Plant moisture monitor

ESP32-C3 + capacitive probe that lights an LED and pings Telegram when the soil drops below threshold.

PMM

Capacitive probes don't corrode like resistive ones. Calibration is two readings (dry and submerged); everything between is mapped 0–100. Deep-sleep wake every 30 minutes pushes battery life past three months on a 1200 mAh LiPo.
