I’m in the US. I have to replace my current irrigation controller and am looking for recommendations for a smart sprinkler/drip system controller.
I need to be able to pause/delay/stop the sprinkler before and during backyard events. Other than that I plan to have the timers set and let them do their thing.
@Terri_Baker, it is not SmartThings compatible but seems to be a nice solution and dirt cheap.
This has 8 zones, but you haven’t described how many zones do you have.
For SmartThings compatible sprinkler there are not so many options.
@johnconstantelo has one which is SmartThings compatible, as I can remember. Maybe @Automated_House can advise some others as well, as he knows well the brands.
Yup, so do @GSzabados . I use the Spruce gen 2 controller, which uses Smartapp/DTH integration to their cloud. They’ve just updated the SmartApp for their gen 1 controller to work with the new app/platform, and are now working on their gen 2 stuff.
What do you mean by events? Something triggered or triggering SmartThings to then pause/delay/stop the sprinkler?
If so, yes, BUT it’s using their old SmartApp and DTH’s (a zone is a device in ST) that hasn’t been redone for the new app. Their SmartApp can be told to watch a device for activity and pause sprinkling, like a door opening.
Spruce’s web site would be a good source to check out.
Ah, cool. Yup you can do that through their mobile app, and if you know in advance when a certain event is happening, you can pause the entire schedule. You could also do that with their legacy smartapps and devices in the ST app.
