RainMachine Weather Aware Sprinkler

Green Electronics LLC says that the RainMachine Weather Aware Sprinkler uses big data from NOAA and other satellite services to deliver the right amount of water to up to 16 zones in a garden. Using the weather data RainMachine can determine how much water should be used to reduce water waste and prevents overwatering. The sprinkler system can be used in different climates and types of gardens.

• Works with a corresponding iPhone or Android app, which allows for users to monitor and override the settings from wherever they are
• RainMachine stores weather data for seven days in advance incase the users wifi goes down and also has a local database for seasonal averages in the area
• Forecasts down to a 1.6 mile area from weather services
• Adjusts water settings based on humidity, rain, wind and barometric pressure
• RainMachine is a Android computer box that uses wifi and easily replaces traditional sprinkler controllers by using the same two wires
• Designed for Google’s newest upcoming Weave standard, which is a common language to connect all kinds of everyday devices

 Green Electronics says that their evapotranspiration code is open to anyone: That means that tinkerers can adjust it for aquaponics, gesture control, even turning off the sprinklers when a car enters the driveway.
