# Notes
First prototype has a ESP8266[0][1] strapped on a soil moisture sensor [2]. The the small form factor, easily flash-able firware and gpio pins made the ESP8266 a great fit for the task. The main focus is the try transmit the soil moisture of a plant to an elasticsearch endpoint. Kibana is used to visialize the time since laste watered compared to the soil moisture.

Deepsleep ### Deepsleep
If the code execution takes 100ms right before entering deepsleep there will be no time to connect and upload any new files to the chip. Remember to either have a your program check if a known digital pin is set to high which can act as a cutoff of main program execution by placing a jumper between power* and the known pin. Another way to allow a way of still interfacing with the board is by using machine.Timer[5][6] to create a callback to main function, all while giving us a window to interface or stop execution, delayed by a set interval e.g. 3 seconds.
