How do I balance the cost of sensors and meters with their performance and features in integrated HVAC-irrigation systems?

When selecting sensors and meters for integrated HVAC-irrigation systems, it’s essential to balance the cost with their performance and features. While high-performance devices with advanced features may be more expensive, they may provide better accuracy, reliability, and durability, leading to long-term cost savings. Consider the total cost of ownership, including installation, maintenance, and replacement costs, when evaluating the cost-effectiveness of different sensors and meters. Additionally, consider the potential benefits of advanced features, such as remote monitoring or data analytics, which can provide additional value to the system.
