Aiper welcomes spring with IrriSense 2: smart irrigation with full garden control

Spring is coming and garden care can become quite a challenge. Technology has set out to make our lives a little easier and this is where it comes into play. the Aiper IrriSense 2 smart sprinkler, that offers irrigation controlled to the millimeter to automate this task successfully, in a more precise and efficient way.

We have been able to test it for several weeks and the feeling is clear: we are not facing a conventional sprinkler, but rather a a complete smart irrigation system that changes the way you manage the garden.

One of the aspects that we liked the most is its ‘all in one’ concept. The device integrates the controller, sprinkler and electric valve into a single piece of equipment, which eliminates the need to assemble several elements separately. In practice, this translates into a very simple installation that you can have ready in about 15 minutes without the need for professional help (it is enough to have a water and electricity connection relatively close).

TOTAL CUSTOMIZATION

In actual use, the customization capacity is especially notable. Through the ‘app’ you can create irrigation maps quite intuitively and define different zones within the garden. The system allows you to configure up to a dozen independent zones, which is very useful if you have different types of plants or areas with different needs.

Additionally, the user can adjust each point on the map, allowing regulate the length of the jet according to the area, something key to avoid wasting water or wetting areas that you are not interested in watering (and, of course, saving water). It is a function that really makes the difference compared to more traditional systems, because the irrigation truly adapts to the space.

In terms of coverage, we found the performance very solid. The device is designed for small and medium-sized gardens, with coverage of up to about 445 square meters y a maximum range of about twelve meters. In our experience, this distance is more than enough for normal plots, allowing you to cover a large area without the need for multiple devices.

Another strong point is its focus on efficiency. Thanks to its rain-type distribution technology and intelligent irrigation management, the system can save -as we said before- up to 40 percent water. Likewise, it incorporates functions adapted to the weather, such as automatic pause in case of rain or wind, which helps optimize consumption without having to be constantly aware.

TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT: THE WIND AND THE WIFI CONNECTION

It is precisely the point of the wind which has cost us a little to regulate correctly, since in areas where it blows strongly, this measurement to pause irrigation may not be completely accurate and, if the sprinkler is started with the wind blowing, the precision of the jet may be altered and cause some area to not be irrigated adequately.

Another aspect to take into account is WiFi synchronizationwhich in our case has been somewhat more complicated than expected. It must be taken into account that we are dealing with a device that is installed on the plot – away from home – or in a second residence, where the connection may be more unstable or the initial process requires a little more patience.

Overall, we found the Aiper IrriSense 2 a very complete solution for those who want to automate irrigation with precision and without complications. It stands out for its ease of use, its customization capacity and its focus on saving water, making it a very interesting option to improve garden care without resorting to complex installations.

Its price, 399 euros, may seem expensive for those who usually water the old way – with a hose -, but for those who are thinking of installing an irrigation system on their plot (or changing the one they have) it can be a very interesting alternative to take into account.
