FEATURES:

• Measures soil moisture, light and temperature.

• It waters only at night.

• It doesn't water if temperature is below 4ºC.

• It waters depending on a preset value and a hysteresis.

• It takes measurements every hour, then microcontroller goes to deep sleep.

• If it irrigates, then checks moisture again after five minutes.

• Measurements are uploaded to thingspeak.com
