It’s time for a little feedback from the roots. With the new SMRT-Y Soil Moisture Sensor Kit from Rain Bird, an irrigation controller is directly linked to the absolute moisture requirements of a site’s vegetation.

When the sensor detects dry conditions, the next scheduled watering cycle is allowed. If a site’s soil moisture level is above the threshold, the irrigation cycle is suspended. There are just two basic components: an in-ground sensor and a user interface at the controller.

• Turns any controller into a water saving smart controller
• Healthier landscapes less prone to nutrient depletion, fungus, and shallow root growth
• Typical water savings exceed 40%
• TDT digital sensor enables highly accurate readings that are independent of soil temperature and electrical conductivity (EC)
• Displays soil moisture content, soil temperature and EC
• Corrosion-resistant in-ground sensor made of high-grade 304 stainless steel
