Abstract
A moisture monitoring system with internes of things devices. The system includes at least one irrigating device having a moisture sensor, a temperature sensor, a valve connected to a water source, a wireless transmitter that sends sensor information to a cloud server via a first internet-of-things establishing a first channel of communication, and a wireless receiver configured to receive valve actuation signals from the cloud server via a second internet-of-things device establishing a second channel of communication. A valve actuator opens the valve upon receiving an actuation signal via the second internet-of-things device. The duration of the valve remaining open and other parameters are adjustable by a user utilizing a user interface of the second internet-of-things device. The moisture monitoring system can be customized and applied to various use cases depending on the irrigation needs of the user.
