The smart Sensor Control Set from GARDENA allows fully automatic, optimum and on-demand watering of your garden. It consists of the smart Sensor, the smart Water Control and the smart Gateway. In combination with the free GARDENA smart App (iOS / Android) you can set individual watering times and measure moisture quickly and accurately. The compact and precise smart Sensor has an extra-large sensor zone and measures the moisture of the soil at the roots of the plants, exactly where you need it. The measured values such as the moisture level and the current ground temperature are sent via the Internet directly to the GARDENA smart App on your smartphone or tablet via smart Gateway. You can now monitor, activate and adjust your garden's irrigation system at any time, anywhere. The watering is operated via the smart Water Control, which is installed simply and directly on the garden tap and allows you to program various different schedules. Using the data collected by the sensor, you can now irrigate your garden efficiently and economically according to your needs. The intelligent irrigation system ensures that your lawn is only watered if the soil moisture measured by the smart Sensor falls below a certain value. This prevents the garden from being watered unnecessarily after long periods of rain. This does not only protect your garden, but also saves precious water. The smart Water Control can be switched on and off manually at the touch of a button. In the event of frost and excessively low temperatures, the smart App warns if smooth operation can no longer be guaranteed, you can even pause your watering schedule using the hibernation mode. The smart Sensor Control Set can be expanded at any time with additional devices from the GARDENA smart system and is ideally suited for supplementing with the Micro-Drip-System or the Sprinklersystem from GARDENA. The smart Sensor and the smart Water Control are powered by 2 or 3 AA batteries respectively, which allow wireless operation over a complete garden season. Never leave your garden behind. With an intelligent irrigation system and robotic lawnmower, your garden is taken care of, from anywhere.In order to use the GARDENA smart system app and the functionalities of your GARDENA smart gardening tool, an online registration and set up of a user account with GARDENA or our group of companies, the Husqvarna Group, is required.
