the watering habits of home gardeners affect the amount of available supplemental irrigation water and cost savings using a typical 55-gal rain barrel. Materials and methods Daily rainfall from 1981 to 2012 (1 May to 15 Oct.) for Knoxville, TN, was
able to understand the vast amount of collected data. Next generation WSN systems need to help the user understand the data and make the data actionable. One way to make the data actionable is to control irrigation. At the simplest level, users can look
-site and plant production conditions to automatically output daily irrigation run times for each irrigation zone created by the user. Hourly weather data are uploaded to the user’s account on the server using a Java agent residing on a host computer
” ( Salmon et al., 2006 ). Following these principles, we sought to identify the benefits home irrigation users believe their landscape provides to guide future social marketing campaigns to change landscape management behaviors. The perceived value people

research, home gardens, lawns, and small farms. Hardware We constructed a fully automated sensor-based irrigation system controlled by a microcontroller (Uno R3, Arduino) ( Table 1 , Fig. 1A ) with a secure digital (SD) shield and built-in real-time clock
