When it comes to saving water, one of the most effective ways to dramatically reduce waste is through smart irrigation. Outdoor watering is inefficient because most controllers on the market today rely on timers that turn on sprinklers - even when they're not needed. We have found that using next-generation controllers actually reduces waste by up to 70 percent, which surpasses Mr. Zine's goal of a 10 percent reduction in water usage." By using the power of personal computers to wirelessly control sprinkler systems, Cyber-Rain enables users to program watering schedules, set reminders for when to fertilize, and even measure water savings through an easy to use intuitive interface without ever needing to visit their garage.
