The smart Water Control is a battery-powered irrigation valve that fits on your garden tap to regulate water supply.

The “smart” part is the scheduling. It has a data-driven schedule assistant that uses real-time weather data and a plant library to work out how much water your plants need. It can also be paired with a smart sensor for accurate soil moisture measurements. It’s compatible with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home and more, and works with either the GARDENA smart App or the GARDENA Bluetooth app.

”The only downside to Zephyr is that it has ruined every other microcontroller framework for me.
