A smart controller can make an irrigation system easier to manage, but it cannot repair a broken valve, underground leak, damaged wire, or poorly adjusted sprinkler head. The best upgrades start with a mechanically healthy system.
What smart controllers can add
- Phone-based scheduling and manual operation
- Weather-aware watering adjustments
- Seasonal scheduling tools
- Notifications and easier program changes
Check compatibility first
Before replacing a controller, confirm the number of zones, power requirements, sensor wiring, master-valve or pump requirements, and condition of the existing field wiring.
Do not use technology to mask a repair problem
If a zone has low pressure or will not operate, solve that problem before expecting a new controller to improve watering performance.
