More notes
A mac mini, or retired Mac Book, Mac Book Pro would be enough to run the Indigo server. The computer is always on running the system.
Video surveillance is 24/7 and saved on the HD for how ever many hours/days you want it to keep it. You can have it setup to sync with dropbox or mobile me incase something happens to the local drive.
There is weather system he is testing now, it sense the humidity and other factors out where the plants are and waters according to the plan you set. But uses modifiers to gauge how much water to use. Example, 100% on normal days, 30% on light rain days 0% on heavy rain days.
I have more notes, I’ll try to post this weekend
