hey everybody it's been popper from the verge here at CES 2015 I'm checking out some new products from parrot the h2o and the parrot pop as my wife can tell you I have accidentally or perhaps intentionally murdered many a houseplant so these are the second and third in parrots line of plant care products the h2o is a sensor that goes into the soil it measures temperature it uses this little conductive section here to tell you what's going on inside the soil whether you have enough fertilizer it's got a light sensor up here that tells you if you're getting enough sunlight and also obviously whether or not getting enough water if you are not getting enough water you can press a button on your tablet on your phone and water your plant from home or from the road so the h2o is kind of the bare-bones version you can put in a regular pot you insert just a standard water bottle and it takes all the same sense or measurements and when you're ready you push a button on the app and boom it starts watering now the difference between that and the parrot pot is that in the parrot pot everything is self-contained so this has the light sensor the temperature the fertilizer and the moisture it works with the same app you can see here we're at about nine or ten percent of our optimal water 72 degrees points 1:5 sunlight and if I hit try watering water rises up comes out and four different plants they require different amounts of water and so you've got some different plants here in a section called my garden and they'll tell you not enough sunlight to be growing a lemon tree here sunlights okay for a ficus you know this is how much water you it should have how much fertilizer and you've got a little to-do list here where you can see you know what would be best for your various plants your sweet basil probably need some water your citrus lemon isn't getting enough sunlight here so maybe move it to a different spot so parent won't say exactly how much these products are going to cost but they will say that they're both going to be coming out this year the parent flowerpower which was the predecessor to these is available for amend $59 and if you want to see more awesome videos about technology from the near future I'm sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel
