Honey I need Potato's, Peaches, Banana's in our Backyard: No Problem were covered

admin   Thu, 02 Feb 2017  MACHEENE | Report Abuse Its a new day, well another day in the wonderful world of technological evolution. The framework is quite simple the things we do are the same but it's just gotten a lot easier to do it, and that goes from dating to driving, and now from an phone app that you can get a loan for a house but that's neither here nor there. Let's take a look at what happens when all of this is done you got the wife from a dating app, the car is parked and driving itself, and the house has been purchased yes you got approved for your loan. The next phase is maintenance and the quintessential honey-do chore that you need to do is taking care of the green that never stops growing and that is not your pockets.

This little genius monitors and keeps track of the environmental conditions in your garden. If it’s been a scorching 90 degrees all day, Edyn wants you to know about it in case your plants need some extra TLC. The system also gets down and dirty. With a wireless sensor, Edyn creates tailor-made recommendations about which plants would do best in your garden based on your soil composition. Do you know how to do that yourself? If yes, you are an expert and we admire you.

The RainMachine happily takes command of your sprinkler system. And it can see the future. Using seven-day forecasts, the system uses real-time weather data to adjust your watering schedule. What RainMachine sees, you can see from your smartphone or tablet. This smart sprinkler system is desirable because it increases water efficiency. It helps you save water, which is important (I’m looking at you, California).
