The smart home, in which networked devices ensure quality of life and more time, has already become a reality in many households. But automation has long since reached the garden. In the following article we will show you how modern technology in the garden means you don't have to invest as much time and effort.
Garden maintenance becomes easy with a Smart Garden System
What can the systems do?
Complete systems are available from various suppliers. They usually consist of the following modules:
- waterproof WiFi repeater,
- mower robot,
- Irrigation system.(32.95€)
The system uses its own gateway in the home network, which you can use to connect the individual components to one another and to a corresponding app. Only the gateway is directly connected to the electricity, the other modules are equipped with batteries or solar cells.
For example, you can use the app to set watering times and cycles. A water control system that measures soil moisture, temperature and light intensity ensures optimal water supply. The values are visible in the app, so you can adjust the amount of water and the duration of the watering to the weather conditions.
Does the lawn need to be mowed? In the Smart Garden, you can regularly send the robotic lawnmower on tour, even on vacation.
Control via app
With some systems, you can have a map show you which areas have already been mowed. The device can also be addressed when you are out and about, for example if you want certain areas of the garden to be mowed in a targeted manner.
Intelligent irrigation systems regularly measure the soil moisture and start watering if it falls below a preset value. Depending on the season, you can easily make adjustments yourself using your smartphone. Since the collected data is displayed over the course of several days, you can see at any time how the water supply for lawns or beds is. Watering with a can or hose is not possible so precisely tailored to the plants. In addition, the flow rate of fountain and stream pumps can be regulated.
tips
You can already expand some systems with the garden lighting module and thus set atmospheric lighting accents in your garden as soon as the sun goes down.
