Smart sports pitch irrigation

Align irrigation with bookings, weather and pitch conditions. SmartClub G1 connects your club's schedule to the irrigation controls.

More than a fixed watering schedule

The booking is the starting point. SmartClub G1 automatically retrieves the schedule from connected club software, including the changes and cancellations supported by the selected connection.

This allows the local controls to align irrigation with matches and training. The aim is a suitable moisture balance with less manual coordination. Weather, pitch conditions and installation limits remain decisive.

Example schedule

Bookings in your club software

  1. Training

    Scheduled pitch use

  2. Free time slot

    Time to assess irrigation conditions

  3. Match

    Scheduled pitch use

Free time does not automatically mean watering. The local controls check settings and available weather or field data.

From a booking to irrigation

SmartClub G1 connects bookings to the local controls. The controls determine when irrigation may start; the controller performs it. G1 does not replace the controller or independently determine water needs.

  1. Club software

    Supplies bookings and supported changes.

  2. SmartClub G1 gateway between club software and local controls

    SmartClub G1

    Connects booking data to the local controls.

  3. Local controls

    Check the schedule against settings and available weather or field data.

  4. Irrigation controller

    Performs irrigation when the configured controls allow it.

The components work together

The available equipment determines the setup, for example with a Loxone Miniserver as the local controls. Not every application needs the same sensors.

  • Club software

    Supplies bookings, changes and cancellations supported by the connection.

  • SmartClub G1

    Connects the schedule to the local controls.

  • Controls

    Enforce times, conditions and installation limits.

  • Controller

    Operates valves, sprinklers and any pump.

  • Weather and sensors

    Supply rainfall, temperature or soil moisture where available.

What you can coordinate

The rules follow your pitch management and the capabilities of the connected equipment.

  • Avoid scheduled play

    No watering during matches, training or individual bookings in the schedule.

  • Time before the next player

    Leave enough time between irrigation and the next planned period of play.

  • Account for rain and frost

    Postpone or block irrigation when the required weather data is available.

  • Assess moisture balance

    Use suitable measurements and settings for the surface.

  • Adjust to the season

    Align times and zones with maintenance and expected occupancy.

Start with your pitch and installation

We assess each installation individually. Compatibility with Hydrawise, Rain Bird, Hunter or Toro, for example, must be confirmed for the model and connection. A brand name alone is not a guarantee.

  • Controller and zones

    Which components are present, how are they controlled and what field data is available?

  • Schedule and maintenance

    Bookings describe planned use, not actual presence. Local safeguards and maintenance requirements remain decisive.

  • Management and outages

    New bookings and online weather data are not immediately available during an outage. We agree how the controls handle outdated data and manual intervention.
