Plant Sensor is used for measuring soil moisture. It uses the soil moisture sensor module on NodeMCU ESP8266. The output is displayed using justgate on HTML5. Data exchange between the sensor and the HTML5 is performed over the Microgear Library. We need to install one Microgear on ESP8266 and another Microgear on HTML5.
