Smart irrigation controller - FrankEver FK-06X Powered by Shelly

FrankEver Sprinkler Controller FK-06X, powered by Shelly, is a smart 6-zone irrigation controller designed for gardens and green spaces where full automation of watering is wanted. Each of the 6 zones can be configured independently, with its own name, watering duration and flow settings, providing granular control over the entire irrigation system.

The device offers weather-based automation, adjusting the watering schedule according to the temperature and rainfall of the last 24 hours, avoiding unnecessary watering on rainy days and saving water. Its 24V AC outputs for solenoid valves make it compatible with most standard irrigation systems in residential gardens.

Being a Shelly device, it works without a hub, with control both via the cloud and the Shelly Smart Control app and through local web access, and integrates easily with Home Assistant, MQTT and the rest of the Shelly ecosystem. Compatibility with Alexa and Google Home also allows voice control of the irrigation system.

Please note: installation of the solenoid valves and connection to the water supply must be carried out according to the manufacturer's instructions; the controller itself only handles the electrical control of the 24V AC valves.

Practical use cases

• Controls the garden irrigation system directly from the app, with no need to open/close taps manually.
• Can be scheduled to start watering early in the morning or late in the evening, when evaporation is minimal, saving water.
• Can be integrated with rain or soil moisture sensors to skip watering automatically when it is not needed.
• Useful for gardens or green spaces left unattended during holidays.
