Wireless irrigation control

摘要

Several embodiments provide wireless irrigation control and related methods. In one implementation, an irrigation control system includes a transmitter unit including a controller and a connector to be coupled to an irrigation controller having station actuation output connectors. The controller is can receive an indication that the irrigation controller has activated an irrigation station, and can cause the transmitter unit to transmit a wireless activation signal responsive to the indication. A receiver unit is coupled to an actuator coupled to an actuatable device, such as an irrigation valve, the actuator configured to actuate the irrigation valve to control the flow of water therethrough. The receiver unit receives the wireless activation signal and in response, causes the actuator to actuate the actuatable device.

主权项

1. A method for use in controlling irrigation comprising:
receiving, at a first controller of a transmitter unit via a connector, an indication that an irrigation controller has activated an irrigation station, the connector coupled to the irrigation controller, the irrigation controller having station actuation output connectors for activating irrigation stations, wherein the transmitter unit has a user interface comprising one or more user inputs; and causing, responsive to the indication, transmission of a wireless activation signal by a signal transmitter coupled to the first controller, the wireless activation signal configured for receipt at a wireless receiver unit located remotely from the transmitter unit and coupled to an actuator and an actuatable device.
