Signature Control Systems launched two new controllers, the 8210 and 8310. The 8210 is an indoor controller for mounting in the garage or home. The 8310 is built for outdoor installation and mounting.
“The market is screaming for the best-available irrigation control at affordable prices,” said Brian Smith, CEO and founder of Signature Control Systems. “Signature responded with the 8210 and 8310. Residential customers know the technology is out there, but they aren’t willing to pay the hundreds of dollars. This product line hits this demand on the nose and will be an important arrow in any contractor’s quiver.”
The Wi-Fi-based controllers will run off Signature’s Share mobile application, accessible from android or iPhone application markets at no cost.
The Share platform delivers real-time agronomic data to each controller, which then can automatically adjust watering to 1/100 of an inch. This precision-based approach saves up to 40 percent of water use in residential yards, the company said.
The 8210 and 8310 runs on Wi-Fi and will include free data for 12 months. Following the first year, customers can opt for basic intelligent irrigation at no cost or continue with real-time ET data integration for an annual or monthly fee.
The controllers have been WaterSense approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, making them eligible for rebates from many water districts, the company said.
