What Makes Smart Irrigation Controllers Better Than the Basic Ones

Everything is as smart as a human nowadays. People are searching for the newest and the most innovative technologies so as to make the gadgets more users friendly, more reliable and more convenient for all the people who want a better life style to be followed. The technologies that are in the process of making at the moment are smart because the world is becoming smarter. Smart is the new phone, smart is the new television, smart is the new watch, smart is the new car then so is the new irrigation controllers that are becoming the biggest boon in the irrigation sector throughout the world.

But before we go on and see the factors that make the smart irrigation controllers better than the basic ones, we need to know that both the terms i.e. smart irrigation controller and basic irrigation controller mean.

Well, in general terms, smart irrigation controllers adapt all the watering schedules and all the water run times in an automated system. This is to specify that all the watering techniques meet all the different yet specific landscape needs. And so far, these technologies have made an impact of being able to improve the outdoor water usage efficiencies.

And there are the basic ones that are also known as the traditional way of irrigation controls that were adapted in the past few years and also are used at the moment in some of the parts in the world. Even though there are two types of basic irrigation systems, namely electric and hydraulic, these techniques has a number of faults that make the landscape worsen its situation.

Smart irrigation controllers can be termed better than basic because-

•    The smart irrigation systems like WaterMe wireless irrigation controllers are automated and the watering systems are given at the timings that are already being commanded to them. Whereas the basic controllers needs to be hand held only.
•    The smart irrigation systems shut it off whenever it rains, but the basic system lacks this quality and sometimes drowns the landscape.
•    One of the most important qualities that this smart system has is that, it automatically determines watering schedule based on the weather conditions. Whereas, the basic irrigation watering system cannot determine the weather and keeps on doing its work in heavy rainfalls too.
•    And by being smart in the irrigation field, these systems even help the environment to save 20% of water than compared to the basic irrigation control systems.
