Project Summary
A solution to sprinklers running in the rain, tomatoes lost in an early frost or dried flowers while on vacation. Full package will be affordable and easy to use, so everyone from the occational gardener to the green house master can benefit from it.Environmental sensors would collect data such as soil moisture, air humidity, temperature and sun readings. A sprinkler controller would be used to provide watering. The web based interface would provide control and detailed history as well as email alert messages when certain criteria are met.
