Installing a smart irrigation system for your yard not only keeps your lawn looking beautiful but also keeps your water use down at a reasonable level. The smart control systems don't just water your lawn. It checks the rate of evaporation, soil conditions, and your local climate and adjusts the watering schedule accordingly.

Smart irrigation systems combine the modern technology of sprinklers with sprayer nozzles. There are two types of smart irrigation system technology: soil moisture and weather-based. Both systems can save you water, but there are differences between the two. Which one you go with depends on your needs.
Water-based irrigation is also known as ET-based technology. It includes a small on-site weather sensor or station that monitors conditions like rainfall, solar radiation, and temperature. The sensors are usually small and can be discreetly mounted on a fence post, building, or another place in your yard.
A water-based smart irrigation system is great for a residential location. They're known to lower water usage by around 20 to 25% when installed and calibrated properly.
A moisture-based irrigation system uses various sensors to monitor the moisture content of your soil. The system then adjusts the watering time based on the data it gathers.
Since smart sprinkler systems are both water and moisture-responsive, they'll reduce the amount of water used based on the weather. If you've experienced a lot of rainfall, you don't have to worry about your sprinkler system continuing to water your lawn unless you manually intervene. Since you'll be watering smartly, your monthly water bill will go down.
Since your lawn is getting the exact amount of water it needs, it'll become more healthy and thrive. This is a great benefit since damaged and dry grass takes a lot of water in order to recover.
Another advantage of a smart irrigation system is the fact the system receives local weather data. It can adjust your watering schedule even before it rains. Additionally, if it hasn't rained in a while, the smart system will know that too. No matter how the elements are affecting your lawn, your smart irrigation system will step up and ensure your lawn continues to look lush and green.
A smart irrigation system uses different metrics to figure out how quickly the water will evaporate from your lawn's soil. It'll then break up the watering times into different, smaller segments. This allows the water to soak in and reduces any run-off from occurring. The smart irrigation system can calculate how to fit in all of the watering segments before the sun comes up. It'll also change the schedule throughout the seasons.
