Wise Orchard smart irrigation valve now available for pre-order

LONDON - June 28, 2016 - PRLog -- Wise Orchard, the smartphone-controlled, internet-connected smart watering system that automatically adjusts the watering schedule as the weather changes announced today that its wireless water valve is available for pre-order. Wise Orchard's compact irrigation valve fits standard garden taps and hoses, runs on four AA batteries and can be installed in minutes. Its ease of use and affordability take the smart home one step further, into the smart garden.

"Wise Orchard's system was designed to allow users to take a hands-off approach when it comes to watering, while enabling them to watch over their garden and manage irrigation from their smartphone, from anywhere, at any time", said Wise Orchard founder Alvaro Salmador.

Wise Orchard pulls local weather data automatically from multiple weather forecast services and weather stations in order to create a personalized watering plan in real time. It takes the guesswork out of the equation when it comes to watering, helping save money and conserve precious water. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (https://www3.epa.gov/watersense/pubs/outdoor.html), some experts estimate that as much as 50 percent of water used for irrigation is wasted. By taking into account rainfall and only using the amount of water needed, Wise Orchard helps solve the problem of wasteful irrigation. This also makes it more cost-effective: it is estimated to reduce water bills by up to 30 percent.

Wise Orchard is designed with both novice and expert gardeners in mind, remotely accessible on the Internet, easy to use, affordable and smart, granting an unprecedented level of automation and control over watering. For expert gardeners, Wise Orchard offers many customization options that will let them take their garden care to the next level. Wise Orchard not only automates watering, it also offers tips such as when to prune plants, or warning of freezing temperatures in advance. Gardeners can watch over their plants and have full control of their irrigation through Wise Orchard's mobile application, which will be available for iPhone and Android, and on the web too.
