Parrot Flower Power H2O

[Whitney16]

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this yet #CES 2015 : Flower Power H2O, the smart sensor that waters for your plant while you are away. | Parrot news
I have to say it's the coolest thing I've seen in awhile. I just wonder how useful it would be compared to other methods of irrigation

I am looking for a reliable watering system that could self water the garden when I'm away on a long trip. Presently, I am using a drip water from a tank on a timer. I should be able to get it "about" right, but the moisture reader and app for remote control is really neat on the parrot system.
