A healthy lawn takes time, dedication, and water, of course. Although a traditional sprinkler system keeps grass hydrated, it may waste water by turning on when it’s unneeded—during a rainstorm, for example. Irrigation rain sensors will stop sprinklers when it rains, but other smart alternatives will save water and improve the health of your lawn. Wi-Fi-enabled Hydrawise sprinkler systems not only sense the weather but also connect to mobile devices so you can control your network of sprinklers from any location. Here’s what you need to know about them.

Hyrdrawise Features

Weather Control

Hydrawise sprinklers are an automatic sprinkler system that connects to your mobile phone and Wi-Fi for access to the current weather forecast in your area. It then changes the set watering schedule based on what the weather looks like for the day. If the forecast shows that a rainstorm is coming, the system will suspend a watering session; then, if the day is going to be hot, it will increase watering sessions.

Watering Zones

The sprinkler system will also separate your lawn into zones. Standard zones are gardens, vegetable and floral, patios, and landscaping areas. You can label each of these zones and set up different watering schedules that suit the needs of each zone. 

Reports

Your system can also send you reports to keep you updated with how much water is used, saved, and how much water you have received in a particular period. It will also alert you if there is a maintenance issue, such as a broken pipe or a leak. 

Hydrawise Equipment

Hydrawise sprinklers use a touch-screen interface, two sensor inputs, the ability to connect to Wi-Fi, and a sealed case to protect the wiring of your system. The system can be configured to work without access to your Wi-Fi network, although you may lose phone alerts and weather updates. Use your phone, tablet, or computer for remote access to manage and monitor sprinkler activity and maintenance.
