1. A landscape sprinkling system comprising:
- one or more sprinkler solenoid valves that are each coupled between a water supply and one or more sprinkler heads;
a controller coupled to the one or more sprinkler solenoid valves; and
one or more remote fire/smoke sensors that communicate with the controller and transmit an alarm signal to the controller in the event that fire and/or smoke are detected thereby;
and wherein the controller is configured to process the alarm signal and activate selected solenoid valves to allow water to be sprinkled onto selected areas of the landscape.

Abstract
Landscape sprinkling systems that incorporate fire sensors, optional moisture sensors, and control electronics that continuously monitor the perimeter of a property for fire and/or smoke, and optionally low soil moisture conditions. When an alarm is detected, the systems automatically turn on selected sprinkler valves to water areas that would be most impacted by a fire or are in need of water. Wireless and wired system embodiments are disclosed.
