The device works via a radio system and works with RainPoint irrigation controllers (sold separately or included in the system package). This allows for smart irrigation management without manual intervention. The sensor offers adjustable rain sensitivity from 3 mm to 19 mm, allowing you to adapt its operation to the needs of your garden and the type of plants. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"A smart watering controller connected to a garden hose works with a rain sensor mounted on the house\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.innpro.pl\/22060\/29078\/3.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e Automatic response to rain and resource saving\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e The device automatically interrupts the watering cycle when it starts to rain, helping to reduce water consumption and protect the soil from over-watering. Depending on the system specifications, this can reduce water consumption by up to approximately 50% compared to standard irrigation without rainfall control. When the rain stops, the sensor automatically resumes operation when the moisture-absorbing elements dry out, without the need for manual resetting. This solution increases user comfort and ensures that the garden is only watered when it actually needs it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"A rain sensor installed on the roof of the house controls a smart watering controller during rain\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.innpro.pl\/22060\/29078\/1.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e Adjustable sensitivity and response time control\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e The RainPoint sensor allows you to adjust the response to rainfall with four sensitivity levels: 3 mm, 6 mm, 13 mm and 19 mm. This allows the user to determine the amount of rain at which the system should stop. In addition, the ventilation ring allows you to adjust the drying rate of the hygroscopic discs, which affects how quickly the system resumes operation. In practice, this allows you to better adapt the operation of the device to the climate and the individual needs of your plants. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"A shot of a rain sensor installed near a gutter, with a graphic showing the rain sensitivity setting\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.innpro.pl\/22060\/29078\/2.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e Weatherproof design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e The sensor is designed for outdoor use and is resistant to typical weather conditions such as sun, rain and wind. The materials used and the housing protect the electronics from damage due to exposure to UV radiation and moisture. As a result, the device can operate for a longer period of time in various garden locations such as building walls, fences or roof eaves. The robust construction increases operational reliability in changing weather conditions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"RainPoint weather sensor mounted on the facade of a house, with sun, rain and wind icons\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.innpro.pl\/22060\/29078\/4.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e Easy installation and quick system setup\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e The sensor is installed using basic household tools such as a screwdriver and drill, allowing installation in just a few minutes. The kit includes a bracket and fasteners that allow the device to be securely attached to the desired location. Installation does not require specialized knowledge, but requires a stable mounting on a vertical or horizontal surface (e.g. facade or pillar). This ensures that the sensor remains stable and accurately measures precipitation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Examples of installing a RainPoint rain sensor on a house facade and fence\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.innpro.pl\/22060\/29078\/5.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e Smart ecosystem and integration capabilities\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e The sensor works with RainPoint controllers to create a complete automatic garden irrigation system. When connected to a compatible Wi-Fi gateway, the device status can also be viewed on the mobile app, allowing remote monitoring of the system. The user can check whether watering has been paused or resumed without having to physically inspect the installation. This solution increases control over the garden and makes it easier to manage irrigation from anywhere. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"A smart garden irrigation system controlled by a mobile app in a modern home\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.innpro.pl\/22060\/29078\/6.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e Included in the kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wireless rain sensor HCS044FRF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hygroscopic discs x 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mounting bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Screws and wall anchors x 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e User manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Warranty card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"table-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e Manufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e RainPoint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e Model\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e HCS044FRF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e wireless rain sensor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e Rain sensitivity area\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 3mm \/ 6mm \/ 13mm \/ 19mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e Adjusting the drying time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e yes (ventilation ring)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e Communication\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e radio (RF)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e Intended use\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e RainPoint automatic irrigation systems\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e Resistance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e weather conditions (UV, rain, wind)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Warranty: 12 months\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The text is machine translated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIt is important to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Before choosing a Rainpoint rain sensor to add to your irrigation system, it is crucial to understand how it fits into your existing configuration and what its real value is in practice.
