What You Can Do With a Sprinkler Remote
With a sprinkler remote, you can control your irrigation system wirelessly, without having to walk back and forth to the main controller. For starters, you’ll be able to activate individual watering zones with the push of a button. Run each zone for a set amount of time, then instantly shut off the system if there's a leak or other unexpected issue. Plus, if your controller is located in a hard-to-reach area, a universal irrigation remote will provide easy access from anywhere on the property.
Sprinkler System Remote FAQs
Can I use any remote for my sprinkler system controller?
No, remotes must be compatible with the specific brand and model of your irrigation controller. Remotes and controllers use different types of signals and are usually designed to work only with matching systems. In fact, some brands build remotes that only work with their own controllers or even just specific models. Make sure to check your controller’s brand and model number before ordering an irrigation remote control.
Do all irrigation controllers work with remotes?
No, only certain models are designed to support remote operation. Many manual controllers and outdated digital controllers lack the internal hardware or software needed to pair with a remote. If you want remote capabilities, you can either upgrade to a smart controller or add a mounted receiver card if your current controller supports it.
Can I control my sprinkler system with my phone?
Some sprinkler systems are compatible with mobile devices, but that isn’t a universal feature. With a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth-enabled smart irrigation controller, you can download an app on your device to monitor and adjust your sprinklers. If your current system doesn’t support smart features, you may be able to upgrade the controller.
