The Gardena Smart Irrigation System has been updated with Apple HomeKit support, reports macerkopf.de.

"As a beta tester, we have been using HomeKit for Gardena Smart System since the end of last year. Since then, the system has been running very reliably. HomeKit is now available to all Gardena Smart Home users. Your Gardena Smart System Gateway should have already updated automatically. If this is not the case, then you have to manually trigger the update via the Gardena Smart System App. The individual components (sockets, sensors, etc.) must be manually updated with a new HomeKit firmware. This is also done via the app."



The following products have been updated with Apple HomeKit support.
Gardena Smart Water Control
Gardena Smart Sensor
Gardena Smart Irrigation Control
Gardena Smart Power Adapter

Gardena Smart Irrigation Control:
GARDENA smart Irrigation Control allows flexible control of up to six separate irrigation zones with the system’s smart App, for example in the GARDENA Micro-Drip-System or Sprinklersystem. The system enables individual watering intervals to be regulated to also ensure optimal irrigation of planting areas that have different water requirements. In connection with a GARDENA smart Sensor, unnecessary watering is prevented for optimal water management. The smart Gateway ensures central networking, which creates an Internet connection using an existing router. In this way, it acts as the core of the smart system to permit cable-free network communications between all GARDENA smart system devices in the garden and the GARDENA smart App.
