in technology have seen some amazing new products come onto the market which help not only novice gardeners but experienced and competent ones also. One of the best known of these new plant sensor products is the Easybloom by Plantsense. This device will assist you in not only getting your new plants off to a flying start, but also with any existing plants which seem to be struggling. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor plants. It works by getting the plants eye view of the soil and the general growing conditions in which it is situated.

So how does it achieve this you may be asking yourself?

The Easybloom plant sensor was developed by a team of botanists and horticulturists based in San Francisco by the Plantsense Inc. It is designed to measure four specific areas which are vital for a plants healthy growth and these are.

Light Conditions
Soil Moisture
Temperature
Humidity Of Atmosphere.

If any of these conditions are not right for your plant, chances are it will never reach its full potential.

So What Do I Need To Do To Make It Work?

Well the answer to this could not be easier. All you need to do is to push the plant sensor into the ground, the container or the pot your plant is going to be in, and leave it for a minimum of 24 hours. Thats pretty simple right?

After 24 hours or more take the plant sensor out of the soil and attach it to your computer via a USB connector. The results of the conditions will be downloaded automatically to your Easybloom account and you will be able to check if the conditions are what your plant would require. You do not need to be some techno wizard either it is all laid out step by step. The data is only suitable for USA regions. The reason for this is that there is much data on specific zip code areas so you can be this precise with your requirements. But not only can this plant sensor analyze the climatic conditions to check for suitability, there is so much more that can be done via this items analysis.

The database also gives you a comprehensive list of all plants that are likely to thrive in your conditions. You can select the type of plant you would like to grow, you can select the colour the strain, the flowering season etc, basically really narrowing down your requirements. The data collected from your plant sensor will inform you if the chosen plant is likely to thrive in your conditions, and if not, what you can do to improve the conditions and ultimately the plants chances of success. There are over 5000 plants listed on the database so you will have plenty of choice. You will be able to choose plants to thrive in every area of your home and garden by placing the plant sensor in different locations and gathering individual data from each area. You can also keep a full inventory of your own plants at the present time and into the future.

So no longer will you have to wonder if a corner of the yard is too dark, or if the conditions are too cold, or is the soil too dry? None of these issues need ever be a worry again once you have a plant sensor in your possession there will be no excuse for not keeping your plants, both indoor and outdoor, looking fit and healthy for many years to come. In addition you can keep a record of your gardening expertise forever and look back with fond memories over your successes and hopefully not too many failures.

But be sure to take some before and after photographs to show everyone what a 'green thumb' you have now developed!

Have You Ever Encountered A Carnivorous Plant?


You've always hear of carnivorous animals, but what about plants? Sure, you may have seen the movies depicting an orchid snatching up a small human, but there's more truth to it than just Hollywood. There really are plants that eat animals. The most popular carnivorous plant is a Venus Fly Trap. Their way of trapping and digesting their prey makes you watch in awe and amazement for what mother nature has created. Venus Fly Traps are wonderful plants to behold, but they are rarely found in nature.

To be considered a carnivorous plant, it must attract, capture, kill and digest insects or other animal life. The Venus Fly Trap does this in a very unique way. It first attracts is prey by secreting a mucus that is sweet s to the insects. Once an insect lands on a leaf, hair like sensors that detect motion inside its mouth must be triggered. After one sensor is moved, the trap gets poised to snap shut. After a second sensor is hit, it snaps shut! Their jaws-of-death move with lightning fast speed to trap the unlucky bug that lands on one of the plant's sweet pads. There is a two-hit requirement that keeps a Venus Fly Trap from closing on water, wind, or a still object such as a leaf. This is a key part of its survival because once the plant snaps shut it takes approximately 12 hours for it to open completely back up, thus making it incapable of getting food during that period.

The Venus Fly Trap will live between 10 and 11 years in proper conditions. They are native to the bogs and swamplands of North and South Carolina. They live in wet sandy and peaty soils that lack nutrition, so catching insects provides the nitrogen for protein formation that the soil cannot. Contrary to popular belief, they are not a tropical plant and can tolerate mild winters by going through a period of dormancy.

Because these plants go through periods of dormancy and other special needs like keeping their soil damp when the humidity is low, they can be slightly more difficult to cultivate than your typical house plant. So when purchasing a Venus Fly Trap be sure to follow the directions and you can have a healthy carnivorous plant. This can be a great family pet that requires little effort and can be shipped right to your door through http://mycarnivore.com/, other internet sites, and occasionally can be found in local stores.

