How does it differentiate low water demand succulents from high water plants?
Settings in the firmware. If OP was smart they would call a config file that they can then update as they go along, but if it’s a simple interface that may not be necessary
A seperate config file wasn't used, but there is a controller able to change the config.

A custom soil moisture sensor was used.
