Smart Yard Ecosystem: Aiper Unveils Integrated Outdoor Care Solutions at IFA Berlin 2026

Published

on

A central platform unifies smart pool and garden devices for automated yard maintenance

BERLIN, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aiper, the No. 1 brand for smart robotic pool cleaners[1] and a pioneer in smart garden solutions, will showcase the expansion of its Smart Yard Ecosystem at IFA Berlin 2026 (September 4–8). The system enables users to centrally manage previously separate areas of garden maintenance through a single platform.

An Integrated System for Effortless Maintenance

Through Aiper Intelligence of Things (AIoT), compatible devices exchange information and automatically coordinate their operations, enabling seamless and largely autonomous yard maintenance. Weather data, schedules and data from soil sensors are combined to provide the basis for intelligent automation processes across the entire system. This helps minimize maintenance effort and resource consumption.

Compatible devices within the Aiper Smart Yard Ecosystem include robotic pool cleaners, irrigation systems, robotic lawn mowers, soil sensors, weather stations and solar panels.

Through the Aiper Smart Yard Ecosystem, users can conveniently control all compatible devices via the app and set up customized routines for pool and garden maintenance. In practice, this integrated approach supports the most common everyday scenarios including Daily Care, Climate Care, and Vacation Care. Daily Care coordinates mowing, watering, soil awareness, and pool care so routine tasks happen in the right sequence, without requiring constant user input. For example, when soil sensors detect that an area is already wet, the system can pause the original irrigation plan and avoid unnecessary watering. Climate Care allows the system to adapt care plans as weather and on-site conditions change, such as pausing irrigation or pool cleaning when rain is detected. Vacation Care coordinates the yard around the user’s schedule while they are away, keeping the system running and only requiring attention when something genuinely needs it.

The latest product highlights for Aiper’s ecosystem

At IFA Berlin, Aiper is not only introducing its ecosystem as a new solution, but also unveiling new garden and pool products that are compatible with the system.

Aiper IrriSense 2 SE

The successor to the Aiper IrriSense 2 is a 3-in-1 smart multi-zone irrigation system consisting of a controller, the sprinkler itself and an electric valve. Its compact design, measuring just 30 cm and weighing only 2.6 kg, together with straightforward installation in just 10 minutes, makes the IrriSense 2 SE an easy-to-use plug-and-play solution for garden maintenance.

Using the Smart App Center, users can remotely control the Aiper IrriSense 2 SE from their smartphone. They can create customized maps and routines and monitor the corresponding data. The IrriSense 2 SE can also be powered by the Aiper Solar Panel.

The sprinkler simulates natural rainfall using EvenRain™ technology and covers an area of up to 445 m², with a spray range of up to 12 m. Plant-specific multi-zone irrigation allows users to configure up to six individual zones, addressing the different watering requirements of various plants. Combined with weather-adaptive irrigation scheduling and soil-moisture data from the Aiper Soil Sensor, the system can reduce water consumption by up to 40 percent compared with conventional in-ground irrigation systems. This is particularly relevant in areas where water use for garden irrigation is increasingly restricted.

All IrriSense devices are compatible with the powerful Aiper Solar Panel, which enables up to nine hours of operation without a connection to the power grid. The devices also remain fully operational while being charged via the solar panel.

Scuba V3 Ultra

The Scuba V3 Ultra is Aiper’s world-first cognitive, AI-powered 6-in-1 robotic pool cleaner. The V3 Ultra features Aiper’s AI Patrol Cleaning technology, which is based on environmental perception and route-planning capabilities. Together, these systems allow the robot to take user preferences, local weather patterns and pool dimensions into account and independently select the optimal cleaning mode for more efficient battery use, enabling a 7-day hands-free cleaning schedule.

Two cameras provide spatial depth perception and precise distance detection both above and below the waterline. They offer a detection range of up to two meters, a response time of 0.1 seconds and can identify more than 20 different types of debris. Cleaning performance is then adjusted based on the amount of debris detected. Images captured by the cameras are neither stored nor transferred to the cloud, helping ensure user security and privacy.

The device cleans the pool floor, walls, waterline, water surface and shallow pool areas from a water depth of 20 centimeters; a chlorine tablet compartment completes the 6-in-1 concept. The energy-efficient JellyFloat™ Lift Engine ensures reliable movement and makes it easier to lift the device out of the pool. When cleaning the pool floor, the device offers a runtime of up to 240 minutes.

A dual-pump system delivers suction performance of up to 32,200 liters per hour. The multi-stage MicroMesh™ filtration system uses 180-micron and 3-micron filtration to capture both larger debris and even the finest particles.

The device can be operated at the touch of a button or through the Smart App Center, which brings together cleaning functions and operating-status information. For easy retrieval, the 13-kilogram robot returns to the water surface and quickly drains the water it has taken in.
