Ecowitt GW1100 Wi-Fi Gateway

The hub every serious lawn needs.

The gateway that pairs with Ecowitt soil-moisture and soil-temp sensors and pipes live data into TurfPulse. One gateway supports up to 16 WH51 probes — start with one zone, expand as you go.

Ecowitt WS90 7-in-1 Weather Station

Your own GDD engine, right in the yard.

Haptic rain sensor + ultrasonic wind + temp/RH/UV/solar radiation in one mast-mount unit. Feeds TurfPulse the on-site weather that drives GDD, disease pressure, and spray-window scoring — instead of interpolating from an airport 8 miles away.

Ecowitt WH51 Soil Moisture Sensors (4-pack)

Stop guessing. Water the lawn, not the forecast.

Wireless soil-moisture probes you bury at root depth. TurfPulse converts the % reading into an irrigation decision (dry / low / optimal / wet / saturated) so you know exactly when to run zones.

Ecowitt WH34 Soil Temperature Probe

Pre-emergent timing, finally dialed in.

Real soil temperature at 4" — the single best leading indicator for pre-emergent applications, warm-season green-up, and overseeding windows. TurfPulse cross-references against your GDD model.

Ecowitt WH40 Wireless Rain Gauge

Rain-skip that actually reflects YOUR yard.

Self-emptying tipping-bucket rain gauge. Pairs with the GW1100 so TurfPulse knows exactly how much your lawn caught — not what the airport got. Drives smarter irrigation skip + disease-pressure accumulation on the dashboard.

Orbit B-hyve Smart Hose Faucet Timer

Automate what you now know.

Once TurfPulse tells you WHEN to water, a B-hyve smart timer makes it happen automatically — Wi-Fi app control, rain skip, and cycle-and-soak scheduling to kill runoff. Perfect for homeowners without in-ground irrigation.

Works with /irrigation recommenderShop on Amazon

Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller

Native TurfPulse integration. The closed-loop unlock.

The only smart controller TurfPulse natively talks to. Save your PAT once and TurfPulse can push entire weekly water-budget plans in one click, run zones on demand, set rain delays, and execute the recurring smart-skip scheduler we built — auto-skip on rain forecast, city blackout windows, or soil moisture readings. The thing every TurfPulse Pro user eventually buys.

How the loop works
  1. 1. Measure. WH51 probes tell TurfPulse what your soil is actually doing. WH34 pins down soil temperature so pre-emergent windows aren't guesswork.
  2. 2. Analyze. A MySoil test gives us your N-P-K and pH. Upload the PDF; we parse it into a fertilizer plan.
  3. 3. Act. The B-hyve timer executes the irrigation plan TurfPulse generates — automatic skip on rain, cycle-and-soak to kill runoff.
Done-for-you Lawn Care

Or just have someone else ship the products.

If sourcing your own bag of pre-emergent and a quart of PGR isn't your thing — that's totally fine. Several subscription services do the product part for you. TurfPulse still tells you when to apply whatever shows up at your door.
