The sensor comes in a battery or non battery version, with the non battery (USB C powered, 5V 1A)

The Apollo Automation PLT-1 is an ESP32-C3-based  indoor plant multisensor that measures soil moisture (capacitive), air temperature, humidity, LUX, and UV, which can be used with Home Assistant via ESPHome!

It also features an onboard piezo buzzer and addressable RGB LED. Soil temperature can be measured using the optional temperature probe add-on. The sensor comes in a battery or non-battery version, with the non-battery (USB-C powered, 5V 1A) version being significantly smaller - select an option before adding to your cart.

The PLT-1 uses a capacitive soil moisture sensor, which offers much better accuracy and durability compared to resistive sensors. Additionally, the ground contact portion is protected with a conformal coating, ensuring longevity and resistance to environmental factors.

Both versions of the PLT-1 come with a 3D printed case.

Note: The PLT-1B (battery version) does not include a battery or charger. You will need to source their own rechargeable 18650 batteries for the battery version, and a charger. Battery life is estimated at 6 months based on a quality rechargeable 18650 and the default sleep / wake settings.

Features

  • ESP32-C3-Mini based: ESPHome compatible, allowing plant monitoring in HomeAssistant
  • Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor with conformal coating: Accurate and durable, perfect for monitoring plant hydration
  • AHT20-F Air Temperature & Humidity Sensor: Dust-protected for reliable air condition tracking
  • LTR390 UV & LUX Sensor: Measures light and UV exposure, ensuring optimal lighting for plants
  • RGB LED: Customizable for notifications (e.g., watering alerts, light levels)
  • Piezo Buzzer: Provides audible alerts for important plant care events
  • Battery and Non-Battery Versions: Flexible power options to suit different setups and needs
  • Home Assistant Integration: Easily automate and monitor plant health through your smart home system
  • Can be used with an optional DS18B20 Waterproof Soil Temperature Probe: Monitors soil temperature with precision

    Use Cases

    • Automated Watering: With its capacitive soil moisture sensor, you can set up automations to water plants only when moisture levels drop below a certain threshold.
    • Optimising Sunlight Exposure: Use the LUX and UV sensors to monitor light levels, ensuring your plants get the right amount of sunlight. Automate window shades or grow lights based on current light conditions.
    • Temperature & Humidity Management: Track air temperature and humidity with the AHT20-F sensor, adjusting indoor climate controls (like fans, heaters, or humidifiers) to maintain ideal growing conditions.
    • Soil Temperature Monitoring: Use the optional waterproof soil temperature probe to monitor and control soil warmth for temperature-sensitive plants, especially in colder months.
    • Visual & Audio Alerts: The RGB LED can be programmed for visual notifications, such as turning red when soil is dry or green when conditions are optimal. The piezo buzzer can alert you if immediate action is needed.

    These are real nice looking industrial look, but bear in mind, they don't come with the shelves
    First, understand that you only get the structure, not the actual shelves. The structure is decorative, industrial. piping, which looks really cool., especially in my utility room. I'm gonna get some hardwood for the shelving, so I don't have a picture yet, but I will as soon as I get that. The frame is very stable and strong. So thumbs up on the stability, structure and quality. The directions are straightforward, and all the parts are there. It looks real nice in my utility room and will look real cool when I've got the shelving on there. It's definitely a good value for your money if you need more storage shelving.

    Perfect companion to other HBLYJS bracket systems — great aesthetic, versatility and functionality
    I’m already a fan of the HBLYJS wall bracket system that I used in my daughter’s room, so I wanted to try this floor-to-ceiling option from the same brand for a slightly different look. The two coordinate perfectly — same black iron finish, same industrial-farmhouse aesthetic — and provided nice cohesion. What makes this system stand out is the flexibility in how you mount it. You can rest the uprights on the floor or hang them from the ceiling depending on your space and what works best structurally. That's a rare option and makes it easy to fit into rooms where a standard wall-mount wouldn't work as cleanly. I chose to hang them from the ceiling, because I personally love that look. Just make sure you mount these into studs! Like the bracket set, planks aren't included, but picking your own wood lets you match stain color and cut boards to the exact length you need. The heavy-duty pipe construction feels solid and the vertical design makes great use of wall space without eating into floor space. I definitely recommend the HBLYJS wall bracket systems for the great aesthetic, storage, versatility and functionality they provide. I will likely be buying a few more sets soon.

    HBLYJS Industrial Pipe Shelving System
    This shelving system gave my room a cool industrial look. The metal brackets feel heavy-duty and very stable. Installation took a little time but wasn’t difficult. I like that I can choose my own wood planks for customization. It holds a good amount of weight without sagging. The black iron finish looks great against the wall. This was a solid DIY upgrade for my space.

    Easy storage, good holding power
    This industrial pipe shelving system is a very nice way to add DIY storage to any room. The parts come well protected and are easy to assemble. They come with all the hardware one needs to install, though I used my own wall anchors because I like the ones I use and I know they work very well. I also decided in the end not to use the support legs because they would have had the shelves too low when mounted from the ceiling. Instead, I took those off and flipped the frames over so nothing would get in there, and I'll probably get nipples and caps from the hardware store to finish off the bottoms. The frames are finished in black, and resemble old galvanized gas pipes. As previously mentioned, assembly is easy enough and they accommodate whatever width of shelf you want to put up, within a reasonable limit. I used 36" shelves because that's the space I had to work with. The fact that each flange has three screws, assuming this is installed correctly, it should be rock-solid. I know mine is. I installed this in our laundry room / craft room in order to get more storage space, because it is so very busy in there. Given one could purchase the parts needed to build one of these for less, it's still a good value for the money because then after you buy those parts you have to clean and paint them, as well as prepare the boards. All I had to do was assemble these, and then prepare the boards, which made my life easier and the time saved was well worth the little extra. They also look fantastic with natural-colored oiled pine. I recommend these racks for their aesthetic, ascetic appearance, and their ability to hold a good amount of weight and storage, and not to mention if they're installed like mine, they will hold rolled leather hides like nobody's business.
