Abstract: Method and apparatus for analyzing current microclimate weather data and generating watering schedules according to present need. This method and apparatus further transmits these watering schedules to receivers within individual irrigation timers to adjust water application and saver water. Microclimate weather data is applied to each irrigation timer according to actual local watering need. Water supply flow and starting times are adjusted to distribute delivery loads on water pumping stations. Whereas each individual irrigation timer starts and stops independently in accord with the latest received schedules, immediate control is always available to the transmitting authority.

Abstract: A reversible electric motor is caused to modulate a load in response to an off-on condition responsive device, such as a thermostat. The thermostat completes an electric circuit through an electric heater which in turn supplies heat to a bimetal. The time constant of the bimetal and heater provides a modulating action to a three position motor control switch means which has a center open position. The motor provides a follow-up action through a cam or similar mechanism to rebalance and control an appropriate load, such as a temperature altering medium source.
