The central control system is configured to derive and send an irrigation schedule for the irrigation site. The smart scheduler comprises a data

receiver, a processor, and a signal interface. The data receiver is configured to receive the irrigation schedule. The processor is configured to convert the irrigation schedule to a series of control signals that the irrigation controller recognizes. The signal interface is configured to connect to the irrigation controller and to send the series of control signals to the irrigation controller. The system uses weather data and irrigation site-specific information to automatically apply the optimal irrigation schedule. Users are able to remotely control the irrigation via networks such as Internet.
US patent No. 20120083929 Al on Solar-Powered Self-Watering Planter Insert A self-contained insert for use with a planter to provide self-watering of container-grown plants. It has a perforated tray supported over a reservoir that contains a submersible pump, and water or nutrient solution. Plants may be in pots supported by the tray, or plant roots may be in a growth or support medium distributed directly into the tray. A height-adjustable riser supported by the tray houses the pump's controller/timer/battery. A drip line connected to the pump distributes fluid from the reservoir to plants in the tray. Solar power is used for pump operation, and may be derived from a unit secured to the riser, or a unit positioned remotely from the reservoir and tray. No municipal power or water supply connections are needed for insert function. Applications include, but are not limited to, use for daily watering of plants in residential homes, commercial buildings, hotels, convention centres, and college campuses. Irrigation system with soil moisture based seasonal watering adjustment
