Gardena Smart Water Controllers

Since its founding in 1961, Gardena has developed from a small trading company selling garden tools into the globally recognised manufacturer we know today. In 2007 Gardena became a member of the Swedish Husqvarna group, giving them access to the resources needed to develop their technology further than ever before.

In 2016, Gardena released their 'smart system' to the public. This system is designed to make watering as easy as possible, while also giving the user endless options for precise irrigation where required. The system requires a Gardena smart Gateway to communicate the data received from the wireless devices to the free and simple to navigate Gardena mobile app. Once both the gateway and Gardena app are installed, the user can run through both the initial set-up and the programming of the required irrigation cycles.

Thanks to the app, the Gardena smart Water Controller needs only one button on the unit itself. Pressing this button once will light up the LED's that show the status of the timer, and pressing it again will manually open or close the internal solenoid valve. The Gardena app allows the user to easily programme endless unique watering schedules, where they can control the start time and length of the irrigation cycle, as well as the days of the week in which the schedule will run. The app features the 'Gardena-assisted mode', which uses the answers to just seven multiple-choice questions to accurately generate schedules for you. As the gateway is required to make the smart system function correctly, these individual controller units are designed to be purchased as additions to the Gardena Smart Irrigation Controller Sets.

Using three AA 1.5v batteries, these timers will run for approximately 6 months before new batteries are required. Due to the intricate nature of the internal circuitry, these timers are protected down to a temperature no lower than 5°C. To protect from damage, the unit should be brought indoors when cold weather is forecast.
