With the current global droughts owning a lawn, flower beds, or vegetable garden is a privilege. Over-watering them doesn't just wastewater, it also hurts plants. As seasons change the length and time you need to water plants changes. If this can be monitored throughout the year you can save money and water.
Experts estimate that today’s outdated sprinkler systems can waste as much as 50 percent of the average U.S. household’s outdoor water consumption due to evaporation or runoff. The arrival of the Internet of Things (IoT) enhances connectivity. Real-time soil moisture sensors, rain sensors, and wifi combine together to help make gardens smarter, allowing people to save water, energy, and reduce water bills.
An IoT enabled smart sprinkler controller which can be controlled with a mobile application provides greater visibility and automatically manages and schedules the sprinkling systems. The smart controller can work with existing sprinkler systems by simply replacing the old controller. This new smart sprinkler connects to the internet via your home Wifi and can be controlled from your iPhone, iPad, Android smartphone/tablet.
Some of the key advantages of this new smart system are:
- Control of your sprinkler system through your phone
- Customization of your water scheduling duration and frequency
- Increasing the watering at the dry spots of your lawn from your phone
- Automatically turn off sprinklers when rain is anticipated
- View real-time and historical data to understand your water usage pattern
By watering each area separately when it is required, your lawn gets the best amount of water to keep it healthy and green. At the same time, a significant part of the water is saved that is wasted by traditional sprinklers. Cloud-based software and the mobile-friendly intuitive app helps monitor and manage to water from your computer, smartphone, or tablet and helps you save money and the earth.
