The Netro 'Sprite' device will analyze local weather in real-time and provide watering only when necessary. The device works with plant sensors to ensure each one gets the proper and optimal level of hydration.

One of the best features of the Netro 'Sprite' water controller is the water regulation capabilities it has; it will ensure water is only used sparingly when needed to aid areas where drought is prevalent or occurring.
