My perennials always died because I watered them too little or too much, or put them somewhere too dark or too hot. Recently I vowed to keep my plants alive, so I turned to Arduino. I'd been looking ...

A new Kickstarter campaign has been launched this week by Richard Seymour to raise the funds he requires to create a NB-IoT BLE Gateway and Soil Sensor. Using an Arduino shield extension board ...

It’s not infrequent that we see the combination of moisture sensors and water pumps to automate plant maintenance. Each one has a unique take on the idea, though, and solves problems in ways that ...

Approximately 70% of the world’s available drinking water is used by agriculture. Therefore, it makes total sense to consider technology options for optimizing agricultural water use.