Wireless Electricity Monitoring and Control System With Monitoring Function of a Home Solar Plant


A home electricity energy monitor is an easy way to see how much electricity you're consuming - as you use it - and what it costs. It provides prompt, convenient feedback on electrical energy consumption. Some devices may also display cost of energy used, and estimates of greenhouse CO2 emissions in real time. It is also known as a "real time display". People who adopt home energy monitors tend to find that their energy usage drops by between 5 percent and 15 percent in the first year of using them. Various studies have shown such a reduction in home energy consumption.

A wireless smart electricity monitor is a device used to monitor electricity consumption, adopting the wireless technology. In a typical wireless electricity monitor configuration, a unit that measures energy output is connected to the electricity meter in a home meter box, and that unit transmits information about energy consumption wirelessly to a display unit. The display unit shows the amount of power being used, the cost of the power and the greenhouse gas emissions caused by the electricity being consumed. Some units also display other information such as ambient temperature and humidity.

Wireless electricity monitors are easier to use than wired electricity monitors because they allow users to place the display unit anywhere in their homes. This way, users can frequently check the amount of energy being used without having to walk to a meter or run wires through their homes. Wireless electricity monitors are usually battery-operated, though some units have direct current (DC) adapters that enable them to be plugged into wall power.

Most people who use a wireless electricity monitor do so to reduce energy consumption. Having a constant visual reminder of how much energy is being used at any given time, how much the energy costs and how much of an effect the energy use has on the environment can help people stay mindful of their energy use and remind them to turn off appliances when they aren't using them. The monitors can also be used to figure out how much energy particular machines and appliances are consuming so users can determine how they can best reduce their energy use.

Sometimes, a wireless electricity monitor only shows how much energy is currently being used, but many wireless electricity monitors also store usage data and enable users to review their daily, weekly and monthly energy use. This tracking ability can help users review how they're using electricity, stay motivated to continue using less electricity and develop strategies for reducing consumption. A wireless electricity monitor is not very expensive, and many users say they recoup the cost of the monitor in just a month or two by using less energy.

Some wireless electricity monitors also have the ability to connect to a personal computer. The transmitter unit can stream energy usage data to a device connected to the computer, usually through a universal serial bus (USB) port. Computer software that comes with the data receiver typically enables detailed electricity tracking and reporting.

More and more homeowners in the world have installed solar power system or wind micro generator in their homes to generate clean power, reduce the electricity consumption cost and protect the environment as well. Photovoltaic Solar Power is, in it's simplest definition, the energy created by converting solar energy into electricity using photovoltaic solar cells. Solar power cells are made out of materials known as semiconductors, usually silicon. A semiconductor has the properties of an insulator, but when exposed to light or heat is capable of conducting electricity.

The electricity energy monitoring and control system with home solar plant monitoring function works 2-way and is developed specially for households installed with home solar plant, providing a good solution for the home owners to monitor both the home electricity consumed in total and the energy produced by solar. Meanwhile, the system displays the balance between the consumption and production to the family members and provide wireless remote control of home electrical appliances when the family members want to respond to unsatisfactory balance data.

How the system works?

The clamp of one power transmitter is attached to the cable from your electricity meter. The current is then measured and transmitted wirelessly to a monitor with display screen that you can keep anywhere in your house. The clamp of the other power transmitter is attached to the cable from the solar power plant to measure its yield. In this case, the data for the consumption and solar production is attained respectively and the comparison is possible.

When the home electricity consumption is higher than the electricity production of home solar system or wind micro generator, the controller of the electricity control system provides an alarm warning, reminding the family members to act to reduce the power consumption.

The LCD screen of the controller display home power consumption data, production output by home solar system, balance data, cost data, history data. It also shows time and date.

The system supports up to 12pcs sensor plug sockets, that means it can wirelessly monitor and control up to twelve connected electrical appliances.

With this system, you can keep track of how your solar system is performing, how much money you are saving in electricity costs, and how much your system is benefiting the environment.

The wireless electricity monitoring and control system with Home Solar Plant monitoring function is consisted by 1pc controller with power adapter, 2pcs transmitters with sensor clamp, A number of sensor plug sockets and 1pc RJ45-USB data cable to provide computer link

* The controller receives data from the transmitters and sensor plug sockets, displays the real time and history information on its LCD screen and sends powering on/off instruction to the sensor plug sockets.

* 1pc of transmitter will be used to monitor the electricity output of the solar home plant, the other transmitter will be used to monitor the electricity consumption of the whole home.

* The sensor plug sockets detect the electricity consumption of connected electrical appliances. The sockets detect the energy consumption data and send it to the controller. The sockets can be controlled remotely and wirelessly by the controller to switch on/off the connected electrical appliances. One system can support up to 12pcs sensor sockets.

* The RJ45-USB data cable (available with software) serves to provide connection between the controller and the computer so that the user can view the real time data, the history data from the computer or remotely switch on/off electrical appliances.

We recommend you to view Sailwider's home solar monitoring system for more details.
