This solution is aligned with feature 41 “Green area management module” of the Smart Tourism Destinations Platform.

Currently, the green areas of many of the public parks and gardens have a drawback: the multitude of valves throughout the green areas of any municipality. These are managed unevenly, and it is very difficult to optimise water consumption since irrigation control is totally decentralised, which causes very high water consumption.

Telefónica’s smart irrigation solution is a system based on irrigation controllers, both plug-in and battery-powered, fully autonomous and controlled by app with Bluetooth or web access. This control is carried out centrally through hubs deployed in the park or garden with m2m connectivity. It is possible to add environmental sensors (temperature, humidity, air, etc.).

The solution comes with a web visualisation platform to analyse the data, manage the users and the modules.
