A remotely controllable valve regulates water flow in precise increments, specifically adjusting it to a quarter of its full capacity. This device is paired with a software application accessible on mobile devices, enabling users to manage and monitor water usage from a distance. For example, this could be used in agricultural settings to precisely control irrigation or in residential contexts to manage water features or lawn sprinklers.
The ability to manage water resources with such granularity and remote access offers several advantages. This technology facilitates conservation efforts by preventing water wastage through leaks or over-irrigation. Furthermore, it provides a historical log of water consumption, allowing for data-driven decision-making regarding resource management and cost optimization. The concept builds upon existing smart home and agricultural automation systems, integrating a new level of control into water management practices.
