发明名称 SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING A SPRINKLER SYSTEM BASED ON SENSOR INFORMATION
摘要 Systems (100) and methods (800) for controlling a sprinkler system. The methods involve connecting a Sensor-Based Control System (SBCS) between a Sprinkler Control System (SCS) and at least one valve (1061, 1062, . . . , 106N) and/or pump (109). A user-interactive session is performed to select a threshold value (THR) for a relative moisture content parameter. A Sensor Device (SD) measures a moisture content of soil contained in a tract of land (110). Thereafter, Measurement Data (MD) is communicated from SD (1121, . . . , 1125) to SBCS. MD includes information defining an amount of moisture content measured by SD. At SBCS, it is determined if the amount of moisture content exceeds THR. If the amount of moisture content does not exceed THR, an electrical connection is established between SCS and the valve. An electrical connection can additionally or alternatively be established between SCS and the pump.
