    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for improving performance of sprinkler control systems using aggregations of flow controllers. As an example, to facilitate control of multiple controllers, a system may generate a virtual flow controller by aggregating the two or more flow controllers. A schedule for the virtual controller is set or received and then translated into schedules for the aggregated controllers. In another example, schedules may be set for individual watering zones, which are then translated into watering schedules for flow controllers corresponding to the zones. The system then transmits these schedules to a respective flow controller, which then carries out an irrigation routine according to the schedule.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method of controlling a sprinkler system is provided. An example method includes receiving an access request to grant control of the sprinkler system to a device, responsive to receiving the access request, transmitting an authorization including a first digital security token, storing a local copy of the first digital security token, receiving a request to control the sprinkler system from the device, wherein the request includes a second digital security token, comparing the second digital security token to the local copy of the first digital security token to determine whether the second digital security token matches the local copy of the first digital security token, and responsive to determining that the second digital security token matches the local copy of the first digital security token, granting control of the sprinkler system to the device based.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method of granting a remote device access to a smart home network connected device is disclosed. An example method includes receiving an access request including identifying information related to the remote device; generating a digital security token that is encrypted and provides the remote device with access to the smart home network connected device without divulging network credentials; transmitting the digital security token to the remote device; receiving the decrypted digital security token from the remote device, the decrypted digital security token validating permissions of the remote device to access the smart home network connected device; and transmitting a remote access authorization to the remote device based on the decrypted digital security token, the remote access authorization providing the remote device with access to the smart home network connected device to connect the smart home network connected device to the network.
