Even though our piping and most heads are a little out dated, our central control is pretty cool. We replaced it about 7 years ago and are pretty proactive about keeping everything up to date. The only issue we have is communication to some of the boxes through radio antennas. This is something that can really get addressed until we do a full system.
Many of you have seen some of the ways that we can use the irrigation system. We can turn heads and programs on through our phones and Ipads. I just bought a new ipad yesterday for the irrigation system. Our old one was an original ipad 1 the couldn't get the latest apps and software for the irrigation system. It's funny how Apple can faze out old products and get you to buy new stuff....it was 7 years old I guess. The new one has 4G so I don't have to carry around a wifi card anymore. That's nice and it will save us $10/month not having to pay for a wifi card anymore.
Using these devices saves us a ton of time. I can make run time adjustments, program adjustments, use the irrigation map, turn things on and off, and monitor the pump station all from a phone and/or ipad. This saves me a ton of time every morning from having to run back and forth to the office.
