Irrigation Software Interface

A method for watering an irrigation site, comprising:

• executing irrigation software on a central irrigation controller configured to control a plurality of irrigation sprinklers;
• displaying an interface of the irrigation software with the central irrigation controller, the interface comprising:
• a graphical geographic map representing the irrigation site;
• and,
• watering area elements that each correspond to a respective geographical watering area of a corresponding one of a plurality of irrigation sprinklers located at the irrigation site;
• wherein each of the watering area elements indicate a soil moisture metric based on a representative soil moisture value calculated from a plurality of soil moisture measurements at geographic coordinate locations located within the respective geographical watering area of only the corresponding one of the plurality of irrigation sprinklers.

Irrigation software stored on a non-transitory machine-readable medium, the irrigation software comprising computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processing device of a central irrigation controller, cause the processing device to:

• control a plurality of irrigation sprinklers;
• display an interface comprising a graphical geographic map representing the irrigation site and watering area elements that each correspond to a respective geographical watering area of a corresponding one of a plurality of irrigation sprinklers located at an irrigation site;
• compute for each of the plurality of irrigation sprinklers, a soil moisture metric based on a representative soil moisture value calculated from a plurality of soil moisture measurements at geographic coordinate locations located within the respective geographical watering area of only the corresponding one of the plurality of irrigation sprinklers;
• and,
• cause each of the watering area elements to indicate the soil moisture metric associated with the corresponding irrigation sprinkler.
