7 connected objects for the garden

Like the interior of the house, the garden now has its share of connected objects to make life easier for the gardener and allow him to take time off, especially in times of drought... A review of these different tools and their characteristics.

Sensors to measure plant needs

While such connected objects may appear "gimmicks" at first glance, they are very useful in understanding and satisfying the needs of plants.

Once planted in the soil near a plant, the sensor records data such as humidity, temperature, exposure... And then communicate them to the computer or smartphone according to the technology. Once you've integrated this data, it's up to you to act accordingly by giving your plant what it needs!

Smart pots with a water supply

If you have potted plants that you care about, you should ask yourself the question each year when going on vacation (especially during periods of high heat such as during July and August): how do you keep them from drying out while you're away?

If, of course, you can still coax your neighbors with boxes of chocolate in the hope that they will agree to water them, another solution exists: the smart pot,also equipped with sensors and a supply of water of several liters from which to draw. Enough to allow you to spend some good time by the sea or in the wild with a quiet mind!

Connected lights to illuminate the garden

Because when you're lucky enough to have a garden, you want to be able to make the most of summer evenings... It's better if it's well lit!

In order to see clearly once in the evening, there are many models of connected fixtures for the terrace and garden.

Whether you opt for appliques, bollards or LED ribbons,you'll be spoilt for choice and the hardest part will be choosing, the type of light chosen depends mainly on the type of atmosphere you want to create.

Automatic sprinkler systems

This is the accessory that could save your crops next summer: the automatic sprinkler system.

While it is possible to install a traditional drip connected to a programmer to automate the watering of your vegetable garden, there are even more elaborate technologies, such as the Smart Micro-Drip Gardenakit, which provides watering cycles in the garden aisles and can be controlled from a smartphone.

Other tools, such as AquaBloom, do not require water taps or electrical outlets and operate independently with solar energy,more suitable for small areas such as courtyards or balconies.

Smart mowing systems

It must be said: piloting the mowing of his lawn remotely from his smartphone, it is still much less tiring than mowing the old-fashioned way, being walked in the garden by a machine with deafening din.

With smart mowers like the Sileno City or Sileno Life mower robots from Gardena, mowing is uniform throughout the outside surface, but is mostly done autonomously, no matter where the driver is... And what's more, without a trace! A reassuring winning combo for anyone who is reluctant to take charge of the maintenance of their garden.

Weather stations to anticipate

Who said that you have to be called Météo France to collect weather information? Today, anyone can improvise as a meteorologist by buying a small weather station.

Equipped with a thermostat and sensors to measure pollution, humidity and showers expected in the coming days. Certainly, predicting the weather in a week's time is a profession... But by equipping yourself with the right tools, you can still get a little idea.

The Smart Sensor,always by Gardena, is a good example: it is doubly intelligent because in addition to recording data, it communicates with other tools designed by Gardena, such as the Micro-Drip automatic sprinkler system.
