Problem: 

Watering plants have been a problem for my mom. The irrigation system is timed, which means the system will sprinkle water regardless of the soil's moisture level. The big problem with this is that a lot of water can be wasted, even when the soil might be wet already, and that watering can be lacking when the soils are dry. The system needs to be much smarter, while not complicated to employ. According to the client, my mom, the system is best if it can be automatic, because she can be away for a long period of time.
