Desert Turf Timer

App Concept

An automated irrigation scheduler specifically for hot, arid climates that cycles on and off every few minutes to keep Bermuda grass seed constantly moist without overwatering or runoff. It adjusts based on real-time soil moisture, temperature, and evaporation rate, so you can seed successfully without babysitting a hose.

Key Features

Weather-driven scheduling with short, frequent water bursts
Soil moisture sensor integration to prevent overwatering
10-zone controller for different lawn sections
Mobile app with alerts when seed bed is drying out

Target Users: Homeowners in hot, arid regions (e.g., Phoenix, Las Vegas) seeding Bermuda grass, with access to an irrigation system

Revenue Model: $199 one-time device + $9.99/mo cloud subscription for advanced scheduling and weather data
