Hydrawise uses local, real-time weather forecasting and the most accurate weather stations available to fine-tune your irrigation system to current conditions. Water triggers are the settings in your Hydrawise software that can be adjusted based on your watering requirements. When a trigger met the adjusted threshold, it will make the change in the software to either adjust the watering schedule or cancel the watering.
