What does keep you plant healthy imply? What does the box do exactly?
The box monitors temp/humidity and soil moisture and Beeps/Flashes to inform that the plant needs maintenance.
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.
It's probably a soil moisture sensor. I suspect for succulents you would probably want to add a timer to the sensor, but it seems like something you could automate.
Yes.
A custom soil moisture sensor was used.
