Those excited for new tech and concepts should be happy to know that CES 2023 is going on right now. Of the new tech being unwrapped, Moen just introduced its new Smart Sprinkler Controller. This will let the user control their sprinkler system using their phone.
Moen introduced its Smart Water System. This is an ecosystem of devices that deliver and control the water in your house. These include smart faucets, leak detectors, smart pump monitors, smart shower controllers, and more. If you’re interested in devices like these, you can check out the Moen website.
Moen introduces the Smart Sprinkler Controller
Most of Moen’s devices are designed to control the water in your home, but what about the water outside of it? At CES 2023, Moen gave us a first look at its upcoming Smart Sprinkler Controller.
This is a large module that you’ll attach to your sprinkler system, and it will control the flow of the water going out. As with all smart home devices, you’re able to control it using your smartphone, and that puts a lot of power in your hands.
The app allows you to set which zones you want to receive water. Also, it will let you set schedules for when you want the sprinklers to activate. What’s neat is that you can set separate schedules for each zone.
One issue with other sprinkler systems is that they don’t account for the weather. With the Moen Smart Sprinkler, you can skip watering when it’s raining. That can lead to some significant water savings.
The company claims that switching over from a traditional clock-based sprinkler system can lead to water savings overall. If you need to monitor how much water you’re using, you can easily do so from the app. It will show you how many gallons of water you used that day, that week, that month, and throughout the whole year.
Also, as you’d imagine, the app will send you real-time notifications about the status of your watering. This helps you keep a better eye on what’s going on.
At this point, we don’t know when this device is going to launch. If you want to keep up to date about when it will hit the shelves, you can sign up to receive notifications from the company.
