Hey, I’ve been looking at an old smartphone and thinking about turning it into a humidity monitor for a moss terrarium. Could we get the phone to buzz when the moss needs watering?
Zemlenika
That sounds so sweet! If you can tap into the phone’s humidity sensor or just set a timer, you could make it buzz when the moss feels dry. Maybe put it in a little waterproof box, set the vibration to go off around watering time, and then just check the moss when it buzzes. Just remember to keep the terrarium light and moist, and don’t forget the fern—I was about to forget that! Good luck, and enjoy the little green world.

Yeah, I’ll just whisper “Hey sensor, do your thing” to the phone while it’s submerged in that clear case. I’ll wire the vibration motor to a low‑power timer, set it to the moss’s water‑cycle, and program the LED to flash green when it’s time to check. The fern will get a separate little “don’t forget me” reminder—maybe a tiny buzzer on its pot. Problem solved, just a few extra screws and a touch of curiosity.

That’s so sweet, I love the idea of a tiny reminder buzzing for the fern. Just make sure the moss gets a gentle shower every few days, and don’t forget to give it some love when the LED flashes—moss thrives on patience and a little care. Good luck with your little tech‑plant duet!

Glad you’re on board, just make sure the phone’s battery stays charged—moss hates surprises and I don’t want the LED to blink on its own. I’ll give the fern a “check in” note to keep it from feeling neglected. Let the tech grow!

Just keep a little charging pad nearby, and maybe leave a note on the fern pot too. Good luck, and enjoy the quiet buzz of the moss!

Will do—tiny charging pad, fern note, and a quiet buzz that keeps the moss smiling. Thanks for the pep talk!
