     Travel and Leisure customers voted
     Kauri Cliffs ‘Best Small, High-end
     Resort of the Year’ for Australia and
     New Zealand, and fourth ‘Best Resort’

     honour from a discerning group.

     Tara Iti debuted at 29th on Golf

Windross Farm In Total Control
Thanks to TORO Lynx with Spectrum
WatchDog Weather Station

      ost of the 2017 LPGA Mckayson
 NZ Women’s Open, the new Windross
 Farm golf course in South Auckland
 uses a Spectrum WatchDog weather
 station integrated with their TORO
 Lynx control system. This ensures
 maximum watering efficiency.

 The Spectrum WatchDog system
 enables Dave Smith and his team to
 use real-time weather data and
 plug-in sensors (soil moisture
 and temperature) to manage
 irrigation scheduling. The
 system includes a mid-range
 radio for transmitting data
 wirelessly.

 With SpecConnect software and
 web portal, all weather data can be
 viewed and analysed remotely on a
 smart phone or similar device. The
 system can be customised to provide
 alerts when certain environmental
 conditions exist and the weather
 stations can be used stand-alone.

 As Windross Farm has found, a
 Spectrum WatchDog weather station is
 a critical tool in reducing water use.

                                                                 Like us on
