Gone are the days when an oscillating sprinkler needed to be dragged around the yard to achieve even lawn irrigation. In-ground sprinkler systems make it easy and convenient to keep your lawn and plants healthy. Best of all, smart controllers for your sprinklers take all the guesswork out of the process. Below are some of the key benefits of upgrading to a sprinkler system with a smart controller.

3 Advantages of a Smart Controller for Your Lawn Irrigation System

1. Smartphone Controls

Smart home advancements also include lawn irrigation technology. Sprinkler smart controllers let you control the sprinkler through an app on your phone. Whether you’re on your couch or out of town, you can start and stop irrigation at any time, as long as you’re online.

2. Weather Sensors

If you prefer, you can even forget about lawn irrigation entirely and let the system handle sprinkling for you. The newest smart sprinklers let you input the size of your yard and the plants it contains; they then use a variety of metrics to calculate how quickly moisture will evaporate from the soil on your property. Your sprinklers will water automatically in short bursts to prevent runoff. The controller can even sense when it's raining and shut the sprinklers off automatically.

3. Water Conservation

Smart controller technology, improved irrigation, and weather awareness combine to provide enormous water savings. By upgrading to a smart sprinkler system, you’ll feel the benefits every month when you receive your reduced utility bill. With these savings in mind, you have more freedom to choose a comprehensive smart sprinkler system that makes your life more convenient.
