Quick Start

Docker
Python
Raspberry Pi
# Grows everywhere. Installs everything. You're welcome. 🌱
$ docker compose up -d

Works on any machine. Cloud, VPS, laptop, or Raspberry Pi. < 200 MB RAM.

What It Does

Rules-First Engine

Most decisions are made by transparent YAML rules. No LLM tokens burned. You can read, edit, and understand every decision.

Weather-Aware

Automatically fetches weather data for your location. Skips watering when rain is expected. Alerts you during heatwaves.

Plant Lifecycle

Tracks your plant from seed to harvest. Knows when to transition stages. Provides stage-specific care instructions.

Daily Instructions

"Water today at 16:00." "Skip watering." "Fertilize in 3 days." "Harvest in 25 days." Clear, actionable, daily.

Secure by Default

LLM can suggest but never execute. All actions validated by rules. Execution limits enforced. Human override always available.

LLM Optional

When rules can't decide, optionally call an LLM. Small model first, large fallback. Zero tokens by default. JSON output only.
