A beautiful terrace garden brings greenery, fresh air, and a relaxing atmosphere to your home. However, maintaining healthy plants requires regular watering, which can become challenging when you have a busy schedule or travel frequently.
With a Wi-Fi motorized ball valve, you can automate your terrace garden irrigation and control water flow directly from your smartphone. Sensoware’s Valvon smart motorized valve makes garden watering more convenient by allowing you to open or close the water supply remotely and schedule watering according to your plants’ needs.
Why Automate Your Terrace Garden Watering?
Traditional terrace garden watering often involves manually opening a tap, connecting a hose, or spending time watering individual plants. Forgetting to water can cause plants to dry out, while leaving the water running for too long can lead to unnecessary water consumption.
A smart irrigation system helps overcome these challenges by providing better control over when and how long water flows to your plants.
Whether you have a small collection of potted plants or a large rooftop vegetable garden, automatic irrigation can simplify your daily gardening routine.
How Does a Wi-Fi Motorized Ball Valve Work?
A Wi-Fi motorized ball valve is an electrically operated valve that controls water flow through a pipeline. Unlike a traditional manual valve, it uses a motorized actuator to open or close the water supply.
When connected to your home Wi-Fi network, a compatible Valvon valve can be controlled through the Sensoware mobile app.
For a terrace garden, the installation is straightforward:
Water Tank → PVC Pipeline → Valvon Motorized Ball Valve → Garden Hose or Drip Irrigation → Plants
The valve is installed in the water supply pipeline, while its outlet connects to a garden hose or drip irrigation system.
When the valve opens, water flows to the plants. When it closes, the water supply stops.
Control Your Terrace Garden Watering from Anywhere
Imagine being away from home and remembering that your terrace plants need watering.
Instead of worrying about your garden, simply open the Sensoware app, select your Valvon valve, and turn on the water supply.
With the Sensoware app, you can:
- Open or close the valve remotely using your smartphone.
- Schedule automatic watering at selected times.
- Monitor valve feedback to check whether the valve is open or closed.
- Share device access with family members.
- Manage watering conveniently without manually operating the valve.
Remote operation requires the valve to have a working internet connection.
Schedule Automatic Watering for Your Plants
One of the most useful features of a smart irrigation system is scheduled watering.
For example, you can configure your terrace garden irrigation to operate every morning.
Example watering schedule:
| Action | Time |
|---|---|
| Open valve | 6:00 AM |
| Water plants | 15 minutes |
| Close valve | 6:15 AM |
| Repeat | Every day |
You can adjust the schedule depending on the type of plants, weather conditions, water pressure, and irrigation system.
A properly configured watering schedule helps maintain consistent irrigation without requiring daily manual intervention.
Combine Valvon with Drip Irrigation
Drip irrigation is an effective way to water terrace gardens because it delivers water directly near the roots of plants.
By connecting a Valvon motorized ball valve to a drip irrigation network, you can automate watering for multiple plants through a single valve.
This arrangement is particularly useful for:
- Terrace vegetable gardens
- Flowering plants and ornamental gardens
- Rooftop grow bags and planter boxes
- Home kitchen gardens
- Balcony gardens
- Small nurseries
For larger gardens, separate irrigation zones can be created using multiple valves.
Solar-Powered Smart Garden Irrigation
For terrace gardens where a convenient electrical connection is unavailable, a suitable solar-powered system can provide an alternative power source.
A solar panel, charging controller, and rechargeable battery can supply power to a compatible Valvon actuator, provided the system is correctly sized for its electrical requirements.
This arrangement can be useful for rooftop installations, remote gardens, and locations where running additional power cables is inconvenient.
Solar power and Wi-Fi connectivity serve different purposes: the solar system supplies electricity, while Wi-Fi enables remote communication.
