Why One Threshold Does Not Fit All Turf roots are shallow; shrubs pull from deeper layers. A single global threshold will overwater one and underwater another. Calibration Steps Baseline readings after irrigation and after dry-down. Map those to controller setpoints instead of guessing vendor defaults. Sensor Placement Install in representative soil, not in pure sand […]
Wi-Fi doesn’t reach every irrigation site. The Rachio Cellular Connect module delivers full Pro Series smart controller features via LTE at any location with cellular coverage — vacation homes, rural properties, and construction sites.
Location Matters Mount sensors with open sky exposure but away from walls that shed water unpredictably. Keep them clear of sprinkler spray and gutter splash. Height Guidelines Follow manufacturer height and tilt guidance—many units need level mounting to drain properly after storms. Wired vs Wireless Wired sensors avoid battery issues but require clean routing. Wireless […]
FX Luminaire added Terra TN-61 and TG-61 MR-16 in-grounds with brass or composite faceplates. Here is how they compare to TN-60 and TG-60, and which TG-60 we stock.

Home Run vs Daisy Chain Home-run each valve when possible for cleaner troubleshooting. Daisy chains save copper but complicate fault isolation. Splices That Survive Use waterproof connectors rated for direct burial and tug-test […]

For associations, the expensive failure mode is not a brown lawn—it is a valve stuck open overnight that floods a garage, undermines a slope, or spikes the water bill before anyone walks the site.

Smart platforms like Hunter Hydrawise turn “we think we saved water” into schedules, history, and flow charts property managers can attach to meeting packets and water-district inquiries.

Asking how many irrigation zones an HOA needs is really two questions: how many stations exist today, and how many controllers should manage them. Overloading one box creates long water windows and complaint-prone dry spots; splitting thoughtfully keeps pressure, runtime, and landscaper workflows sane.

Most associations already own Hunter Pro-C or commercial ICC / ICC2 cabinets in pump rooms and entry walls.
