Applets for irrigation and watering schedules
Many weather systems and irrigation devices integrate with IFTTT. This makes it simple to adhere to a regular watering schedule, keep track of when you last watered your plants, learn more about the moisture in your garden, and even use weather as a trigger. Your garden will flourish without the hassle of trying to remember if you watered it. Optimize your irrigation schedule further by watering after sunset to avoid sun damage or wasted water due to evaporation. Check out Yardian and Rachio for some powerful automations and new ways to automate your watering.
