You can also monitor your published data on ThingSpeak, as illustrated in the following screenshot:

ThingSpeak is an analytics platform that lets you aggregate data from your sensors. You can expand this project by creating a dashboard for all the sensors in your garden and remotely control valves from your dashboard. Platforms such as ThingSpeak enable scaling from one sensor to an array of sensors and actuators.
