I'm thinking of cameras and wifi watering valves to control plants while working. Anyone use/try/using technology to help? Please chime in, what works what doesent. I know of a couple manufacturers of products but just curious.

Go to the Elk Grove meeting March 5th and you'll here tech at its best from Steve Daletas.

Its about as far for you as me and I'm making the drive;)

Chris,should be real simple once its setup though,it would come in handy on warm days when you might not be around the patch

Here's what I was looking at:

Edyn.com
Skydrop.com
Rachio.com

Just to name a few, all controlled by a smart phone, then add a camera that works with your phone and buy a moisture sensor and you are done. Just throwing around ideas.Expensive? yes it is on my budget but maybe worth it lol.
