A traditional timer waters on a fixed schedule whether it’s 100° and dry or pouring rain. A smart controller waters based on what your lawn actually needs — and the savings show up on the very next bill.
How it works
Smart controllers pull local weather data and pair it with on-site soil and rain sensors to skip or shorten cycles automatically. In North Atlanta’s swing between summer drought and afternoon storms, that adjustment happens almost daily.
What we set up
- Wi-Fi controller with per-zone scheduling
- Rain and soil-moisture sensors
- Seasonal adjust and monthly usage reporting to your phone
The payoff
Most homeowners see 20–30% lower water use with no drop in lawn health — and no more running the sprinklers in a thunderstorm while the neighbors judge you.
An upgrade usually pays for itself within a couple of seasons.
