Abstract:
A wireless system is provided for monitoring environmental, soil, or climate conditions and/or controlling irrigation or climate control systems at an agricultural or landscape site. In some embodiments, the wireless system includes at least one wireless nodes for monitoring environmental, soil, or climate conditions and/or for controlling one or more irrigation or climate control systems at the site. The wireless system also includes a server computer system located remotely from the site. The server computer system is coupled to the node/s over a communications network for receiving data from and controlling operation of the node/s. The server computer system is also coupled to a device operated by an end-user over a communications network for transmitting the data to and receiving remote control commands or queries from the end-user.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for controlling irrigation control systems at a plurality of agricultural or landscape sites, comprising:\n at least one wireless node at each of the plurality of sites; a server computer system located remotely from the plurality of sites, said server computer system communicationally coupled to each of the at least one wireless node over a communications network for receiving data from and controlling operation of the at least one wireless node at each of the plurality of sites, said server computer system also selectively coupled to a plurality of devices each operated by one of a plurality of end-users over the communications network for transmitting the data to and receiving remote control commands or queries from the plurality of end-users; and a web based application or a cell phone application for providing an end-user interface for monitoring the data from the at least one wireless node for which an end-user has authorization and transmitting commands to the computer server system; wherein the data transmitted to a given end-user corresponds to a site for which the given end-user has authorization; at least one gateway, at a location of each of the plurality of sites, for transferring the data between the at least one wireless node and the server computer system; wherein the server computer system transfers an irrigation schedule to the at least one wireless node of each of the plurality of sites for storage and execution at each of the plurality of sites; wherein the at least one wireless node at each of the plurality of sites is configured to compare received sensor measurements against at least one user-entered control condition, and control the irrigation accordingly, wherein the at least one user-entered control condition is defined at the server computer system by the end-user using a respective device and is transferred from the server computer system to the at least one wireless node and stored in an internal memory of the at least one wireless node; wherein the server computer system responds to queries from at least one end-user with short text messages (SMS), web pages, or screens to be displayed on the cell phone application; wherein the at least one wireless node communicates with and directly controls the operation of valves or pumps without a central controller.
