Sustainable residential yard flood irrigation valve system with controller

A sustainable residential yard flood irrigation valve safety system comprising:

• a lower bracket configured to physically engage a water flood irrigation feed pipe of a traditional residential flood irrigation system, the lower bracket comprising at least one post receiver;
• a mounting post engaged with the post receiver and extending upward from the lower bracket, the mounting post comprising a driver support arm attached to the mounting post;
• a driver motor mounted to the driver support arm and configured to rotatably drive a first end of a driver arm removably coupled to the driver motor through a universal joint attached to the driver motor, wherein the driver arm comprises a slot at a second end configured to receive a manual twist handle of a flood irrigation valve of the traditional residential flood irrigation system and rotate the manual twist handle as the first end of the driver arm rotates;
• an electronic controller configured to receive commands through a wireless communication network and to selectively activate and deactivate the driver motor and to cause the driver motor to selectively rotate in both clockwise and counterclockwise rotational directions in response to the received commands in order to move the flood irrigation valve of the traditional residential flood irrigation system to either of a closed state and an open state;
• a camera, responsive to the electronic controller and coupled to the mounting post, the camera configured to capture at least one image of the flood irrigation valve at one or more predetermined select times in relation to the flood irrigation valve being moved at least toward its closed state;
• and
• a water alarm configured to notify the electronic controller when a water level about a water sensor associated with the water alarm has reached a predetermined height.

A sustainable residential yard flood irrigation valve safety system comprising:

• a lower bracket configured to positionally fix the sustainable residential yard flood irrigation valve safety system in relation to a water flood irrigation feed pipe of a traditional residential flood irrigation system;
• a mounting post extending upward from the lower bracket, the mounting post comprising a driver support arm attached to the mounting post;
• a driver motor coupled to the driver support arm and configured to rotatably drive a first end of a driver arm extending downward from the driver support arm, a second end of the driver arm configured to engage a manual twist handle of a flood irrigation valve of the traditional residential flood irrigation system and rotate the manual twist handle as the first end of the driver arm rotates;
• an electronic controller configured to selectively operate the driver motor to selectively rotate the driver motor in either a clockwise or a counterclockwise rotational direction to move the flood irrigation valve to either of a closed state or an open state;
• and
• a water alarm configured to indicate when a water level about a water sensor associated with the water alarm has reached a predetermined height and initiate a notice through the electronic controller that the water level has reached the predetermined height.
