Aiper expands Smart Yard ecosystem with new garden and pool products at IFA Berlin

Aiper is using IFA Berlin 2026 to widen its Smart Yard ecosystem, giving users one app to manage connected pool and garden tools. The company also unveiled the IrriSense 2 SE irrigation system and Scuba V3 Ultra pool robot, both built to work inside that platform.

Why it matters: - Aiper is pushing toward a single control layer for outdoor maintenance, which could cut time, water use and manual switching between separate devices and apps. - The expanded ecosystem connects pool care and garden care in one system, a sign that home outdoor automation is moving beyond single-use gadgets.

What happened: - Aiper introduced an expanded Smart Yard ecosystem at IFA Berlin 2026, running Sept. 4-8 in Berlin. - The platform lets users manage pool and garden equipment from one interface through the Aiper app. - Aiper also unveiled two new compatible products: the IrriSense 2 SE irrigation system and the Scuba V3 Ultra pool robot.

The details: - The ecosystem is built around Aiper Intelligence of Things, or AIoT, which lets compatible devices communicate and coordinate automatically. - Weather data, user schedules and soil-sensor readings are centralized to drive system-wide automation. - The platform includes pool robots, irrigation systems, robotic lawn mowers, soil sensors, weather stations and solar panels. - Users can build routines for combined pool and garden care without moving between multiple apps. - Daily Care coordinates mowing, watering, soil tracking and pool maintenance. - If a soil sensor detects that an area is already wet, the system can pause scheduled watering. - Climate Care adjusts maintenance plans based on weather changes and can pause watering or pool cleaning when rain is detected. - Vacation Care manages garden and pool upkeep during user absences based on the user’s calendar. - The system is designed to operate independently and call for human intervention only when needed.

The details: - The IrriSense 2 SE is a 3-in-1 smart irrigation system for multi-zone watering. - The device combines a timer, sprinkler and solenoid valve in one unit. - Aiper says the IrriSense 2 SE measures 30 centimeters and weighs 2.6 kilograms. - Installation is advertised at under 10 minutes. - The Smart App Center lets users control the device remotely, create custom garden maps, set routines and monitor operating data in real time. - The IrriSense 2 SE can also run on Aiper’s solar panel. - The sprinkler uses EvenRain™ technology and covers up to 445 square meters with a throw range of up to 12 meters. - Multi-zone watering supports up to six zones. - Paired with weather-based scheduling and Aiper soil-sensor data, the system is said to reduce water use by up to 40% versus a conventional in-ground irrigation system. - Aiper’s solar panel can power IrriSense devices for up to nine hours without grid connection, and the devices remain operational while recharging. - The Scuba V3 Ultra is positioned as the world’s first 6-in-1 cognitive AI pool robot. - Its AI Patrol Cleaning system combines environmental sensing and route planning to select a cleaning mode based on user preferences, local weather trends and pool dimensions. - Aiper says the robot can support a seven-day cleaning program without manual intervention. - Two cameras provide depth perception and distance detection above and below the waterline, with a two-meter range and a 0.1-second response time. - The robot can recognize more than 20 types of debris and adjust cleaning intensity accordingly. - Captured images are not stored or sent to the cloud. - The Scuba V3 Ultra cleans the pool floor, walls, waterline, surface and shallow areas as low as 20 centimeters. - The robot includes a chlorine tablet compartment as part of its 6-in-1 setup. - Its JellyFloat™ Lift Engine is designed for efficient movement and easier resurfacing. - The robot delivers up to 240 minutes of floor-cleaning runtime. - A dual pump provides suction power of up to 32,200 liters per hour. - The MicroMesh™ multi-stage filtration system uses 180- and 3-micron levels to trap large debris and fine particles. - Users can start cleaning with one button or through the Smart App Center, which centralizes cleaning functions and device status. - The 13-kilogram robot resurfaces automatically to make removal easier and drains water quickly after a cycle.

Between the lines: - Aiper is clearly trying to move from standalone hardware into a broader outdoor operating system. - The product launch suggests the company sees connected irrigation and pool care as the most immediate way to make its Smart Yard platform more valuable. - The water-saving claims and weather-aware automation also fit growing pressure on homeowners to use outdoor resources more efficiently.

What's next: - Aiper is using IFA Berlin as the main launch stage for the expanded ecosystem and the two new products. - The company’s next step will be turning the Smart Yard concept into a daily-use platform that can hold both pool and garden users inside the same app. - Broader adoption will likely depend on how well the connected devices work together in real homes and how much manual setup they still require.

The bottom line: - Aiper is betting that the future of outdoor maintenance is not just smarter devices, but one connected system for the whole yard.
