Adjusting Soil Moisture Sensor Limits to Influence Irrigation

Utilize soil moisture sensor upper limit to fill soil profile to field capacity when water restrictions only allow watering 1-2 times per week: Learn more about upper threshold moisture sensor-based watering

Utilize soil moisture sensor lower limit to prevent watering if the soil hasn’t dried to a pre-determined point: Learn more about configuring lower threshold moisture sensor-based watering
