Iro is a new smart controller for home sprinkler systems. It automatically changes your watering program based on a variety of variables which include weather, soil type, plant type, shade, slope and more.
Iro can replace any standard sprinkler controller and the Wi-Fi enabled unit will change from a dumb time based program and will proactively work to calculate an optimised watering schedule. The system learns over time the a lot more you use it and the makers pledge a greener lawn using less water.
The first production run of Iro will be available in spring 2014 with an introductory price of $199 for the 8 zone unit and $249 for the 16 zone. Check out the video below…
