The WaterOptimizer, a smart irrigation system, was named Innovation of the Year at the recent BizTech Innovation Summit Awards & Expo. The smart irrigation system takes the next step in technology: Sensor nodes are placed in the ground, designed to measure the amount of water in the soil. Sprinklers only turn on when the ground is dry, and then only long enough to reach the desired moisture level. The system is controlled remotely, using an Internet connection. The wireless mesh network relays information back to the user, giving instant data and immediate control.
