Is there a way to set the watering feature in the app as self watering for specific plants, where app auto checks it for you?

Unfortunately no, I just check the water level when is shows up to be watered

I set my self watering plants on a custom schedule and check them when due. For example every 14 days, but you can start with lower time period if you think they’re gonna dry up sooner

There are so many variables with self watering planters that it would be impossible for the app to create a correct watering schedule. I use leca, and have selected that in the app. I just consider it a reminder to check the water level.
