Abstract:
A moisture meter having a housing with a stake disposed at a lower end thereof. A moisture sensor and a temperature sensor disposed on the stake. The moisture meter includes a valve wherein a water source is removably secured thereto. The stake includes a channel between the valve and a tip of the stake, allowing liquid to flow therethrough. Alternatively, the valve can be mounted on a wall or adjacent to a water line, wherein the stake can be connected to valve by a water hose. A wireless transmitter is disposed within the sensor housing and can transmit the moisture and temperature readings from the moisture and temperature sensors to an external source. A wireless receiver is disposed within the valve housing in order to actuate the valve, allowing water to flow through the stake and into the ground, should the moisture and temperature readings reach a pre-set level.

Claim (Index 1):
A moisture meter, comprising:\n a housing having a stake disposed at a lower end thereof; a moisture sensor disposed on a perimeter of the stake configured to detect moisture in soil; a temperature sensor disposed on the perimeter of the stake configured to detect a temperature of the soil; a valve operably connected to a water source, wherein the water source is removably secured to the valve; a wireless transmitter disposed within the housing configured to send temperature and moisture information detected by the moisture sensor and the temperature sensor to an external source; a wireless receiver configured to actuate the valve allowing water to flow through the stake when the moisture and temperature sensors each detect a pre-set level.
