Inference Pipeline
Sensor Fusion
FLIR Lepton 3.5 provides leaf surface temperature delta. BME688 provides ambient temperature, humidity, pressure, and quad-gas resistance. Time-of-day and season are appended to the feature vector.
Feature Extraction
12 real-time features are normalised and packed into an INT8 input tensor: VPD, leaf temp delta, gas resistance, pressure trend, humidity trend, light proxy, species ID, time-of-day, day-of-year, and 3 rolling averages.
NTE™ Neural Network Inference
The INT8 quantized neural network (ARM Cortex-M4 NPU) runs inference in under 8ms, classifying the input into one of 64 emotional state classes with a confidence score.
Speech Template Selection
The top-confidence emotional state class selects a language-appropriate speech template from a library of 20–40 curated human-written utterances per language per emotional class.
WaveNet-Lite Synthesis
The selected template text is synthesised into 44.1kHz audio using our on-device WaveNet-Lite voice model. Personality modulation (warmth, pitch, cadence) is applied per plant profile.

Sample Emotional States
Photosynthetic Joy 🌿
Triggered by: Optimal VPD + bright light + root zone healthy
"My leaves are catching the light perfectly right now. I feel alive."
Transpiration Fatigue 🌡️
Triggered by: VPD > 1.6 kPa, leaf temp elevated +1.2°C
"The air feels very dry today. My stomata are beginning to close."
Gentle Thirst 💧
Triggered by: Substrate dry > 80%, gas resistance rising
"I'm beginning to draw down my reserves. Water would be welcome."
Root Exploration Mode 🪴
Triggered by: Root zone temp optimal, substrate recently watered
"My roots are very active today. I can feel myself reaching further."
Morning Awakening ☀️
Triggered by: Light intensity rising after dark period
"The light is returning. I'm beginning the day's work."
Stormy Rest 🌧️
Triggered by: Atmospheric pressure drop + low light
"Something in the air has shifted. I'm conserving my energy today."
