Blossom Smart Watering Controllers Integrate with Google Home
May 23 2017 - 02:00PM
Starting today, the Blossom Smart Watering Controller works with
the Google Assistant on Google Home, bringing the benefits of voice
control to the smart yard. The Google Assistant is already
available on more than 100M devices, and can be activated on
Blossom devices by asking your Assistant on Google Home to “Talk to
Blossom.”
Featuring Wi-Fi connectivity and a sleek, slim,
low-profile design, Blossom is a simple, cost-effective solution
that takes the guesswork out of controlling sprinklers. Tapping
into the power of cloud computing, Blossom self-programs existing
sprinklers based on local forecast and data from weather stations
and satellites – combined with user feedback – to create the ideal
watering schedule. Blossom’s technology ensures that each section
of a yard is specifically watered based on layout and
vegetation.
Built on the belief that IoT technology should
make life easier instead of more complicated, Blossom allows users
to truly ‘set it and forget it.’ Installation is easy and can be
done in as little as 15 minutes (a simple retrofit of the existing
sprinkler controller). Blossom builds a smart watering schedule via
Wi-Fi connectivity and does everything on its own.
“The Internet of Things revolution is
transforming our everyday lives – so we are making the smart yard
accessible by voice from anywhere in the home via integration with
the Google Assistant on Google Home,” said Josh Peoples, Vice
President and General Manager of Scotts, the owner of Blossom.
“With this collaboration, we are moving Blossom into the next
generation of smart home connectivity and allowing our customers to
remotely operate their devices in a variety of ways through voice
commands.”
Blossom has an extremely user-friendly
interface, is aesthetically pleasing and automates sprinklers with
real-time weather data. In addition to voice control, users can
control Blossom from their iOS or Android smartphone or tablet and
stay connected to their yard – no matter where they are.
Acquired in 2016, Blossom is part of the
ScottsMiracle-Gro family and an early launch of the Connected Yard,
its IoT solution to provide consumers with precision watering and
other guidance to achieve healthy lawns and gardens. Connected Yard
and Blossom support the company’s Water Positive ™ Landscapes
Initiative that brings water stewardship to the forefront of lawn
and garden. For more details, please visit myblossom.com.
