These can measure the soil moisture, for example. As the good old motto &#8222;a lot helps a lot&#8220; does not apply when watering lawns or plants, you should not always water extensively. Ideally, you should act when necessary. This not only saves water, but also ensures optimum care for plants and lawn.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_318802\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-318802\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/gardena_smart_system2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-318802 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/gardena_smart_system2-780x535.jpeg\" alt=\"Best irrigation systems 2024\" width=\"780\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/gardena_smart_system2-780x535.jpeg 780w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/gardena_smart_system2-390x267.jpeg 390w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/gardena_smart_system2-220x150.jpeg 220w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/gardena_smart_system2-1320x905.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/gardena_smart_system2.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-318802\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Watering sensor from Gardena (Image: Gardena, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4eEUxbx\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored\">approx. 60 euros on Amazon<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the most important parameters is certainly soil moisture. Irrigation systems with a soil moisture sensor always know exactly when water is needed and when the water meter can take a break. If the soil is too dry, there is an extra portion of cool water. If, on the other hand, it is soaked by continuous rain anyway, the tap automatically remains closed. Models with sensors for solar radiation are in a similar vein.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_318800\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-318800\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/eve_aqua1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-318800 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/eve_aqua1-e1727440717620-780x499.jpeg\" alt=\"Best irrigation systems 2024\" width=\"780\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/eve_aqua1-e1727440717620-780x499.jpeg 780w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/eve_aqua1-e1727440717620-390x250.jpeg 390w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/eve_aqua1-e1727440717620-220x141.jpeg 220w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/eve_aqua1-e1727440717620-1320x845.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/eve_aqua1-e1727440717620.jpeg 1422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-318800\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Smart irrigation systems such as the Eve Aqua <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XKwbGw\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored\">(approx. 140 euros on Amazon<\/a>) can access weather data.

As a result, the amount of water is optimized. Systems with weather data integration work more predictively. For example, if the weather forecast predicts cool temperatures coupled with rainy weather, sprinklers and the like will not be used. In dry heat, on the other hand, it&#8217;s &#8222;water on!&#8220;.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"irrigation-systems-guide-connectivity-and-control\"><\/span>Irrigation systems guide: Connectivity and control<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Smart homes have of course long since arrived in our gardens.

In particular, nozzles and the superficial plug connections should be checked regularly. For smart systems with sensors, it is also important that the sensors are always cleaned. This effectively prevents incorrect measurements, which can result in incorrect watering.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"irrigation-systems-guide-compatibility-with-existing-infrastructure\"><\/span>Irrigation systems guide: Compatibility with existing infrastructure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Anyone who has just built a new garden or wants to completely redesign their garden should think in advance about which manufacturer the system should come from. After all, a coherent system with elements from the same manufacturer is always an advantage. This ensures compatibility between the individual components. However, if you want to upgrade your garden and already have an irrigation system, you should make sure that the new extensions are compatible with the existing system.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ventile_gartenschlauch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-319235 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ventile_gartenschlauch-780x520.jpg\" alt=\"Irrigation systems guide\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ventile_gartenschlauch-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ventile_gartenschlauch-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ventile_gartenschlauch-220x147.jpg 220w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ventile_gartenschlauch-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ventile_gartenschlauch-1320x880.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ventile_gartenschlauch.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, this is almost always the case if you are not using a system that is too old. After all, it is important to manufacturers of smart irrigation solutions that their own technology can be integrated into existing systems without any major problems. However, there is no absolute certainty here, which is why you should check in advance whether old and new components really do fit together. Otherwise, you will have to resort to workarounds such as adapters. This not only incurs additional costs, but usually also makes installation more difficult.<\/p><div class=\"losgehts-inhalt losgehts-entity-placement\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"losgehts-3897251135\"><div class=\"losgehts-adlabel\">Anzeige<\/div><script type=\"text\/plain\" data-tcf=\"waiting-for-consent\" data-id=\"405718\" data-bid=\"1\">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<\/script><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"irrigation-systems-guide-price-and-quality\"><\/span>Irrigation systems guide: Price and quality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The price of a smart irrigation system varies greatly depending on the range of functions and quality.
