Appointment

Xiaomi Youpin Flower Pot is an unusual flower pot that uses technology to care for plants. Its sensors are able to track moisture and soil fertility in real time. The gadget transfers all the collected data to the cloud service, where they are systematized and analyzed. If the indicators are far from ideal, the pot will inform the owner about it. In addition, there is a dedicated mobile application for managing the Xiaomi Flower Pot, which we will talk about a little later.

Complete set and design

The device is supplied in a white rectangular cardboard box. She got to us a little crumpled, but the insides did not suffer. All labels on the packaging are in English, which means that we have an international version of the gadget.

The package includes the flower pot itself, a pallet, a USB recharging cable and an instruction manual in Chinese and English.

The gadget is made of high quality ivory-colored matte plastic. Its smart filling is evidenced by three sensors located inside, with the help of which soil moisture and other parameters are analyzed.

There is an indicator light on the front of the pot to indicate the current state of the plant. It can flash in three colors: red and green are responsible for displaying the battery charge level, blue lights up when irrigation is needed, and yellow indicates low soil fertility.

Smartphone control

To make full use of all the functions of the Flower Pot, you need to install the Flower Care app on your smartphone. There is also a plug-in for the Mi Home smart home system, the main functions of which are the same as this program. Its use is justified in the event that you have other gadgets of the Xiaomi ecosystem in your home.

To get started, you need to set up a wireless connection between your smartphone and a flower pot. This is done in the same way as with any other Bluetooth device.

Then you need to select the name of the plant in the application. There are more than 3,200 of them in the database - yours will probably be found. Optimal conditions and care are also indicated there. If any of the parameters deviates greatly from the norm, the program will inform you about it.

Also in the application you can view detailed statistics for each of the measured parameters. And the most caring botanists will be able to keep a journal of their pet's growth: touching photographs and notes will illustrate all the way from a tiny sprout to a powerful tree on the windowsill.

Outcomes

The smart flower pot Xiaomi Youpin Flower Pot will come in handy for those who want to grow flowers, but do not know how to do it right. It makes the task easier: you simply enter the name of the plant and receive recommendations for caring for it.
