Save Water

Never worry about forgetting to close a valve or over watering your crops

Volume Based Irrigation Scheduling

Run irrigations based on volume of water not length of time. When Lumo records the desired volume of water, it will close the valve, giving you precision control over your irrigations.

Detect Catastrophic Leaks

Lumo’s flow sensors play a critical role in detecting leaks in your irrigation system. If an abnormally high flow rate is detected, it is likely due to a broken drip line downstream from the Lumo valve.

Digital Record Keeping

All data captured from Lumo’s smart valves is recorded and saved for digital record keeping. This allows growers to instantly generate reports for internal use or compliance.

Irrigation Automation Frequently Asked Questions

Irrigation automation is the use of technology to automate the process of watering crops or plants. This can involve using sensors, controllers, and other devices to manage water delivery, as well as software and data analytics to optimize water use and increase crop yields.

The benefits of irrigation automation include improved crop yields, reduced water use, increased efficiency, and cost savings. By automating irrigation, farmers and growers can more accurately control water delivery to crops, reduce waste, and optimize plant growth.

When choosing an irrigation automation system, it is important to consider factors such as the type of crops being grown, the soil type and texture, the climate and weather patterns in the area, and the availability of water resources. It is also important to consider the cost of the system and its installation and maintenance requirements.

Irrigation automation can help conserve water by delivering water only when and where it is needed, reducing waste from overwatering or inefficient delivery. By using sensors and other technology to monitor soil moisture levels, weather conditions, and other factors, irrigation systems can optimize water delivery and reduce overall water use.
