Smart technology has been taking over various parts of people's homes, from lighting to automatic gates, and now gives you the ability to control your irrigation from your phone. It is no secret that adequate hydration is vital in keeping your plants healthy and thriving. The ability to control your irrigation from your phone will allow you to manage how your irrigation system works even when you are away from home. This technology becomes more significant when the unpredictability of the weather is factored in, so you can adjust how your irrigation system works on unexpected rainy days.

One of the most striking advantages of having a smart Wi-Fi irrigation control like the Hunter Hydrawise system that we use is its ability to send reports to your irrigation team. Discover how Wi-Fi irrigation control can help your lawn in Calgary, Airdrie, Chestermere, AB and nearby areas.

Adjust how your irrigation system works based on current weather data.

One of the many benefits you can get from smart irrigation control is reduced water consumption. Installing a smart Wi-Fi irrigation control system such as the one we use — Hunter Hydrawise — will reduce your water bill by about 50%. Hydrawise gets accurate, current weather data and past forecasts from the internet so it can adjust how much water your irrigation system uses on your lawn. The Hydrawise system accomplishes this through the Predictive Watering system, saving water and money.

Use your phone to control your irrigation system whenever and wherever.

Whether you do not stay at home a lot or you want to take more control of how your property operates, having an irrigation system that you can manage on your phone is definitely something to take advantage of. It's no secret how maintaining a vibrant lawn is hard work, but thanks to smart technology, you can put in that work whenever and wherever you are.

The Hydrawise smart irrigation control allows you to turn your irrigation system on and off from your phone. You can also change the timing and zones on your irrigation system even when you are at work. More importantly, Hydrawise's technology allows your irrigation team to receive reports and access them whenever necessary. This way, you can understand how your irrigation system works and how much water your lawn consumes.

Hydrawise also allows you to control your irrigation system through a touch screen on the panel whenever your internet is down.

Be alerted when there are problems with your irrigation system.

A smart irrigation controller will alert you on your phone whenever there are leaks or broken pipes in your irrigation system. It also monitors how your piping system works. Early detection of issues with pipes and timers allows you to resolve the problems quickly and keeps your irrigation system functioning properly, preventing water waste and lowering your water bill. This technology also helps your irrigation team members provide better service and maintenance for your irrigation system because they will have the information at hand.
