NETWORK ENABLED GARDENING WITH A REMOTELY CONTROLLABLE POSITIONING EXTENSION
First Claim
1. A watering apparatus, comprising:
- a weather-resistant housing encompassing a micro-processor, a communications circuitry;
a weather-resistant camera communicatively coupled with the weather resistant housing through the communications circuitry;
an input connector to direct a water through a channel partitioned from the weather resistant housing responsive to a signal from the microprocessor through a pressurize regulated valve; and
a flexible extension coupled with the weather-resistant housing to automatically transport the water directed through the partitioned channel to a desired location within a central view of a focused angle of the weather-resistant camera.

Abstract
A watering apparatus and associated methods and systems to enable networked gardening with a remotely controllable positioning extension are disclosed. In one embodiment, the watering apparatus includes a weather-resistant housing to encompass a micro-processor and a communications circuitry. In addition, the watering apparatus includes a weather-resistant camera communicatively coupled with the weather resistant housing through the communications circuitry. An input connector directs water through a partitioned channel from the weather-resistant housing responsive to a signal from the microprocessor through a pressure regulated valve. The watering apparatus is connected to a flexible extension coupled with the weather-resistant housing to automatically transport the water through the partitioned channel to a desired location within a central view of a focused angle of the weather-resistant camera. Further, the watering apparatus may be accessed through a mobile device through a network based on an access control policy configured by a user of the watering apparatus.
