A garden smart sensor is a quite popular device that measures factors such as soil moisture, light intensity, external temperature, and includes the soil moisture in the irrigation control system, using the smart App. We simply plant this kind of smart sensor into the ground, next to a plant, where it measures the outside temperature and the light intensity.
Irrigation systems save time, as they are designed to do our watering. New technology helps them know when and where the water is needed. A smart irrigation system collects information from sensors and sends predefined user orders to actuators, which make the water sprinkler to go off. Our main benefits of having it will be the remote control of the sprinkler system via smartphone app, an option of setting the schedules to water our garden automatically, adding various sensors (rain, soil wetness, etc.) to know better what our plants need, getting notifications and preventing errors like leakages, saving water, lower water bills and an option of a voice control to control the watering system. An irrigation control system may also be known as an irrigation controller, a stand-alone irrigation unit that controls our irrigation. It has built-in water saving features, including a sensor to adjust to the optimal sprinkler run time, based on the local weather conditions. Smart controllers help to provide a healthy, beautiful landscape while reducing water use.
