Terms of Use
Rules for using the private Plant Watch dashboard, ESP/device features, and watering controls.
1. Scope
These terms apply to use of Plant, a private plant monitoring and watering dashboard connected to sensors, ESP devices, water tank readings, and pump controls.
2. Private access
The dashboard is intended for authorized users only. Do not access, test, copy, modify, or control the system without permission from the website owner.
3. User responsibilities
- Keep login details and device API keys private.
- Use strong passwords and log out on shared devices.
- Check sensor readings before relying on automatic or manual watering.
- Do not send commands that could damage plants, devices, pumps, valves, wiring, furniture, or property.
- Report errors, unusual readings, or unsafe behavior to the website owner.
4. Watering and hardware control
The website can trigger or manage watering-related actions. Sensor data, tank readings, Wi-Fi status, ESP health, relays, pumps, valves, and power supplies can fail or report stale values.
Users must treat watering controls as assisted tools, not as a guarantee that plants or property are protected. Physical inspection remains important.
5. No emergency or safety-critical use
The dashboard is not designed for safety-critical, emergency, medical, industrial, or unattended high-risk use. Do not use it where a failure could cause serious harm, flooding, electrical danger, or major property damage.
6. Data and backups
Plant names, photos, logs, calibration data, sensor values, alerts, and settings may be stored by the website. Users should export backups before major changes, testing, migration, or deletion.
7. Availability
The website may be unavailable during hosting issues, maintenance, updates, power failures, internet problems, ESP firmware issues, or database errors. No permanent availability is promised.
8. Changes and updates
The website owner may change features, access rights, safety limits, account rules, and these terms when needed for security, reliability, legal compliance, or project development.
