PlantLink, a wireless soil monitoring system by Oso Technologies, and GreenIQ Smart Garden Hub, an internet-connected irrigation controller, partnered at the Irrigation Show to provide a water solution for landscapers and contractors.

PlantLink sensors relay the moisture needs according to plant type and real-time conditions to GreenIQ, which connects to a controlled irrigation system. GreenIQ monitors local weather patterns, so if rain is coming soon, it can hold off watering the plants automatically.

“PlantLink can work for one plant or many—indoors or out. Our partnership with GreenIQ allows our technology to do even more good for the earth by conserving water, and helps landscapers, home gardeners and contractors protect their investment,” said Mercedes Mane, CEO of Oso Technologies, maker of PlantLink.

GreenIQ is a certified WaterSense product, making the system eligible for rebates in many municipalities, including California.
