The Shelly - FrankEver Sprinkler Controller FK‑06X is a 6-zone Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth-based irrigation controller, making it an excellent choice for automating watering in gardens, greenhouses, or smaller agricultural areas. Each zone can be independently controlled, allowing for personalized schedules and water supply settings, which makes it ideal for managing various plant zones. It operates without the need for a central hub, working standalone via the Shelly Smart Control app or web interface, and it can also be manually controlled with built-in buttons.
One of the device’s key advantages is the integrated weather API, which automatically adjusts the watering schedule in case of rain or heatwaves. This not only saves water but also makes the system truly smart. The 24 V AC outputs allow for standard solenoid valve control, ensuring easy installation and broad compatibility.
This premium Plug&Play product is built on the ShellyX platform, ensuring reliable operation, local and cloud-based control, and Bluetooth relay functionality. Thanks to its compatibility with Home Assistant and MQTT, it's also an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts.
