Automated gardening controller
M2M forms the basis for elaborate control systems that involve monitoring remote sensors. To demonstrate that, we will build an automated gardening controller using M2M. This will involve monitoring the soil moisture and temperature of a garden, and controlling a water pump and a ventilation system.
