Press release (4876 Characters)Plain text download

The digital world has long entered our gardens. With the comprehensive GARDENA smart system, owners have an overview of their garden anytime and anywhere via an app and can operate and monitor all integrated devices at the tap of a finger whenever and wherever they like.

For garden owners who want to connect to individual devices such as their robotic lawnmowers or water control systems easily and from a short distance and also to operate them comfortably via app, GARDENA now offers various products with Bluetooth connection.

To operate them, all you need is a Bluetooth connection and the new GARDENA Bluetooth App on your smartphone or tablet. This is available free of charge for iOS and Android. With this, Bluetooth connection is possible directly; no further technology is required. The devices can be easily configured with a tap of the app from a distance of up to 10 metres, allowing you quick and simple control from the comfort of your deckchair.

Easy-to-operate irrigation and robotic mowing
Among the new GARDENA Bluetooth products is the Water Control Bluetooth. Directly connected to a water tap, it not only facilitates efficient and economical use of water, but also provides plants with optimal and reliable supplies. Once set up, it manages up to three independent irrigation plans, while garden owners can devote themselves to other tasks. In combination with the wired Soil Moisture Sensor, irrigation becomes more resource-friendly and is simply paused when the soil is sufficiently moist to not need watering. An underground multi-channel control system lends itself to the irrigation of several garden areas independently of each other. Consisting of any number of the new 9 V Bluetooth Irrigation Valves, even large irrigation systems can now be operated conveniently by battery and app.

The new GARDENA SILENO minimo Robotic Lawnmower is another one of the Bluetooth products. It is available in two model variants, for 250 and 500 square metres of lawn. Schedules and other settings can be adjusted via the app for this device too. All SILENO city and life models can also be operated with this new app from the next gardening season. This also applies to those purchased before 2021. Excluded from this are the smart models.

The Bluetooth devices can all be operated via the app, but they cannot be interconnected. You are only connected to the app if you have an active Bluetooth connection. The new Bluetooth devices cannot be combined with the GARDENA smart system.
