Sound familiar?

More patio time. Less guessing.

The mist goes patchy.

Line pressure helps flag clogging nozzles. A filter service reminder tells you when upkeep is due. Cleaning and water treatment still matter.

It feels muggy, not cooler.

Mist above your heat index setting, then pause above your humidity limit. Misting cools best in dry heat.

The mist blows past the patio.

Skip mist above your forecast wind limit. Keep your own hours, and pause the system when you go away.

How it works

Set the hours. Let the weather decide.

Choose your schedule

Set when misting is allowed. Hot day and Party use your hours; Vacation and Off pause misting.

Check the air first

Temperature and humidity inform the heat index rule. Forecast wind can hold misting off.

Watch the line

See line pressure and filter service hours. Get alerts by push, text, email or alarm. Phone alerts need internet.

What makes it different

Your schedule stays yours.

The controller keeps the rules

Heat, humidity and schedule rules keep running if Wi-Fi or the internet drops. Wind skips need a forecast, so they need internet. Power is still required.

A complete kit of its own

Every Control Freak product is a complete kit on its own. If a Control Freak controller you already have has a free port or relay, Home Assistant can put it to work for this product too.

No subscription

Home Assistant is built in. Keep readings, rules and schedules together on your home network.

What’s included

A kit for the misting system you own.

Controller with Home Assistant built in
Outdoor power switching for the misting pump
Temperature and humidity sensor
Line pressure sensor
Zone valve connections and sensor cables

Pump, lines and nozzles are not included. Pump installation needs an outdoor rated outlet and a heavy duty pump switch fitted by an installer.

Home Assistant

The patio joins the rest of your home.

Home Assistant built in. View misting status, readings and schedules on your home network. Heat, humidity and schedule rules run on the controller, even when Wi-Fi or the internet drops.

Phone alerts need internet. A local alarm needs connected alarm equipment.

Through Home Assistant and its companion app, it works with Google Home, Siri, CarPlay and Alexa: ask Alexa or Siri whether the patio is misting, tell Google Home to pause the mist, check it from CarPlay, and get voice alerts when something is out of balance.

Honest limits

Good control still needs good conditions.

It does not soften water

Hard water can still scale up nozzles. Maintain your filter, water treatment and misting equipment.

Installation matters

The pump needs an outdoor rated outlet and a heavy duty pump switch fitted by an installer. This controller makes no pump reliability promise.

Dry heat works best

Misting cannot make humid air evaporate water well. Wind skips use forecast data, which may differ from conditions on your patio.
