Sprinkler Wind Sensors

Irrigation wind sensors are devices designed to measure wind speed and automatically adjust or shut off sprinkler and irrigation systems when wind conditions would otherwise hinder your watering. The wind sensor is “always on,” continuously monitoring wind speed using an anemometer. When wind speeds exceed a set threshold (adjustable by the user), the sensor sends a signal to the irrigation controller to temporarily pause watering. This prevents water from being sprayed off-target or wasted. Then, once the wind speed drops back below the threshold, the sensor allows the irrigation system to resume watering automatically.
