Abstract
A smart irrigation system for an irrigation controller associated with an irrigation site is described herein. The smart irrigation system comprises a central control system having a user interface and a smart scheduler. The central control system is configured to receive a landscape information associated with the irrigation site. The landscape information is provided by a user via the user interface. The central control system is further configured to receive an environmental information associated with the irrigation site. The central control system is further configured to derive an irrigation schedule for the irrigation site based on the landscape information and the environmental information. The central control system being further configured to send the irrigation schedule. The smart scheduler comprises a data receiver, a processor, and a signal interface. The data receiver is configured to receive the irrigation schedule. The processor is configured to convert the irrigation schedule to a series of control signals that the irrigation controller recognizes. The signal interface is configured to connect to the irrigation controller and to send the series of control signals t…
