This is a compact remix of The Stock Pot’s excellent Presence Sensing Planter. The original combines a larger planter, an Apollo MTR-1 presence sensor, and an addressable LED ring.
I loved the idea of hiding smart-home hardware inside something decorative, but I wanted a much smaller version that would fit on a bathroom vanity and use the Apollo Automation MSR-2.
The finished planter is approximately 106 × 106 × 111 mm. It retains the original ribbed appearance and illuminated rim, but most all of the functional interior geometry was redesigned.
Hardware notes
This version is specifically designed around:
Apollo Automation MSR-2 with case GPIO headers and Dupont wires
Low-profile 90-degree side USB-C cable
10 mm-wide, 5 V addressable LED strip - I used BTF lighting FCOB
Small succulent or similar plant
The MSR-2 installs from underneath and faces through the front of the planter. It is a TIGHT fit, and could use some revisioning, but I was able to squeeze the FCOB in and get the diffuser on, the MSR-2 AND the Dupont connectors all in super snug.
