Cool!! Remotely accessible sensor for managing irrigation and other stuff. The device is sold by a Switzerland-based company called Koubachi. Too expensive for house plants but could be great for agricultural applications. http://allthingsd.com/20130613/high-tech-help-for-the-green-thumb-challenged/.
The review focuses on the remote (mobile) accessibility of the device, which is amazing, but doesn’t talk at all about how accurate the internal sensors are. If anyone has this information please leave a comment. I also will try to check on this.

I thought the visitors to pragwater.com would find this link on drip irrigation tips useful.
In this presentation a simple, web-based method for scheduling irrigation is presented. The presentation was given at the 8th Annual NOAA CREST Symposium, The City College of City University of New York, NY, June 5-6, 2013.
Solar radiation data can be downloaded for the Northern Caribbean Region. Daily, monthly and annual data are available.
I am happy to announce that our new book will be released soon.
