RAIN Bird has launched its ESP-SMT Residential Smart Control System which combines site-specific data and in a simple-to-use tool.
According to the company, the unit provides weather-based control in addition to smart irrigation technology previously seen as impractical for most residential applications.
Rain Bird says the control system makes it possible for homeowners to maintain healthy landscapes with 30 to 70% less water.
The ESP-SMT is said to calculate factors such as sprinkler type, sun exposure, slope and plantings to decide whether to continue with the current irrigation schedule, suspend irrigation or adjust the schedule to apply more or less water as needed.
