PLANT FRIENDS MKII

NOTES
&
THOUGHTS

Congrats! Now you have your very own Plant Friends system!

A REMINDER ON SECURITY

After you have opened a port for the Plant Friends base station, remember to delete the admin.php file as it is now open to the outside world. There is no authentication/security for admin.php yet, but that is something I'll be adding in the future. For now, delete this file after you are done adding nodes to the database.

As for index.php that serves data to the app, there is no authentication either and anyone can access that page. However, this page only serves data and is not responsible for modifying anything.

KEEP ON TRUCKIN'

This is an ongoing project for me and I will update the source code and this tutorial as time progress. A kit is in the works along with other stuff so check back soon. :) If you have a project based on Plant Friends, I'd love to hear about it! Comments? Suggestions? Shoot me an email!

If you have questions or need help, I am active on the Plant Friends thread over at the Moteino / Lowpowerlab.com forums.

And the Plant Friends thread over at the Raspberry Pi forums.

Posting your question in those threads will be the best way to get help and will be informative for others too.

Have fun planting!
