| Abstract/Contents: | "Smart controllers for residential end users have been available for over 20 years. Originally these controllers either used on site climate sensors or communicated via signal service providers (such as pager technology) to determine local evapotranspiration or plant water requirements. As technology in general has evolved over the last 20 years, so have residential smart irrigation controllers. Many manufacturers now market WiFi based irrigation controllers than can incorporate data from a growing number of weather networks to manage local irrigation needs. In 2017 a study was begun to evaluate the effectiveness of six commercially available wifi based irrigation controllers. Controllers were programmed to irrigate the same type of landscapes and bench tested simultaneously from the summer through the fall and winter of 2017. This paper compares controller performance and hopes to guide end users to selecting a wifi based controller." |
