Wio Terminal - Smart Indoor Harvesting Kit

The Wio Terminal – Smart Indoor Harvesting Kit is an all-in-one solution for building an intelligent, cloud-connected plant monitoring and care system. Designed for learners interested in IoT and smart automation, this kit includes sensors for temperature, humidity, light and moisture, a waterproof LED strip, a 6V mini water pump, and relay — all controlled by the Wio Terminal microcontroller.

Students can create automated watering systems, track environmental conditions, and trigger lighting effects based on sensor inputs. With the ability to integrate data into cloud platforms, the kit supports both remote monitoring and smart responses, making it ideal for real-world STEM applications.
