WiFi Controllers
Smart Wi-Fi controllers (also called smart irrigation controllers) are one of the most popular upgrades we install for residential sprinkler systems in the New Castle, Delaware area. They replace your old manual or basic timer with intelligent technology that automatically optimizes watering—saving water, reducing your bill, and keeping your lawn healthier with less effort.
Key Benefits
Significant Water Savings — These controllers use real-time local weather data (rain forecasts, temperature, humidity, wind) to skip or shorten watering cycles. Homeowners typically see **20-50% reductions** in outdoor water use, often 30% on average, which translates to lower utility bills and helps comply with any local watering restrictions.
Convenience & Remote Control — Manage your system from anywhere via a smartphone app. Start/stop watering, adjust schedules, or check status while on vacation—no need to be home.
Healthier Lawn & Plants — Prevents overwatering (which causes runoff, fungus, or shallow roots) and underwatering during hot spells. Many models use evapotranspiration (ET) data and cycle/soak features to deliver water deeply without waste.
Leak & Flow Monitoring — Detect unusual water use and send alerts to prevent costly damage.
Smart Home Integration — Works with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit (depending on model) for voice control.
Top Features We Commonly Install
Weather-Based Scheduling — Pulls hyper-local forecasts to adjust automatically—no manual tweaks needed for rain, heat waves, or seasonal changes.
App-Based Management — Intuitive apps let you set custom zones, view usage reports, and get notifications.
Zone-Specific Customization — Tailor watering for sunny vs. shady areas, lawn vs. beds, or different soil types.
Freeze/Rain Delay — Pauses during cold snaps or rain (pairs great with separate sensors if desired).
Easy Retrofit — Most connect to your existing wiring and valves—minimal disruption during upgrade.
Compatibility check, installation, wiring, app setup, and programming tailored to your yard. It usually takes just a few hours and integrates seamlessly with your current sprinkler heads and zones.
