## Development Guidelines
### Commit Strategy
- Complete one module at a time
- Test thoroughly before moving to next module
- Tag releases for each completed phase
### Testing Protocol
1. Unit test each module independently
2. Integration test with MQTT broker
3. Hardware-in-the-loop testing
4. 24-hour reliability test
5. Edge case validation
### Documentation Requirements
- Update README with each feature
- Document MQTT topics as implemented
- Include calibration procedures
- Add troubleshooting guides

## Current Sprint Focus
**Sprint Goal**: Complete Phase 2 Hardware Integration
1. Implement motor_control.c ← **CURRENT**
2. Test with actual pumps
3. Implement moisture_sensor.c
4. Calibrate sensors
5. Integration testing
**Definition of Done**:
- Code compiles without warnings
- Hardware responds to MQTT commands
- Sensor readings are accurate and stable
- No memory leaks (monitor heap)
- Documentation updated
---
## Risk Mitigation
### Technical Risks
- **Power supply issues**: Add capacitors, monitor voltage
- **Sensor corrosion**: Use capacitive sensors, implement sleep modes
- **Network reliability**: Implement offline mode with local rules
- **Flash wear**: Minimize NVS writes, implement wear leveling
### Mitigation Strategies
- Implement watchdog timers
- Add redundant sensors
- Local automation fallback
- Comprehensive error logging

## Success Metrics
- ✅ Reliable WiFi/MQTT connectivity
- ⏳ Accurate moisture readings (±5%)
- ⏳ Precise watering control
- ⏳ 30-day uptime without intervention
-< 100mA average power consumption
- OTA updates without service interruption
- Response time < 1 second for commands

## Next Actions
1. **Create motor_control.c/h** with TB6612FNG driver
2. **Wire up hardware** on breadboard
3. **Test pump control** via MQTT commands
4. **Implement safety features** (timeouts, limits)
5. **Document findings** and update plan
