Bitponics Web-Connected Sensors Help Your Indoor Garden Grow | Hydroponics | TechNewsDaily.com:
Not everyone has a backyard for growing a large garden. For people in cramped spaces — say, a New York City apartment — a hydroponic garden is a good way to grow plants without having a patch of ground. In fact, it doesn’t even use dirt. Instead, plants grow in a nutrient solution.

One benefit to the small space is that sensors can easily measure all the conditions, such as pH and light levels, to let you know if your garden is healthy. That's where Bitponics comes in. The company's eponymous product is a Web-connected device, about the size of a Wi-Fi router, that operates a suite of sensors and uploads data from them to an online service — as frequently as every five minutes."
