Hey everyone This is the start of my project. Right now, I’m working on a virtual environment on Wokwi using an ESP32 microcontroller to simulate a very rough outline of the automated plant life support before I touch any real hardware.The Setup: I’ve got an ESP32 wired up to a DHT22 Sensor along with three LED indicators: a purple Grow Light, a blue Water Pump, and a yellow Mister.The Climate : The code automatically starts going off in daytime mode, which keeps the Grow Light glowing. By clicking the weather sensor, I can manually drag the humidity sliders up and down. If the humidity drops below 65%, the ESP32 instantly triggers the Mister to bring the moisture back up. Once it hits 75%, it shuts it off safely.Water system: To test the Water Pump without an actual soil sensor plugged in yet, I wrote code that simulates the code as really dry. The second the simulation boots, the ESP32 detects the dry soil it gives a quick 3 second micro burst from the Water Pump to water the plant, and then turns off automatically to prevent flooding.This helps me understand all the core fundamental logic. Next up is taking these ideas out of wowki and sketching out the physical layout and component design for the actual enclosure
