Smart Watering Systems

The Blossom 8 Smart Watering Controller Brings the IoT to the Garden

— March 22, 2016 — Eco
In honor of World Water Day, Blossom is launching its new eight-zone Blossom 8 Smart Watering Controller. IoT is gradually changing the way consumers interact within the home and now the same technology is being applied to the garden as well.

Blossom 8 is a user-friendly smart watering system that aims to take the guesswork out of controlling home sprinkler systems. The device consists of eight different zones, all of which are equipped with WiFi connectivity. Taking account of actual water needs, the system works by using automated weather analytics in order to control each sprinkler. As a result, local forecasts, daily weather data and user feedback help "to create the ideal watering schedule."

The connected sprinkler system not only provides consumers with a more convenient way to manage their garden, but it also promotes water conservation and significant cost savings.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Watering Systems - The rise of smart watering systems that make efficient use of water and allow for user control through IoT technology.
2. Connectivity in Gardening - The increase of IoT-connected gardening devices that provide convenience and cost savings while promoting responsible water usage.
3. Automated Weather Analytics - The use of automated weather analytics to create ideal watering schedules for gardens, reducing water waste and improving efficiency.
Industry Implications
1. Home and Garden - The home and garden industry can benefit from incorporating IoT technology to provide cost and water-efficient solutions.
2. Agriculture - The agricultural industry can adapt smart watering systems to optimize water usage and crop growth, resulting in cost savings and higher yields.
3. Weather Forecasting - The weather forecasting industry could partner with IoT developers to provide more accurate and detailed data for use in automated watering systems and promote efficient water usage.
