Smart home technology is moving outdoors, with Aiper unveiling its next-generation Scuba X Series pool cleaners and the IrriSense Smart Irrigation System in Sydney last week.

The launch, held at The Calyx, Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, showcased Aiper’s vision for stress-free outdoor living, alongside the company’s renewed partnership with the Sydney Sixers for the upcoming WBBL and BBL seasons.

Building on the success of its robotic pool cleaners, Aiper introduced three new models under the Scuba X banner: the X1, X1 Pro and flagship X1 Pro Max.

The top-tier X1 Pro Max (RRP $3,499.99) features 32,000 LPH suction power, eight cleaning modes, and advanced pool mapping for pools up to 300 sqm.

The X1 Pro (RRP $2,499.99) offers adaptive cleaning with up to 180 minutes of runtime, while the entry-level X1 (RRP $1,999.99) provides reliable automated cleaning for pools up to 200 sqm.

Also on show was the upgraded Surfer S2 robotic skimmer (RRP $749.99), a solar-powered unit that skims debris, dispenses chlorine, and connects via app for real-time updates.

Expanding beyond pools, Aiper debuted its IrriSense Smart Irrigation System (RRP $999.99), which recently won a CES 2025 Innovation Award.

Designed to mimic natural rainfall, IrriSense covers up to 445 sqm and uses real-time weather data to reduce water usage. With app controls and a 15-minute installation, the system will be available in Australia from October.

“Whether it’s keeping a pool sparkling clean or ensuring a lawn stays perfectly watered, we understand outdoor maintenance can be exhausting, time-consuming, and quite frankly a chore,” said Andres Gomez, Aiper’s VP of Sales. “At Aiper, we’re driven to create innovative solutions that take the hard work out of home upkeep, giving people back their time to enjoy the outdoors.”
