Available in March, the HermitCrab is a new universal smart controller that upgrades most brands of inefficient conventional irrigation controllers to ETwater smart irrigation, to improve water efficiency and control for the commercial irrigation market. The small, self-contained, weatherproof unit easily connects to a broad range of existing conventional irrigation controllers, immediately converting them into smart controllers that operate on ET Water's award-winning web service to efficiently and remotely manage landscape irrigation. With typical installation time of 10 minutes or less, and using the existing conventional controller as a "host," the HermitCrab connects wirelessly to the ET Water web servers to obtain customized daily watering schedules based on unique evapotranspiration (ET) computations and landscape requirements, and communicate the irrigation commands to and through the host controller. Additionally, HermitCrab is compatible with the ET Water QuickDraw service, allowing users to instantly turn irrigation systems and valves on and off from their computers or their smartphones.
