Overview

Hydrawise is a high-end smart irrigation system designed to bridge the gap between complex engineering and effortless gardening. In a world where water conservation and remote management are becoming essential, this app provides homeowners with a professional-grade tool to automate, monitor, and optimize their outdoor spaces.
The app features an intuitive, data-driven interface designed for effortless garden management. It ensures that homeowners can easily monitor their irrigation systems, track weather updates, and manage watering zones with just a few taps.
The home page provides quick access to key information, visualizing exactly what is happening in your garden in real-time. The first screen covers everything from current temperature and weekly forecasts to active or scheduled irrigation zones and enabled sensors.
Flexible settings for each zone individually or all at once. Set it up once and let the system handle the rest.
Hydrawise intelligently adjusts to local weather and soil conditions, ensuring your garden gets exactly what it needs. Experience true automation that saves water while you enjoy your free time.
The Programs section allows for the creation of customized watering scenarios, offering a choice between standard time-based schedules and the intelligent Virtual Solar Sync mode.
Thanks to the Predictive Watering feature, the system automatically adjusts based on weather forecasts, skipping cycles during rain or increasing intensity during heatwaves above 30°C. This ensures professional-grade garden care without the need for daily manual intervention.

New vision. Process.

I redesigned the app’s architecture and overhauled the navigation menu. I organized it into logical blocks and placed everything at the bottom for easy, one-handed use. The home screen is now much more informative: you can instantly see which zone is currently watering or skipped, along with the remaining time. It also shows active sensors, which can be quickly toggled off if needed.

Branding

The visual style is now more distinct and intuitive. Instead of the dull blue, I chose a deep green — the color of healthy grass and plants. This is the perfect fit for an irrigation system; it serves as visual proof that the system is working and that with Hydrawise, your garden will truly bloom and grow.
The logo underwent a redesign to become sleeker and simpler, ensuring it is more memorable and recognizable without losing the essence of its previous concept.

Key takeaways

Refreshed the Logo: The logo was redesigned to be sleeker and more minimalist, ensuring better memorability while preserving the core "leaf-in-a-drop" concept.
Data-Driven Dashboard: The new interface provides real-time visualization of garden status, from precise weather forecasts to active irrigation zones, all accessible at a glance.
Intelligent Automation: With smart features like Predictive Watering, the system knows exactly when to skip a cycle. This cut water use by up to 48%, which is a huge win for both the user and the planet.
"Set It and Forget It" Philosophy: The goal was to let the user set their schedule once and let the system handle everything else, so they can just relax and enjoy their green lawn.

Thanks for watching 💚
