Problem:
You are an engineer. You have to create a revolutionary greenhouse. How can you measure humidity, soil moisture, temperature and lighting in this greenhouse? To water plants, you have a water reserve and a valve. How can you measure the level of water in the tank? Moreover, you can light, ventilate, cool or heat this greenhouse. Don’t forget to secure and to power this greenhouse!
