Application Example
Remote watering of garden plants
Issue: The automated watering of delicate flowers is a challenge. If the soil is too dry the plants die but if the soil is too wet the incidence of damage by snails becomes unacceptable
Site: Germany where weather conditions are often unpredictable
Solution: soil moisture sensors have proven to be unreliable. Now the condition of the soil is monitored visually by a still camera which sends photography by email after a single sms command from e.g. a mobile phone. Another sms command switches a electromagnetic valve connected to the water mains then feeding a dripping hose when watering is required
