Eclipse, sets up the communication devices and sensors to communicate the meteorologic data
of gardens, fields and farms to the farmers. The data collected through soil temperature
and humidity sensors are evaluated at stations and the farmers are SMSed in case there is
an alarm situation, what is more the irrigation engines are switched on in case the
temperature and the humidity of the soil is out of the deisred ranges. Thus it is possible
to save on water. Furthermore, maximum efficiency is obtained, as the products are watered
just as much as they should be and equivalent quantities.
