Is this really worth investing though? I've been working on an Arduino based garden automator for the past few months and one of the things I'd like to see is some higher-level automation. There are soil moisture sensors that can be added so now you no longer need to 'schedule' it, it will just happen. Add a real time clock and you can make sure watering only occurs in the morning to avoid unnecessary evaporation. My initial opinion of this will be that of HarvestGeek (Which I'm a backer of) and other irrigation systems from Kickstarter: they fail to deliver or are never funded. (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1408853060/a-cloud-computing-based-sprinkler-controller http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1408853060/a-cloud-compu..., http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/22seeds/greenbox-smart-irrigation-for-everyone/ http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/22seeds/greenbox-smart-i..., http://harvestgeek.com/forums/forums/ask-your-questions/topics/when-where-will-harvestgeek-be-available http://harvestgeek.com/forums/forums/ask-your-questions/topi...). That being said, I need to hurry up with my project before the market becomes saturated.
