Smart Control Hub
Smart control works best when it is reachable, documented, and paired with the reliability disciplines that prevent repeat failures.
Two foundations: For irrigation, SRMS Tier 1 combines dedicated connectivity + a Rachio controller. For landscape lighting, Smart Link provides reliable Wi-Fi at the transformer so transformer-side control can stay connected.
Weak Wi-Fi at equipment
Connectivity foundation
Smart control only works where the equipment lives. Start by making the install point reachable and connected.
Smarter scheduling
Controller upgrade
Upgrade the controller, map zones cleanly, then tune schedules so coverage improves without waste.
Repeat failures
Pressure discipline
If you’re running 80+ PSI, you’ll keep replacing parts. Regulate first so smart control is built on a stable system.
These are the five building blocks we use most often across irrigation and lighting smart-control deployments.
The irrigation foundation: dedicated connectivity + a Rachio 3 controller (8 or 16 zones), configured for serviceability and water discipline.
View Tier 1Controller upgrade with service-first setup: wiring verification, zone mapping, and practical scheduling that holds up over time.
Read the guideConnectivity-only: a reliable Wi-Fi connection at the install point (often at a lighting transformer) when customer Wi-Fi isn’t available.
See Smart LinkTransformer-side control: schedules and remote on/off without rewiring. Best when the transformer location can be made serviceable.
