The MIYO app controls the smart MIYO garden irrigation and, in conjunction with the MIYO Cube, provides information about the condition of your garden anytime and anywhere. The MIYO smart irrigation measures soil moisture and knows weather data and forecast from the Internet. The app offers unlimited options to control irrigation by soil moisture and time windows. As a result, watering only occurs when necessary, and MIYO significantly reduces water use. At the same time, MIYO protects soil and plants. Create one or more watering areas with sensors and valves in the app for your garden. The sensors measure soil moisture, air temperature and brightness. The Cube is placed indoors and combines the sensor data with the current weather forecast and your personal settings. Optionally, it also takes into account messages from your smart home. Thus, it is the brain of the system and decides for one or more watering areas whether, when and how to water ideally. Valve and sensor are solar charged. This eliminates the hassle of changing batteries and conserves valuable resources. Learn more at www.miyo.garden.
