Patent ID: 7962245

Claim:
A system for regulating an irrigation system comprising: a sensor assembly configured for operation at a remote location, comprising: a first sensor measuring an accumulation of precipitation; a second sensor measuring temperature; a wireless transmitter configured for wirelessly transmitting data; and a sensor assembly control circuit in communication with said first sensor, said second sensor and said wireless transmitter; a control module configured for operation local to said irrigation controller, comprising: a receiver configured to wirelessly communicate with said wireless transmitter of said sensor assembly; a module control circuit in communication with said receiver; and a user interface in communication with said module control circuitry; wherein said control module is connected to said irrigation system to selectively interrupt an irrigation schedule based on sensing of a threshold environmental parameter by at least one of said first and second sensor; and, wherein a setting of said threshold environmental parameter is selectively adjustable on said user interface of said control module.
