A smart yard platform built to work with the devices you already own.
A lot of homeowners already have a smart sprinkler system, a mower, a few sensors, and a weather station — just not from the same brand, and not in the same app. This engagement is building the connective layer: one app that pulls every existing device into a single dashboard, uses live water flow, weather, and soil data to make real irrigation decisions instead of just displaying them, and adds camera- and sensor-based lawn health monitoring next. Currently in development — this page previews the engagement.

The challenge
Homeowners investing in smart yard equipment tend to end up with a sprinkler app, a mower app, a sensor app, and a weather app — none of which talk to each other, and none of which are worth replacing just to get one unified view. The platform needed to unify existing hardware across brands without asking anyone to buy new equipment, then go further and actually act on the combined data instead of just displaying it.
The approach
Because this engagement touches every layer — brand, site, app, backend, and AI — we're building it as one connected system from day one instead of stitching separate projects together later. Every piece is designed to feed the next: the brand explains why you don't need new hardware, the app pulls in the devices you already own, and the AI layer turns that combined data into real decisions instead of just another dashboard.
- Unified brand and marketing site built around "your existing devices, one app" — not another hardware ecosystem to buy into
- Cross-brand device integrations for sprinklers, water flow monitors, mowers, sensors, and weather stations
- Real-time dashboard with glance-able status per device and per zone
- AI layer combining live water flow, evapotranspiration, soil saturation, rainfall, and watering history to catch leaks and blockages and adjust watering automatically — decision rules, not just alerts
- Lawn health monitoring, using existing cameras and soil sensors to flag stress and over- or under-watering
- Discoverability built in from day one, not bolted on after launch
- Managed IT support lined up for when the platform goes live
Own smart devices that still can't talk to each other?
If your hardware only works well inside its own separate app, that's exactly the kind of integration layer we build.
