The Aiper IrriSense 2 is a smart sprinkler and irrigation hub designed for gardens affected by dry conditions and watering restrictions. Its aim is to remove the guesswork and physical effort of keeping plants hydrated while making every drop count.
Rain-Sensing Technology Limits Wasted Water
A core feature is the Weather-Sense Response System. Built into the device is a rain sensor that pauses scheduled watering when rain begins. The companion app also monitors local forecasts and warns of approaching showers, so a cycle can be skipped without any fiddling.
Alongside that is EvenRain technology, which produces a soft, natural-like spray intended to reduce soil erosion and runoff. Because of these features, Aiper says the system can cut water use by as much as 40%. Users can set up to 10 separate irrigation zones, directing more water to thirsty vegetables and less to drought-tolerant shrubs, with none wasted on hard surfaces.
Set-Up Takes Around 15 Minutes
Installation requires no professional help, no complex wiring and no digging. The whole process is described as taking about a quarter of an hour.
- Plug the unit into a standard outdoor power socket.
- Attach a standard garden hose to the connector.
- Connect to Wi-Fi and open the Aiper app.
- Map the garden in the app and define watering schedules.
Fully Automatic Operation
Once the initial mapping is complete, the IrriSense 2 works on its own. Watering continues whether the owner is at work, away on holiday or relaxing indoors. The app offers full remote control and sends real-time notifications about what is happening in the garden.
Designed for small to medium-sized plots, it covers roughly 113 to 201 square metres, removing the need to drag a manual sprinkler around the lawn.
Price and Final Verdict
At £368, the IrriSense 2 is a serious investment. For anyone wanting a healthy garden during dry spells without daily hose work, and with the added benefit of conserving water, it delivers a capable, set-and-forget solution.
