Thanks Werk - you have pointed me the right direction, i will do some digging and come back with more questions. One question - can the soil moisture data be logged to a database in the manner you describe ?

Yes, it can. It all depends on the PHP script running on the server, usually called by a cron job.
Cumulus can process and upload to your server a lot of custom defined files. Those files can have any data available through Cumulus webtags.
In attach is an example of the file I use for myself, then its just a matter of having on the server a PHP script called by a cronjob which reads the file and inserts the data on an SQL db/table.


Some time ago I gave a look at the Opensprinkler project, very interesting stuff.
Thanks for the link to ET info.
