For the latest innovation in sprinkler system technology, our selection of sprinkler sensors will keep your plants watered without fear of flooding them. Designed to meticulously monitor soil moisture, rainfall, wind rates, and freezing weather, these sprinkler system sensors are essential for maintaining optimal irrigation levels. The incorporation of rain sensors, rain and freeze sensors, wind sensors, and soil moisture sensors ensures your lawn receives the perfect amount of water, regardless of the weather conditions.
The Best Rain Sensors for Sprinkler Systems Delivered Fast
Installing one of several sensors for your sprinkler system can promote a healthier landscape. A Hunter Rain Sensor, for example, will automatically shut off your watering system when it starts to rain. This state-of-the-art technology can prevent wasteful watering and save you money. Sprinkler sensors measure specific environmental conditions and send that data to the irrigation controller, even when you’re miles away from home.

5 Types of Sprinkler Sensors:
Rainy precipitation - Rain sensors detect rainfall and automatically shut off the irrigation system to prevent overwatering.
Freezing temperatures - These sensors stop the sprinkler system from operating when temperatures drop below a certain threshold, typically near freezing.
High wind speed - Wind sensors detect high wind speeds and shut off the sprinkler system to prevent water from being blown away or unevenly distributed.
Soil saturation - These sensors measure the moisture level in the soil to ensure that watering only occurs when the soil is dry or below a set threshold.
Water usage - By providing real-time data on water usage, this sensor helps optimize the efficiency of the irrigation system.
Yes. Rain sensors work by detecting rain in one of three ways. Some have a water collecting basin, others detect changes in conductivity, while hygroscopic disk sensors expand when wetted. Hygroscopic disk sensors are the most common since they are harder to disable through everyday conditions and use.
How does a rain sensor work on a sprinkler system?
Rain sensors detect when it is raining, corresponding with your controller to turn off shut-off valves. This prevents unnecessary watering, saving money and helping reduce strain on the mainline, while also maintaining the health of your lawn. They are the perfect green solution for irrigating grass.
How long do sprinkler rain sensors last?
Most weather sensors for sprinkler systems will last upwards of 5 to 10 years. Sensors exposed to extreme weather (heavy rain, intense sunlight, high winds) may experience faster wear and tear, reducing their lifespan. Still, based on the amount of water you’ll save each day, soil moisture sensors will usually pay for themselves before they need to be replaced, especially in commercial farming and irrigation setups.
Can I install sprinkler sensors myself?
Many sprinkler sensors are designed for DIY installation, but the complexity depends on the sensor type and the irrigation system. Rain sensors are often easy to install, while soil moisture sensors may require digging and more precise placement. Feel free to contact our team if you’re unsure about the installation process for any of our weather sensors.
Are rain sensors worth it?
Rain sensors are worth the investment, especially if you live in an area where it rains often. Rain sensors save around 15-20 dollars each time it rains and your sprinkler system shuts off. After just a few short showers where your sprinklers would have been on, your investment will have been repaid. Finally, these sensors work for years on end.
