The Smart Lawn Controller (SLC) aims to provide an improved solution for home irrigation and plant care systems. The SLC is more than a sprinkler controller. The SLC comes with a stake equipped with moisture and a soil pH sensor that goes into ground to gather live data straight from the soil. Our SLC uses the data collected from the moisture sensor to turn on the sprinklers following the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) regulations. From the pH sensor, the SLC informs the user when pH level either high or low. The system also allows the user to distribute liquid fertilizer and liquid weed killer on command or through a schedule on the app. We decided to add a sensor that detects water leakage and notifies the costumer, in order to save water. To provide a healthy lawn, SLC comes with a bird/animal repellent that generates sound waves that scares birds. Also, it flashes red light to keep big animals away from the yard. It works on motion sensor to save energy. SLC aims to replace old irrigation systems in residential and commercial yards.
