There are many smart home appliances being displayed at the CES in the coming year however honestly, I’m most intrigued about the idea of automated lawn maintenance. It’s good news for me (and my neglected garden) there are two options: Moen and Rachio are releasing smart irrigation products that allow you to remotely regulate watering locations and frequency within your yard and help keep your plants healthy and reduce the amount of water wasted. The only thing is that one is actually required to have a costly irrigation system.
In the beginning, Moen expanded the Smart Water Network — the system of devices specifically designed to manage and monitor the use of water — by introducing an introduction of a smart Sprinkler Controller as well as smart wireless soil Sensors. Moen states they can install the Smart Sprinkler Controller to fit any existing irrigation system in just 30 minutes, with no mention of compatibility limitations. Unfortunately, the product does not appear to be Matter compatible, however, Moen has told the Verge that it’s connected to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Users can track water consumption and estimate savings, as well as establish custom irrigation schedules. They can also enable seasonal features like weather skip that uses the local climate to turn off the sprinklers if rain is forecast for the region. It’s worth noting that many irrigation systems have similar features however, Moen’s Smart Sprinkler Controller is unique in that the Moen Smart Sprinkler Controller can be controlled and controlled via the smartphone app, not only the device itself like the devices available from Orbit as well as Rachio.

It’s available in eight- and 16-zone versions that permit you to control different areas of your garden on an individual basis (depending on the irrigation system you use) when you have plants with different watering needs. Prices of the Smart Sprinkler Controller start at $179.99.
Although I’d like to be a green-fingered goddess, I am not great at keeping plants healthy and alive. I’m apathetic with my watering practices and seldom get it right. of the things they require which is why I’ve set my eye at the Moen Smart Wireless Soil Sensors. They are able to identify precise soil moisture levels and temperature levels that range between one to five inches. They transmit this data to the Smart Sprinkler Controller to adjust automatically the schedule of watering for areas in which more or less moisture is needed, thus reducing water usage and helping keep your plants in good health.
