Discover the advantages of an automatic garden irrigation system

Maintaining a healthy garden is more important than you might expect. Sure, a lush green garden looks beautiful, but healthy green spaces also have some practical characteristics:

Trees and plants generate clean air, but they also have a positive impact on your mood as green spaces help reduce stress.

An automatic garden irrigation system is a technology-driven watering solution that delivers the right amount of water to your lawn and garden plants at scheduled times without manual intervention. These systems use timers, sensors, and smart controls to ensure efficient irrigation. Unlike traditional manual watering, an automatic system minimizes water wastage, adapts to weather conditions, and provides consistent moisture levels to the different kinds of plants and soil.

Get the most out of your smart irrigation system with a professionally installed KNX setup.

Your smart irrigation system helps reduce water wastage. How? The system works with flexible watering schedules. Smart sensors can adjust the programmed watering schedules based on soil moisture and weather conditions, making sure there is no excessive water usage during rainy periods.

By making your garden smart, you can lower water bills and create a more eco-friendly home. Connect your automatic watering system to a rain tank to optimally benefit from natural water resources, and lower your water bills even more.

Link your garden easily to your smart home setup with KNX. This comes in handy when you want to intervene with the watering schedule, either through your smart app or with a voice command to your smart assistant. The connection also allows for remotely controlling your garden. This way you can make sure your garden is taken care of when you’re on vacation for longer periods of time.

If you have a weather station connected to your smart home, you can take it even further. This device can very accurately predict the expected weather conditions for your neighborhood, and steering your smart irrigation system accordingly. For example, when there’s wind predicted from the west, the weather station will adjust the aiming direction of your sprinklers in order to keep an optimal coverage.

Popular types of automatic garden irrigation systems include:

• Drip irrigation: Delivers water directly to plant roots, reducing evaporation and runoff.

• Sprinkler system: Covers larger areas efficiently, simulating natural rainfall.

• Soaker hoses: Slowly release water along the length of the hose, ideal for flower beds and vegetable gardens.
