Parrot Flower Power is a first smart wireless sensor equipped with Bluetooth Smart technology. Flower Power connects to a smart phone to help maintain and grow plants, with a dedicated application developed in collaboration with international scientists.

In a pot or in open ground, Parrot Flower Power monitors and analyses four criteria that are crucial to plant growth: soil moisture, fertiliser, ambient temperature and light intensity.

You can pair single Parrot Flower Power sensors with individual plants, or several plants to a single sensor. In the case of multiple plants, Parrot Flower Power measures the soil parameters in a perimeter of 5 to 10cm around it, to help ensure that watering is distributed evenly and that the conditions of soil drainage, sunlight/sunshine and temperature are the same for all plants, like in a window box for example.

The data and details of each plant are stored in the flash memory of the Parrot Flower Power for up to 80 days and regularly transferred via Bluetooth Smart to a smartphone or tablet equipped with the free Flower Power app.

You can then consult the respective data and analysis easily on a single smartphone or tablet to better maintain your plants and receive alerts when action is needed.

The watering or the addition of fertiliser can also be adjusted, and you can find out if the location of your plants needs to be changed and be alerted to extreme temperatures

A botanical encyclopaedia
You can select the plant that needs to monitored from a library of more than 6000 plants, trees and vegetables (2000 species) compiled by a team of French, Dutch and American botanists. Via the app, you can access fact sheets: origin information, photos, maintenance needs and advice.
