Here, we investigate the uncertainty of dynamical observables in classical systems manipulated by repeated measurements and feedback control; the precision should be enhanced in the presence of an external controller but limited by the amount of information obtained from the measurements. We prove that the entropy production and the information quantity constrain from below the fluctuation of arbitrary observables that are antisymmetric under time reversal. The information term is the sum of the mutual entropy production and the Kullback--Leibler divergence, which characterises the irreversibility of the measurement outcomes. The result holds for finite observation times and for both continuous- and discrete-time systems. We apply the derived relation to study the precision of a flashing Brownian ratchet.
