irrigationSupported

Irrigationsupported is a descriptive attribute used in hardware, software, and data schemas to indicate whether a system or device can manage irrigation processes. It is often implemented as a boolean flag in APIs, device descriptors, or configuration files. When set to true, the entity is capable of initiating, scheduling, and terminating irrigation events, typically through integration with valves, pumps, soil moisture sensors, and weather data. Systems with irrigation support may offer features such as automated scheduling, flow control, soil moisture-based watering, zone management, and event logging.

In practice, irrigation support is common in smart irrigation controllers, farm management platforms, and IoT sensor networks. In data models, irrigation support is distinguished from other capabilities such as weather data access or data logging; a device could be irrigation-supported while lacking remote control interfaces, or vice versa. The attribute may be named irrigationSupported, irrigationsupported, or similar depending on conventions; values are typically true/false or 1/0.

Considerations include ensuring accurate detection of support to avoid failed automation, matching device capabilities to user configurations, and handling partial support (for example, scheduling but not direct valve control). There is no universal standard for the attribute's name or representation, so developers should document semantics clearly and maintain consistency across schemas.
