Mother Nature Network says the smart garden sensor system is called Edyn. It is small in size, powered by solar energy, connected to wifi and controlled by a smartphone.

The sensor is plugged on the ground in the planting area. Here, it performs role control of soil conditions, humidity, temperature, light ... These data will then be sent directly to the user's phone.

Edinburgh is considered one of the smart garden tools that can be applied in the future. Thanks to the data collected from the sensor, the gardener or farmer can tailor care options, improve crop quality, increase productivity, or achieve other goals.

A sensor Edyn can cover an area of about 23m 2. The device can also be mounted indoors, provided the lighting is adequate. Edinburgh still works normally when exposed to the sun, rain or agricultural chemicals.

With the Edinburgh sensor, researchers believe that before reaching the goal of protecting the environment, understanding how environmental status is is an important step.
