At CES 2025, Aiper announced a new smart irrigation solution that can be as easy to set up as a traditional lawn sprinkler. The IrriSense Smart Irrigation Sprinkler doesn’t require any piping under the yard, and as a universal device, it doesn’t need any additional hardware to be installed on the faucet. Its targeted watering approach also limits excessive splashing, reducing water use.
The IrriSense smart sprinkler will be available starting in May 2025 for $399. It includes a 33-foot-long waterproof power cord that requires access to an outlet, but you’ll need a standard garden hose long enough to reach a faucet. Installation and setup takes about 15 minutes, according to Iper, and includes securing the IrriSense sprinkler with four stakes that can be pulled out when you need to move or temporarily remove the sprinkler to cut the grass.
The spray jet can reach up to 39 feet and cover an area of up to 4,300 square feet as it oscillates back and forth. Using the Aiper mobile app, you can customize your spray pattern by creating a manual map that pinpoints precise locations in your yard. The goal is not only to reduce water consumption, but also to help keep certain areas dry, such as the public sidewalk on your front lawn.
The IrriSense sprinkler can be scheduled via a mobile app, but it can also take into account weather conditions to further save money and prevent over-watering. There is a sensor on the sprinkler itself, as well as separate soil sensors that monitor moisture levels. If the lawn is still not properly moistened after recent rain, the scheduled watering will be skipped.
You can install multiple IrriSense sprinklers and automate them to extend the coverage area, and use them to dispense liquid fertilizer or pesticides.
