Sony has launched a new smart irrigation controller that uses real-time weather data to help homeowners water their lawns more efficiently. The device connects to local weather services and adjusts watering schedules based on current conditions like rain, temperature, and humidity. This means the system skips unnecessary watering when it rains or when the soil is already moist.

The controller works with existing sprinkler systems and can be managed through a simple smartphone app. Users can set basic preferences and let the system handle the rest. It also sends alerts if there are leaks or malfunctions in the irrigation setup. Sony designed the product to save water and reduce utility bills without requiring constant manual input.

Installation is straightforward and does not need special tools or professional help. The device fits into standard outdoor electrical boxes and pairs quickly with home Wi-Fi networks. Once online, it starts pulling weather updates every few minutes to keep the schedule accurate.

Early testing shows the controller can cut outdoor water use by up to 30 percent compared to traditional timers. It adapts daily to changing forecasts, so lawns stay healthy without overwatering. The system also tracks how much water it uses and shares that information in the app for easy monitoring.

The controller is now available in select markets and will roll out more widely in the coming months. It joins Sony’s growing line of connected home devices focused on convenience and resource efficiency.
