Spring is here, and as we gear up for another heat‑heavy summer, it’s clear that even our lawns are ready for a tech upgrade.
Although April showers are finally rolling in, it’s worth remembering that the summer heat isn’t far behind. Last year’s scorching temperatures pushed many lawns — and homeowners — to their limits. That’s why spring is the ideal moment to rethink how we water our outdoor spaces, especially if you’re still relying on a traditional sprinkler system.
What most people don’t realize is just how inefficient those legacy systems are. Residential lawn irrigation is one of the biggest sources of outdoor water waste. In fact:
- 30% to 50% of all domestic water use in summer goes directly to lawn irrigation
- The average American family uses 320 gallons of water per day, about 30 percent of which is devoted to outdoor uses.
- A large portion of that is lost to overwatering, runoff, evaporation, and poorly targeted spray patterns
It’s a staggering amount, and most of it isn’t helping your lawn at all.
A Smarter Way to Water This Spring
There’s a smart solution that helps both you and the environment. The OtO Smart Sprinkler makes lawn care effortless with automatic, weather‑intelligent watering schedules designed to eliminate waste. It saves time, water, and money — all without digging, trenching, or hiring an irrigation contractor.
OtO connects directly to your garden hose and uses real‑time weather data to water only when and where your lawn actually needs it. You stay fully in control through the mobile app, while OtO handles the day‑to‑day work.
Precision Watering
Customize zones and schedules right from your phone. OtO’s precision mapping ensures you water only the unique shape of your lawn . Not sidewalks, fences, or driveways. This reduces waste and lowers your water bill.
Weather‑Intelligent Automation
OtO reacts instantly to changing weather conditions, adjusting watering amounts based on rainfall, heat, humidity, and wind. Your lawn gets exactly what it needs, no more and no less.

A built‑in solar panel keeps OtO running with as little as three hours of sunlight per day. No wiring. No external power source. No maintenance headaches.
Easy, No‑Dig Installation
Setting up OtO takes only a few minutes. Simply connect your hose, link the device to your WiFi, and map your watering zones in the app.

OtO’s rotating nozzle covers up to 40 feet in every direction, reaching up to 5,000 sq ft per device. Each zone can be shaped and targeted through the app for maximum efficiency.
