The client was looking for an app that could connect \u0026amp; communicate with hardware devices to water the home lawns. It was required that the system should be capable enough to water according to the weather conditions, also the system should have the ability to schedule watering and keep track of the hardware condition as well.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","solution_description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"background-color: transparent;\"\u003eSolutions / Responsibilities\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent;\"\u003eTiksom’s expert team was assigned to produce the best result and meet the client's expectations.
