😟 @smartplant/stress

Detects compound and chronic stress patterns across metrics and time.

A plugin for smartplant — a bridge between AI and plants.

Install

npm install smartplant @smartplant/stress

Use

import { createPlant } from 'smartplant'
import stress from '@smartplant/stress'

const plant = await createPlant( {
  name    : 'Ivy',
  species : 'Monstera deliciosa',
  sensor  : 'mock',                  // no hardware needed
  ai      : { provider : 'ollama' }, // or gemini / openai / claude / grok
} )

await plant.use( stress )
await plant.read()

const result = await plant.plugin( 'stress' ).detectStress( { symptoms : 'yellowing lower leaves' } )
console.log( result.advice, result.emoji )

API

detectStress( input? )

Returns { advice, emoji, severity, stressed, stressType, causes }.

input is optional; anything you pass is handed to the AI as extra context alongside the plant's readings, trends and care history.

If the AI is unreachable or unconfigured, the call returns the deterministic offline result rather than throwing.

Events

• Listens to plant:stressed, emits stress:detected.

Different from Alerts

alerts fires on a single metric breaching its band. stress looks for the combinations that damage a plant even when no single reading looks alarming — high heat with low soil moisture, for instance.

Chronic strain

plant.plugin( 'stress' ).chronicScore()  // 0.42 = 42% of the last 48h spent below comfort

Test

npm test

Runs against the mock sensor and mock AI provider — no hardware, no API key, no network.
