Keeping plants healthy and properly watered can be a challenge whether you are an indoor plant lover, a hobby gardener, or running a commercial agriculture operation. That is why Apollo Automation developed the powerful duo of the Apollo PUMP-1 Fluid Pump and the PLT-1 Plant Sensor, a smart, integrated system designed to automate your watering and irrigation needs with precision, safety, and ease.
What is the Apollo PLT-1 Plant Sensor?
The PLT-1 is an advanced plant sensor that monitors soil moisture, temperature, and light levels to provide real-time data about your plant’s health. It is compact, reliable, and designed for continuous use both indoors and in agricultural settings. By tracking these key environmental factors, the PLT-1 helps you understand exactly when your plants need water, eliminating guesswork and preventing overwatering or underwatering.
What is the Apollo PUMP-1 Fluid Pump?
The PUMP-1 is a versatile, food-safe fluid pump powered by a smart ESP32-C6-MINI Wi-Fi controller. It pumps liquids efficiently with a flow rate up to 900 milliliters per minute and has been tested to pump water over 14 feet vertically and 33 feet horizontally. Its built-in ultrasonic fluid sensors detect water levels and automatically stop pumping when watering is complete or if the water supply runs dry, protecting your plants and system from damage.
