The GreenIQ Smart Garden Hub and the web app communicate via the GreenIQ Cloud.
Configuration changes, software updates and on-going status updates are stored and
retrieved via the cloud.

How it works
1.
Using the app, you define the start time and end time for each zone (up to four different
programs per zone). Then, you can just sit back while GreenIQ Smart Garden Hub takes it
from there.
2.
The GreenIQ Smart Garden Hub autonomously gets all the information it needs from the
Internet via its Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable connections.
3.
The GreenIQ Smart Garden Hub controls your garden's irrigation and intelligently
calculates optimal watering programs based on the weather. The system can save up to
50% on your outdoor water bill, while keeping your garden and lawn lush and green.
4.
And it does the same thing for lighting. Schedule once and forget about it. The GreenIQ
Smart Garden Hub turns your garden lights on and off according to predefined schedules
or based on sunset and sunrise times.
2.3.
Science of Evapotranspiration
Evapotranspiration (ET) is the sum of water evaporation from the soil and plant transpiration to the
atmosphere. Your garden's water balance is compensated by natural precipitation and by your
irrigation system. So how can you avoid over-watering and under-watering of your plants? Your
GreenIQ Smart Garden Hub automatically downloads data from the Internet on current and forecast
weather conditions provided by the nearest weather station. Factors such as temperature, relative
humidity (RH), wind speed and solar radiation directly impact the ET in your garden.
The GreenIQ Smart Garden Hub schedules irrigation based on the start time and end time you
programmed, and modifies the irrigation period according to ET and latest/forecast precipitation.
On very hot and dry days, your plants get more water, and on cold and cloudy days - less water. On
rainy days, the GreenIQ Smart Garden Hub turns off irrigation completely. As a result, your garden
gets just the amount of water it needs. It keeps your garden looking great, it saves you money and
it's good for the environment.
