| Folder | What it is |
|---|---|
PlantModule/ | The plant device: ESP32-C6 Zigbee end device (firmware to be written) and its KiCad carrier board |
Gateway/ | The box at home: Zigbee coordinator, Zigbee2MQTT, Mosquitto and the hub (devices, rules, alerts) and api (login, REST, web app hosting) services (to be written) |
App/ | Flutter app: the web UI served by the Gateway, later also a mobile app |
Each folder has a specs.md (design) and a readme.md. The system design, flows and decisions are in PROJECT.md.
State
Only the specifications, the carrier board and the Flutter app exist. The hub, the Zigbee firmware and the Zigbee2MQTT converter are still to be written; the plan and order of work are in PROJECT.md §9. The previous WiFi/MQTT implementation is in git history at commit eb97b07.

Questions
How big is the Carrier PCB?
It measures 62.5 × 58 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Carrier use?
36 parts, built around the 1N5819HW. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Carrier KiCad files?
From the Hansom17/MoistureController repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PlantModule/hardware/carrier.kicad_pcb and its schematic PlantModule/hardware/carrier.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Carrier design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Hansom17 before reusing the design.
