Grass Smart Controller Features

Compelling Features

GrassSmart controllers save water by analyzing lawn soil condition at the grass root level rather than applying common estimation methods from a non-local area.
GrassSmart controllers operate with installed or new Sprinkler Timers and convert both into Smart Timers.
The controller continuously "learns" and tracks soil condition variations.
No set-up or adjustments are needed at the time of an installation or thereafter.
Two passive soil probes relay soil condition to the electronic processor.
GrassSmart controllers average soil condition data across an active watering zone.
Soil probe location is one inch below the soil surface, several feet away from the zone edges.
SoilSmart technology eliminates Sprinkler Timer periodic re-adjustments.

Main Features

An installed sprinkler system requires no changes to operate with GrassSmart controllers.
Soil condition is analyzed at the start and the end of each watering cycle.
Corresponding electrical parameters are stored into non-volatile memory.
G8 controllers learn automatically about soil density and modify watering accordingly.
Watering is inhibited at low temperatures.
The watering time is automatically extended by 25% at high temperatures to help reduce lawn brown spots during summer times.
Lawn fertilization influence is electronically compensated into watering decisions.
The automatic mode is maintained even during municipality's drought watering restrictions.
Rain water, absorbed by soil and lost due to gravitation, is automatically accounted into watering schedule
Watering stops when the soil is close to water saturation.
Watering stops when the available water is depleted by 50%.
Run-off is prevented by modifying watering schedule to match soil water absorption capability.
Controller stops watering if heavy wind carries water away from the lawn or if sprinklers are broken or directionally misadjusted.
Powered by 24VAC from a solenoid.
