Our advanced algorithm calculates the rate water will leave your soil depending on weather conditions such as temperature, wind speed, solar radiation, humidity and precipitation along with landscape characteristics such as soil type, plant type and shade.

Did you know that your normal watering schedule could be breaking the law and risking you as much as $500 a day in fines? Don’t be a lawn bandit, and don’t risk hefty fines.

From your lawn, to your flower beds and vegetable garden – Skydrop takes care of all the details (including your local watering restrictions) so you don’t have to. And when we say all the details…we mean it!

Skydrop’s Smart Watering Technology connects through your home’s Wi-Fi to monitor local weather stations in your neighborhood every hour for real-time weather data specific to your lawn!

Skydrop was designed for smart, responsible, environmentally-conscious homeowners and professionals — like you — who are passionate about a gorgeous lawn that will make all the neighbors green with envy… but not as green as your lawn.

Using adaptive algorithms to generate custom and dynamic watering schedules from your weather data, Skydrop automatically determines the optimal watering schedule for each one of your lawn’s zones. Skydrop adjusts watering cycles, duration and frequency to keep your yard healthy in any weather condition. It does all the work for you!

Skydrop maximizes water conservation while maintaining beautiful landscapes. This sleek, compact device also calculates the moisture in your soil and knows how much water a landscape is losing, and when.

Set each zone according to soil type, plant type, sprinkler type, slope and shape. This allows you to water deeply and infrequently while using less water to maintain healthy root growth — the key to a thicker, greener lawn.

Skydrop does it all. Automatically. So you don’t have to. Welcome to a more intelligent way of watering.

Easy-to-use interface accessible through the Skydrop controller, smartphone, tablet or computer. Skydrop automatically sets optimal watering levels for your lawn, garden and landscaping

Skydrop Smart Watering Sprinker Controller has 8 built in zones. Using the most advanced technology to access local weather data, Skydrop calculates water loss in your soil to adjust your watering schedule, which means you’ll spend:

  • Less on your water bill
  • Less time tinkering with your watering system
  • More time doing what you love

WaterSense® Certified

Super Smart Tech for Your Lawn

Set watering schedules combined with improper watering techniques are responsible for up to 50% of the landscape water wasted. Stop wasting and start saving!

By watering each zone separately and only when required, less water is needed to keep your lawn healthy and green. With the Skydrop smart controller, tests have shown an average reduction in water usage of 35%.

As a result the EPA issued Skydrop smart controller the WaterSense® Certification, which guarantees a minimum of 20% water usage reduction.

The US EPA WaterSense® certification guarantees efficiency and lets Skydrop qualify for rebates from water districts and cities around the country.

  • Several so called ‘smart controllers’ don’t connect to Wi-Fi at all and simply use historical weather patterns to guess the best watering schedule.
  • Other WiFi controllers only connect every 6-12 hours to national weather sites for their updates.
  • Skydrop checks local weather stations hourly for real-time and accurate weather data specific for you. It won’t let you get caught off guard.
