About

Jardana

Features
Read full description

JARDANA is the app for the Jardana irrigation system by Elsner Elektronik. The app is easy to use and gives full control over irrigation. You can adjust the watering duration, change the watering times and start or stop the watering manually. Programmed watering-free days stimulate root growth. With the app, you also have the option of monitoring the status of the watering at any time to ensure that the plants are always optimally cared for. The JARDANA app is easy to install and can be set up in just a few minutes. For communication, Jardana uses the in-house WLAN or creates its own WLAN. The control unit's own WLAN has the advantage that Jardana then works reliably even in extensive and remote gardens. The Jardana irrigation system consists of β€’ Jardana control with 4 irrigation valves β€’ up to 4 optional TMi soil sensors β€’ Control via app or browser β€’ Integration in KNX system possible Jardana is a smart and reliable way to water your garden. The system controls up to 4 watering zones by time and, if desired, by soil moisture. TMi sensors from Elsner Elektronik are used to include soil moisture. The sensors measure the moisture of the soil and the irrigation is adjusted accordingly. This saves water and ensures that the plants always receive the optimal amount. Thanks to the moisture sensors in the soil, the irrigation can β€’ react to rain if a soil moisture sensor is placed outside the watering zones. β€’ or react to the soil moisture in the individual zones if one sensor is placed per zone. Jardana thus helps keep plants healthy while saving you time, effort and water. Jardana is KNX-enabled and can thus be integrated into the KNX building bus system at any time.
