  • Patent number: 11844315
    Abstract: A system may include a sensor disposed on a parcel of land, watering equipment comprising a watering pump and processing circuity, and a user terminal comprising a user interface. The sensor may be configured to detect moisture conditions. The processing circuitry may be configured to direct the watering pump to operate in accordance with an operational mode. The user terminal may be configured to output system information via the user interface based on sensor data provided by the sensor, control the watering pump to operate in accordance with the operational mode, and delegate operational control of the system to a second user in response to a delegation input provided by a first user via the user interface.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11178831
    Abstract: A system (10) may include sensor equipment (30) including one or more sensors (140, 142) disposed on a parcel of land, watering equipment (20) disposed on the parcel and configured to selectively apply water to the parcel, and a gateway (40) configured to provide for communication with the sensor equipment (30) and the watering equipment (20). The watering equipment (20) may include a watering pump (120), the watering pump (120) being operably coupled to a water source (100) and a water line (110) to alternately couple the water source (100) to and isolate the water source (100) from the water line (110), and processing circuitry (160). The processing circuitry (160) may be configured to determine an operational mode of the watering pump (120) and direct the watering pump (120) to operate in accordance with the operational mode.
