Why Choose Wyze Sprinkler Plus for Eco-Friendly Watering?

Wyze Sprinkler Plus is an optional service that upgrades your Wyze Sprinkler Controller, transforming your existing irrigation system into a smart, water-saving powerhouse. Here’s how it helps you water responsibly:

• Smart Schedules: Automatically water each zone only when needed, based on real-time weather and soil conditions.
• Weather Skips: Avoid unnecessary watering by skipping cycles when rain is forecasted, the soil is already wet, or conditions are too cold or windy.
• Cycle/Soak: Breaks watering into multiple cycles, allowing soil to absorb water efficiently and reducing runoff.
• Advanced Zone Details: Monitor the exact moisture level of each zone to ensure your plants get just the right amount of water.

"Sprinkler Plus uses hyper-local weather data and zone parameters to create Smart Schedules, measuring water in (from rain and irrigation) and water out (evapotranspiration), so you only water when your plants truly need it."

Eco-Friendly Features in Action

Smart Schedules & Weather Skips

• Hyper-Local Weather Data: Wyze Sprinkler Plus checks the weather forecast and recent rainfall to decide if watering is necessary.
• Automatic Adjustments: If rain is expected or the soil is already moist, watering is skipped—saving water and preventing overwatering.

Cycle/Soak for Water Conservation

• Efficient Watering: Instead of watering all at once (which can cause runoff), Cycle/Soak breaks watering into shorter cycles, giving soil time to absorb water.
• Healthier Plants: This method ensures roots get the moisture they need without wasting water.

Monitor and Adjust

• Zone Moisture Levels: See real-time moisture data for each zone in the Wyze app.
• Quick Runs: Need a little extra water? Use the Quick Run feature to manually water specific zones as needed.

• Use Weather Skips: Always enable Weather Skips to avoid watering during rain or unsuitable conditions.
• Monitor Moisture: Check moisture levels in the app to ensure your plants are getting just enough water.
• Schedule Around Sunrise/Sunset: Watering early in the morning or late in the evening reduces evaporation and maximizes absorption.
