As it is now, it simply measures light, temperature and soil conductivity as an indication of water content and gives recommendations as to how often to water and whether light and temp are appropriate for the plant based on their web database.  Unless that photo sensor measures UV/IR value of the light, it too is useless.  Your plant can sit under narrow spectrum bulbs with enough 'light' all day long and not maintain photosynthesis.  Crappy gadget, overpriced, buggy software, lack of useful features, limited data.  Two thumbs down.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[vector1]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 27th 2008 3:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on EasyBloom USB stake sensor now shipping, plants celebrate]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/27/easybloom-usb-stake-sensor-now-shipping-plants-celebrate/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/27/easybloom-usb-stake-sensor-now-shipping-plants-celebrate/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good analysis.  But I would add that it's a great idea, poorly implemented.  Add UV/IR measurement and pH measurement and I could combine my nerd passions with with my gardening passions.

So the web is fairly useful. It also keeps track of all the locations where you have placed it as well as your plants. It essentially becomes your go to place for your garden. <br><br>The light sensor (according to them) actually looks at the spectrum of light used by a plant. I did an experiment where I placed it in a room near a normal 75 watt light on all the time and it said it was a very deep shade location. So it is doing more than just brightness. <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ed]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 27th 2008 4:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on EasyBloom USB stake sensor now shipping, plants celebrate]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/27/easybloom-usb-stake-sensor-now-shipping-plants-celebrate/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/27/easybloom-usb-stake-sensor-now-shipping-plants-celebrate/</guid><description><![CDATA[How do you know their software's no good?

The sensor is very helpful in identifying problems with the way you are caring for your plants. I talked on the phone at length with one of their botanists, who told me that about 95% of plant mistakes are water or light related, so the measurements it takes are very useful! The web interface is really great, since it has a tiny software footprint relative to the information it serves up. I think it's a great product.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RalphU]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 27th 2008 4:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on EasyBloom USB stake sensor now shipping, plants celebrate]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/27/easybloom-usb-stake-sensor-now-shipping-plants-celebrate/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/27/easybloom-usb-stake-sensor-now-shipping-plants-celebrate/</guid><description><![CDATA[My USB shill sensor is getting a high reading from this post ^^^]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ChuChu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 27th 2008 4:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on EasyBloom USB stake sensor now shipping, plants celebrate]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/27/easybloom-usb-stake-sensor-now-shipping-plants-celebrate/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/27/easybloom-usb-stake-sensor-now-shipping-plants-celebrate/</guid><description><![CDATA[Next product in line: EasyButt.
