Smart Control Hub

Build Smart Irrigation and Lighting Systems That Stay Reachable

Most smart-control failures are not software problems. They start with weak connectivity at the equipment location, missing documentation, or mechanical conditions that make automation unreliable.

This hub gives the exact path: start with Tier 1 connectivity + control, add Tier 2 protection when risk justifies it, then Tier 3 response for accountability and service continuity.

Connectivity at the install point Controller + schedule discipline Protection + response tiers Reliability-first service workflow

SRMS path: Tier 1Tier 2Tier 3Service Plans

Quick Answer: Where should I start?

Start with Tier 1 for reliable connectivity + control. Add Tier 2 when abnormal-flow risk needs protection. Add Tier 3 when alerts must convert into priority service response and documented follow-through.

Basic App Setup vs. Service-Scoped Smart Control

Basic Setup Green Guru Smart Control Path
Controller depends on house Wi-Fi signal Connectivity is engineered at the equipment location
Limited upgrade planning Tiered roadmap: Tier 1 -> Tier 2 -> Tier 3
Mechanical risks discovered late Reliability and pressure discipline addressed early
Alerts may not lead to action Tier 3 pairs monitoring with response workflows

Choose your SRMS path

Tier 1

Connectivity + Smart Control

Foundation for reliable remote control when property Wi-Fi is weak at the install point.

View Tier 1

Tier 2

Connectivity + Protection

Adds flow-based protection workflows that shorten leak discovery and reduce escalation risk.

View Tier 2

Tier 3

Connectivity + Protection + Response

Connects monitoring to priority service response and service-plan continuity.

View Tier 3

Core smart-control building blocks

SRMS Tier 1 Smart Node

Irrigation foundation: dedicated connectivity + Rachio 3 control, configured for serviceability and future tier upgrades.

Open guide

Rachio Smart Controller

Service-first controller setup: wiring verification, zone naming, and baseline schedules that stay maintainable.

Open guide

Connectivity-first platform for lighting and other field-control scenarios where property Wi-Fi does not reliably reach.

Open guide

Brilliance Smart Socket 3.0

Transformer-side lighting control with remote scheduling and on/off control when installation conditions are right.

Open guide

Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV)

Pressure discipline prevents recurring failures. If operating pressure is excessive, regulation should be addressed before expecting durable smart-control performance.

How we scope smart control

  • 1

    Confirm reachability

    Connectivity is validated where equipment lives, not just inside occupied space.

  • 2

    Stabilize control baseline

    Controller setup, zone mapping, and schedule logic are documented for service continuity.

  • 3

    Add protection if risk justifies

    Tier 2 is added when abnormal-flow events create meaningful cost or liability.

  • 4

    Pair with response operations

    Tier 3 and Service Plans convert monitoring outcomes into priority action.

Smart Control FAQs

What is the Smart Control hub?

The Smart Control hub is Green Guru's entry page for irrigation and lighting control systems. It organizes connectivity, controller setup, protection tiers, and response options into a practical upgrade path.

Where should I start: Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3?

Most properties start with Tier 1 for reliable connectivity and control. Tier 2 is added when protection from abnormal flow events is needed. Tier 3 is for properties requiring managed response and service-plan continuity.

Do I need property Wi-Fi for smart control?

Not necessarily. Smart Node and Smart Link are used to provide connectivity at the equipment location when property Wi-Fi is weak or unavailable.

What is the difference between Smart Node and Smart Link?

Smart Node is the irrigation foundation that includes connectivity plus a controller. Smart Link is a connectivity-first platform commonly used for lighting-side control scenarios.

Does smart control fix leaks and mechanical failures by itself?

No. Smart control improves visibility and control, but mechanical issues still require field diagnosis and repair.

When is pressure regulation part of the plan?

Pressure discipline is addressed when excessive pressure is shortening component life or causing recurring failures. PRV fit is confirmed during inspection.

Can I upgrade in phases?

Yes. The common path is Tier 1 first, then Tier 2 and Tier 3 as risk and operating needs justify deeper protection and response.

Is smart control only for irrigation systems?

No. The hub covers both irrigation and landscape lighting control, including transformer-side lighting smart-control components.

Are these products sold as DIY hardware only?

These solutions are positioned as service-scoped implementations. The Company confirms fit, installs properly, and documents settings for long-term reliability.

How is smart control pricing scoped?

Pricing is quote-after-inspection and depends on system size, site constraints, connectivity needs, and the selected tier path.
