OrbIQ Smart Irrigation Controller

The OrbIQ Smart Irrigation Controller brings automation and intelligence to agricultural and landscape irrigation systems. Using real-time soil, weather, and sunlight data, it determines the optimal watering schedule to maintain healthy crops and gardens while conserving water and reducing energy costs.

Designed for both farms and residential use, the controller connects with the OrbIQ Cloud, enabling you to monitor, control, and adjust your irrigation system remotely from your smartphone or computer. It can integrate with sensors and forecast data to automatically delay watering when rain is expected, ensuring smart and sustainable water management.
