Really nice video and explanations. Would it be possible to change the idea so that a sensor wakes up the pico instead of checking every x minutes? I am planning on a mailbox sensor using a magnetic reed switch, which shall wake up the pico and send a signal once the mailbox was opened. That is why a time interval like in your case is not suitable for me.
I'm pretty sure that would be possible judging from the articles I read. I only used the time interval so I knew to check the plants exactly on the hour, rather than leaving it to chance that I would be walking by. BTW, I finally got my water monitor to be entirely solar powered, so that also might also be interesting in your case - th-cam.com/video/-UjNNdQtsy4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oiBHuTYb1v2Udm-Z

Nice work
Thank you. I'm testing it out now with solar cells to see if I can keep the watering monitor going independently.
