Rain Bird 's new SMRT-Y Soil Moisture Sensor Kit is an irrigation controller that senses the moisture content of the soil.

When the sensor detects dry conditions, it enables the next scheduled irrigation cycle. If the soil moisture level is above the threshold, the irrigation cycle is suspended.

There are only two basic components: a sensor that will be installed in the ground and a user interface that will be installed on the controller.

SMRT-Y turns any controller into a smart water-saving controller.

Healthier landscapes are less susceptible to nutrient depletion, fungi, and shallow root growth.

Thanks to this sensor, typical water savings exceed 40%.

The TDT digital sensor enables extremely precise readings independent of soil temperature and electrical conductivity.

SMRT-Y displays soil moisture content and soil temperature.

The ground sensor made of high quality 304 stainless steel ensures strength and durability.
