Automated Garden Watering Esp8266

Arduino
The code for Esp8266 used in this project
/*
 *  This sketch demonstrates how to set up a simple HTTP-like server.
 *  The server will set a GPIO pin depending on the request
 *    http://server_ip/gpio/0 will set the GPIO2 low,
 *    http://server_ip/gpio/1 will set the GPIO2 high
 *  server_ip is the IP address of the ESP8266 module, will be 
 *  printed to Serial when the module is connected.
