The Pimoroni Grow Mini HAT for is a compact monitoring system, designed specifically for plant care. It will monitor your plant's growing conditions and display the information on the onboard 160x80 pixels screen, issue a call to action via an onboard buzzer, or perform an action via a connected external device such as a pump. This board is compatible with all .

The board features a screen, 4 x navigation buttons, a buzzer, light/distance sensor, 3 x connections to capacitive moisture sensors, I2C connections, and 3 x connectors for controlling 5V low current devices, such as; pumps, motors, valves, solenoids or lights. Included with the board are 3 x moisture sensors and 3 x 35cm moisture sensor cables.

Having three separate moisture sensors means that you can monitor moisture levels in three different pots at the same time. As the sensors are capacitive and not resistive, they are less prone to corrosion over time.

There is a that includes code examples for each part of the board. Additionally, there is code for a full plant monitoring application, so you can get up and running straight away. Included within the application is a basic UI so you can alter settings from the Grow HAT. Full instructions on how to get up and running can be found in the . Alternatively, you can opt for the super fast method, via the single-line installer below.
