Intelligent technology for gardening

Smart Garden

The garden is more than just greenery - it's your retreat to recharge your batteries. Let technology take over and enjoy your oasis of calm. A smart garden makes it possible: robots mow the lawn, watering is child's play and the lighting adapts to your mood. Here you will find tips on how to transform your garden into a smart feel-good lounge and garden office.

  • A smart garden networks your devices and systems with modern technology to automate and optimise gardening. Sensors and intelligent devices collect data about the environment and the needs of the plants and then automatically control watering, lighting, lawn care and much more.

  • A smart garden uses technologies such as automatic watering systems for the lawn, smart garden lighting with a timer and plant sensors to make garden maintenance more efficient and environmentally friendly. Robotic lawn mowers make lawn care easier. By integrating them into smart home systems, you can conveniently control and monitor all devices via apps. This saves you time, water and energy and optimises your garden.

  • Current garden trends are focussing on environmentally friendly design, green roofs and practical garden offices, while the wilderness is making its way onto the doorstep. Natural materials such as wood and stone are in vogue, cement and plastic are not. Garden furniture and houses are kept in dark colours so that colourful flowers and grasses really come into their own. Using water sparingly is important, and drought-resistant plants make the garden fit for the future.

Facts

The advantages of smart gardening

Convenience and time savings: Smart systems automate tedious gardening tasks such as watering, mowing and lighting, saving you time and effort. So you can enjoy your garden without having to spend hours weeding or mowing the lawn.

Optimum plant care: Sensors measure soil moisture, light conditions and nutrient levels to optimise plant care. This means your plants receive exactly the amount of water and nutrients they need and thrive magnificently.

Conserving resources: intelligent systems help to use water and energy efficiently. Sensor-controlled irrigation avoids unnecessary watering and smart lighting switches on and off automatically when it gets light or dark.

Flexibility and control: Smart garden systems can be operated and controlled from anywhere using an app or voice control. This means you can keep an eye on your garden even when you're on holiday and make adjustments when you're not at home.
