The 'CloudRain' system has been created by Henry Bröker as a new solution for homeowners that will enable them to make their living space more efficient and eco-friendly with minimal additional effort. The device works by being hooked up to your existing irrigation system and connecting it to local weather data to offer watering only when there isn't rain in the forecast. This eliminates overwatering and also ensures that you don't need to worry about watering your garden when you're out of town or going about your busy schedule.
The 'CloudRain' system is a niche new product for the Internet of Things market that speaks to the need for more solutions that offer new ways to maintain better control over resource consumption and home care.
