Tasks and Care Reminders¶

Kamerplanter automatically creates tasks from workflows and care profiles and reminds you in time of all upcoming care activities. You retain full control at all times: tasks can be adjusted, recreated, and managed flexibly.

Prerequisites¶

• At least one plant or an active planting run
• Care profiles are suggested automatically but can also be configured manually

Tasks at a Glance¶

Find the task overview under Tasks in the navigation. The view shows:

• Due Today: Tasks that should be completed today
• Overdue: Tasks that have passed their due date (marked red)
• Next Week: Tasks for the next 7 days
• All Tasks: Complete list with filter and sort options

Each task displays: - Type (watering, fertilizing, inspection, harvest, etc.) - Associated plant(s) or planting run - Priority (Low / Normal / High / Critical) - Due date

Task Types¶

Kamerplanter distinguishes between manually created tasks and automatically generated tasks:

Automatically generated tasks are created by: - Watering schedule (based on configured interval or substrate moisture) - Care profile engine (reminders for fertilizing, repotting, cleaning) - Phase transitions (task "Check if ready for next phase") - Tank maintenance (water changes, calibrations) - IPM inspection plans (pest control) - Sensor failures ("Check sensor XY") - Seasonal triggers (frost protection, overwintering)

Manually creatable tasks: - Any single task (free text) - Tasks from workflow templates

Creating a Manual Task¶

Step 1: Add a New Task¶

Click Create Task (top right) in the task overview.

Step 2: Describe the Task¶

Step 3: Optional — Set a Reminder¶

Enable the reminder feature to receive a notification before the due date.

Step 4: Save¶

The task appears immediately in the task overview and in the calendar.

Marking a Task as Complete¶

Completing a Single Task¶

1. Open the task by clicking its title.
2. Click Mark as Complete.
3. Optional: enter a completion date and a note.
4. Confirm.

Ticking Off a Task from the List View¶

Click the checkmark icon next to a task in the list. The task is immediately marked as complete.

Using Workflow Templates¶

Workflow templates are predefined task packages for common care scenarios. Instantiating a template means the system creates a set of concrete tasks from the template for your plant or run.

Step 1: Select a Template¶

Navigate to Tasks → Workflow Templates. You will see predefined system templates:

Indoor templates: - Cannabis SOG (Sea of Green) - Cannabis SCROG (Screen of Green) - Nutrient Solution Change (hydroponics) - Probe Calibration

Houseplant templates: - Tropical Foliage Plant (Standard) - Orchid (Phalaenopsis) - Cactus / Succulent - Calathea / Maranta - Repotting Workflow - Overwintering Workflow

Outdoor templates: - Frost Protection Workflow - Hardening-Off Workflow (indoor → outdoor) - Spring Bed Preparation - Propagation Workflow - Season-End Workflow (autumn) - Rose Annual Care

Step 2: Apply Template to a Plant or Run¶

1. Click Apply Template next to the desired template.
2. Select the target plant(s) or planting run.
3. Choose a start date.
4. The system calculates all due dates automatically based on the template and growth phase.
5. Confirm — all tasks are created.

Creating Your Own Templates¶

When you use a sequence of tasks repeatedly:

1. Navigate to Tasks → Workflow Templates → New Template.
2. Give the template a name and description.
3. Add tasks (title, type, days from start).
4. Save. The template is now available for all your plants.

Care Profiles and Automatic Reminders¶

Care profiles define the basic care behaviour of a plant: how often to water? how often to fertilize? when to repot?

Viewing and Adjusting a Care Profile¶

1. Open a plant and switch to the Care tab.
2. The system automatically suggests a care profile based on the plant species.
3. Click Edit Profile to adjust the intervals.

Adjustable parameters: - Watering interval (days) or mode (based on substrate moisture) - Fertilization interval (weeks) - Repotting interval (months) - Seasonal multipliers (e.g. water less in winter)

Predefined Care Styles¶

Kamerplanter knows nine care styles, automatically derived from the plant family:

Filtering and Sorting Tasks¶

The task overview provides these filters:

• By Status: Open / Complete / Overdue
• By Type: Watering, Fertilizing, Inspection, Harvest, Training, Other
• By Plant or Run
• By Location
• By Priority
• By Tags

Click the filter button at the top of the list to show or hide the filter bar.
