How can I use Laravel's event system to send notifications to my houseplants?

While Laravel's event system is designed for application processes, not actual botany, you could create an IoT integration where Laravel events trigger physical actions. For example, you could dispatch a PlantNeedsWater event that communicates with a smart home hub via an API, activating automated watering systems or LED notifications on plant pots. You'd need to implement listeners that translate Laravel events to HTTP requests to your IoT devices, perhaps using Laravel's HTTP client or a package like Guzzle. This unusual application combines Laravel's powerful event broadcasting with physical computing to keep your plants properly hydrated while showcasing the framework's flexibility beyond traditional web applications.
