What is a smart irrigation controller?
A smart irrigation controller is a sprinkler controller that allows you to access your system settings through your smartphone. Traditional irrigation controllers operate on a preset schedule. The smart controller being offered automatically adjusts your watering schedule based the specific needs of your yard, localized weather data and more, so you only water when you need to. With features like rain skip, wind skip, freeze skip, saturation skip, and seasonal shift, your smart controller will maximize schedule efficiency for worry-free watering.
Offering discounted smart irrigation controllers to our residents is a water conservation strategy outlined in the City’s Integrated Water Resources Plan.
