Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method to increase drought tolerance for grass is disclosed. The method includes estimating by a server a root depth of grass watered by an irrigation system based on one or more of historical watering data of the grass, grass type characteristics, or soil characteristics of soil in which the grass is growing; determining by the server a target water depletion threshold of the grass based on the root depth; generating by the server an irrigation schedule based on the target water depletion threshold and weather information; and transmitting by the server the irrigation schedule to an irrigation controller to selectively activate the irrigation system based on the irrigation schedule.

Abstract: Systems and methods for diagnosing and facilitating repair of system components and/or improving watering schedules are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of diagnosing a sprinkler system component is disclosed that includes initiating a sprinkler system zone run for a particular zone of a sprinkler system, capturing image data for the sprinkler system run, uploading the image data to a network node, processing the image data at the network node to produce data on the sprinkler system or a sprinkler system component, and generating an action item for the sprinkler system or sprinkler system component based on the data produced at the network node.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for collecting utility meter data are described. An example system may include a flow controller and a server. The flow controller is configured to communicate with a water meter for a property and connected to at least one water outlet of a plurality of water outlets. The server is coupled to one or more infrastructure databases and the flow controller. The server includes a non-transitory computer readable media and is configured to execute instructions stored on the non-transitory computer readable media. The instructions include receiving water usage data from the flow controller and transmitting the water usage data from the water meter for the property to a water utility company.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method for generating a dynamic watering plan that reduces water consumption requirements for vegetation is disclosed. An example method includes estimating root depth of vegetation watered by a watering system; determining an allowed water depletion threshold of the vegetation based on the root depth; determining a training watering plan to increase the root depth of the vegetation over time based on the root depth and the allowed water depletion threshold; and transmitting the training watering plan to a flow controller for execution by the watering system.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method for improving lawn health is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a processing element of a user device, vegetation specifications and zone data of a lawn; generating, by the processing element, a lawn enhancement plan based on the vegetation specifications and the zone data, the lawn enhancement plan includes an application time frame and an application frequency for applying one or more treatments to the lawn and a watering plan for the lawn; transmitting, to a sprinkler controller, the watering plan for execution by the sprinkler controller; and updating, by the processing element, the lawn enhancement plan based on application information corresponding to an application of the one or more treatments to the lawn, wherein the application information is based on one or more of the watering plan or information received from a user device.

Abstract: Tracking a filter lifespan in a fluid supply system includes determining specifications of a filter. A flow detection device determines fluid characteristics of fluid flowing through the filter, where the fluid characteristics comprise fluid flow data. The fluid flow data is analyzed to determine fluid flow through the filter. A lifespan stage of the filter is determined based on the fluid flow through the filter.
