Perfect accessories for your irrigation system
With suitable sensors, you can make your automatic irrigation system even more convenient and responsive to actual watering needs. Instead of relying solely on fixed watering schedules, additional information about rainfall, soil moisture or weather conditions can be taken into account, depending on the system. This allows your garden irrigation to adapt more effectively to actual conditions.
Sensors can easily be added to many irrigation controllers, making them a practical upgrade for existing systems as well. When choosing a sensor, make sure that it is compatible with your irrigation controller. This allows you to make your lawn irrigation, drip irrigation and micro irrigation smarter step by step.
Rain sensors to prevent unnecessary watering
A rain sensor detects rainfall and, when used with a compatible irrigation controller, can temporarily suspend scheduled watering. If your garden has already received sufficient rainfall, pop-up rotors and other irrigation zones do not need to operate unnecessarily. This saves water and prevents unnecessary irrigation.
Rain sensors are a simple way to enhance an automatic garden irrigation system. Depending on the model, the sensor can be connected to the irrigation controller by cable or wirelessly. Once installed, the sensor works automatically with your irrigation controller, so you do not have to manually interrupt watering every time it rains.
Soil moisture sensors
Soil moisture sensors take the condition of the soil into account when controlling irrigation. Depending on the system, the existing soil moisture level is measured and used to determine whether watering is necessary. This is particularly useful because water requirements depend not only on a fixed schedule but also on the soil, plants and weather conditions.
A soil moisture sensor can be a useful addition for lawns, garden beds and other planted areas. In combination with a suitable irrigation controller, you can adapt your automatic irrigation system more precisely to actual watering needs. With the right components, you can also install the system yourself and expand it later if required.
Weather stations for smart irrigation
Depending on the irrigation system, weather stations allow watering to be adapted even more precisely to current weather conditions. Different weather data can be measured or taken into account by the irrigation controller, depending on the model. This allows a smart irrigation system to adjust its watering programmes more effectively to changing conditions in your garden.
Weather-based control can provide additional convenience, particularly for larger automatic irrigation systems. Combine a weather station, sensors and a compatible irrigation controller with your solenoid valves and irrigation zones. This allows you to build your own system and intelligently control the irrigation of lawns, garden beds, hedges and drip irrigation zones.
