PLANT SITTER
Like a digital green thumb, WiFi-enabled sensor Edyn measures the soil around your precious plants, logging their light, temperature, moisture and nutrition ($99.99 at Edyn.com). That data is then shared with its associated app to generate custom care recommendations for even the most finicky ficus. Edyn can also suggest the perfect plants and vegetables to grow in your backyard. The gadget’s origins are impressive — the concept is based on founder Jason Aramburu’s years of working on sustainable farming in Africa and Central America.
