SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WIRELESS IRRIGATION CONTROL WITH A REMOTE APPLICATION

摘要

Provided are a system and method for wireless irrigation control with a remote application. According to one embodiment, the system includes a processor and a plurality of interactive zone switches for connection to at least one irrigation device, each zone switch further structured and arranged to detect a state of the at least one irrigation device. A non-volatile memory is coupled to the processor and provided with processor executable instructions to direct operation of each interactive zone switch. There is at least one remote application to establish a schedule within the non-volatile memory for operation for each interactive zone switch and to receive the schedule from the non-volatile memory in response to a users desire to review or modify the schedule. A wireless network component is coupled to the processor and the non-volatile memory and is in communication with the at least one remote application to schedule operation of at least one interactive zone switch and the at least one irrigation device.

主权项

1. A non-transitory machine readable medium on which is stored an application as a computer program for wireless irrigation control, the computer program comprising instructions which when executed by a computer system having at least one processor and a wireless network component performs the steps of:
providing a remote scheduler by providing a scheduling interface upon a display of the computer, the scheduling interface permitting a user to establish a schedule for a plurality of interactive zone switches coupled to a plurality of remote irrigation devices, and to directly control each interactive zone switch; connecting to at least one wireless network irrigation controller, comprising:
a self containing housing substantially enclosing;a processor;a plurality of independently controllable interactive zone switches for connection to a plurality of remote irrigation devices, each zone switch further structured and arranged to detect a diagnostic state of each irrigation device;a non-volatile memory coupled to the processor having processor executable instructions to direct operation of each interactive zone switch; a wireless network component coupled to the processor and the non-volatile memory.
