Systems and methods for converting and conveying garden events

Abstract

A platform may receive raw data from a remote system and may then applies various forms of analysis to convert the raw data into parameters of interest in a garden. These parameters include but are not limited to soil moisture, soil salinity, air temperature, soil temperature, and pH. The platform enables inexpensive and simple sensors to be deployed in the garden. The platform may also use other data, such as the data from a weather service, to predict actions that should be taken in the garden to provide optimal growing conditions.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for emulating in a first garden a desired set of garden parameters comprising a remote platform capable of:
 receiving a set of garden parameters based on one or more sensors, wherein the one or more sensors is capable of receiving timing instructions from the remote platform;   analyzing the garden parameters to determine the calibration of the one or more sensors;   adjusting the garden parameters based on the calibration of the one or more sensors;   determining timing instructions for the one or more sensors based on the garden parameters; and   sending the timing instructions to the one or more sensors.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the set of garden parameters include one or more measurements of soil moisture, soil salinity, soil temperature, soil pH, external temperature, external humidity, and light exposure at a first garden. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the set of garden parameters include one or more measurements of soil moisture, soil salinity, soil temperature, soil pH, external temperature, external humidity, and light exposure at a second garden. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the set of garden parameters includes both past and present measurements. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the set of garden parameters includes both past and present measurements. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein analyzing the garden parameters to determine the calibration of the one or more sensors further includes analyzing the garden parameters in relationship to weather data. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein determining the timing instructions for the one or more sensors based on the garden parameters further includes analyzing the garden parameters in relationship to weather data.
