主权项

1. A method for providing an irrigation system having a controller connected to an irrigation server over computer network for executing irrigation protocols in compliance with irrigation restrictions, wherein the method comprises:
receiving irrigation restrictions over the computer network that correspond to irrigation zones controlled by the controller and storing the irrigation restrictions in memory; receiving calendaring data for generating time stamps for coordinating irrigation restrictions and irrigation instructions for the controller; generating an irrigation protocol within the irrigation server based at least partially on the irrigation restrictions received and the calendaring data received; and transmitting the irrigation protocol from the irrigation server to the controller over the computer network such that the irrigation protocol generated within the irrigation server is executed in compliance the irrigation restrictions.
