Is this solar-powered remote plant monitor the most sensor-packed gadget on the Internet of Things?
Judy Curtis / SIPR's insight:
Wolf and his startup, Arable, intend to market the Pulsepod device as a $500 replacement for $10,000 weather stations with $5000 net radiometers. They expect the first users will be agricultural researchers and specialty crop farmers eager to monitor microclimates and plant growth in order to predict both long term effects of the environment on plants and to make short term decisions, like when to water and when to harvest.

How do you think IoT is changing cities and society?
‘The IoT is creating a data culture by introducing the concept of measure, think, and then make a decision. If you’re the mayor of a city and decide to implement a congestion charge or restrict access to diesel vehicles but you cannot demonstrate the levels of pollution, citizens will think the decision came down to political or ideological reasons. But if you can back up the decision with data, then that’s working towards more transparency.’ - Alicia Asin, CEO & co-founder, Libelium
