The smart home is already widespread. Using an app to control the light, set the temperature or close the shutters: What works in the house also works in the garden. These technical solutions help garden owners to optimise maintenance.
Irrigation
The irrigation system is installed directly on the main water connection. This connection must always be open, as the connected timer has its own interlock. If the tap is turned off, the timer can open the integrated flap, but no water can flow through it.
In addition to the classic and widely used sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation is a very popular and intelligent system. Here, water is applied selectively and drop by drop to beds, potted plants or shrubs. The roots are optimally supplied and a lot of water is saved at the same time.
There are also other helpers such as a moisture sensor, which is placed directly in the bed or in the lawn.
5 tips for watering
- Water early in the morning or in the evening
- Keep leaves dry
- Plants prefer rainwater
- Note the weather
- Avoid waterlogging
Lighting
Illuminate paths, set the scene for trees or brighten up the seating area: The garden can be viewed as an outdoor space and designed in an even more sophisticated way with a well thought-out lighting concept. Light extends the space outwards and is often an underestimated element. The effect depends on colour, colour temperature and light distribution and thus contributes to the creation of space under the starry sky. As in the interior, light can be used both to illuminate and to emphasise individual areas.
Many lighting manufacturers also work with an intelligent solution and have developed an app to control the light in the garden or on the patio.
Robot mower
After installation, the robotic lawnmower is ready to do the work for you in the garden. The time saved is enormous and the lawn is optimally maintained. Of course, the smart control system is also a must here. The mowing time can be set and synchronised with the watering.
