摘要： The present invention provides systems and methods that identify a flow anomaly to an operator or other person by: executing a first device of a plurality of water using devices; receiving flow data on a quantity of water used by the first device during a time period required to generate a first water use signature from the first device; comparing a future water use pattern against the first water use signature to identify a flow anomaly with the first device; and providing information regarding the flow anomaly to the person. Identifying anomalies can be useful in numerous ways, including discovering problems that need fixing, reducing waste, and even calculating appropriate irrigation application rates.

摘要： An irrigation controller (200) receives temperature data, and at least partly derives an estimated solar radiation value from the temperature data. A regression model stored in a memory (220) of the irrigation controller (200) operates upon a data point from the estimated solar radiation to estimate an evapotranspiration rate, which is used to affect an irrigation schedule executed by the controller (200). The regression model is preferably based upon a comparison of historical ETo values against corresponding historical environmental values, with the data advantageously spanning a time period of at least two days, and more preferably at least one month. Data from one or more environmental factors may also be used, including especially estimated solar radiation, temperature, wind speed, humidity, and soil moisture, and so forth. Values relating the environmental factor(s) may enter the controller from a local sensor (240), a distal signal source, or both.

摘要： The present invention provides a smart flow anomaly detector for a liquid distribution system comprising a flow measuring device that derives a liquid flow value for both automatically operated fixtures and manually operated fixtures. A microprocessor is in communication with the flow measuring device and is programmed to use the liquid flow value and a threshold liquid flow value to determine whether a flow anomaly exists. If a flow anomaly exists, the automatically operated fixtures and/or manually operated fixtures may be shut off and there after liquid flow to the automatically operated fixtures will be controlled based on a comparison of the liquid flow value attributed to the automatically operated fixtures and the threshold liquid flow value. Additionally, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention the microprocessor will generate a warning to alert the user when a flow anomaly occurs in the liquid distribution system.
