SRMS Tier 1 Foundation
Most smart controllers fail at the worst time: when the internet at the controller location drops. Garages, basements, valve-side installs, and detached structures often have weak or unstable Wi-Fi coverage.
SRMS Tier 1 Smart Node solves that reliability gap by pairing professional cellular connectivity with a Rachio 3 controller so remote irrigation control stays reachable under real-world conditions.
Built for typical 1" and 2" irrigation systems. Scope is confirmed during inspection.
Next tiers: Tier 2 protection • Tier 3 response • SRMS™ hub
Tier 1 is SRMS connectivity + smart control. It installs Smart Node hardware with dedicated cellular access and a Rachio 3 controller so irrigation is manageable even when property Wi-Fi is not dependable at the install point.
| Standalone Controller | SRMS Tier 1 Smart Node |
|---|---|
| Depends on property Wi-Fi quality | Dedicated cellular-backed access |
| Generic install quality varies | Service-first installation + documentation |
| Limited upgrade planning | Direct path to Tier 2/3 |
| Remote control can go dark | Designed for reliable reachability |
Validate system class, power availability, mounting location, and communication constraints.
Deploy enclosure, controller, and communications hardware with clean physical routing.
Set baseline schedules, verify connectivity, and document settings for long-term service continuity.
Identify when Tier 2 protection or Tier 3 response should be added based on site risk and operations.
These city hubs are the strongest local entry points when Tier 1 connectivity, irrigation control, and future protection-path planning need a real property fit check.

SRMS Tier 1 Smart Node is Green Guru's foundation package that combines professional cellular connectivity with a Rachio 3 smart irrigation controller. It keeps systems reachable for remote control where property Wi-Fi is unreliable or unavailable.
Yes. Tier 1 includes a Rachio 3 controller (8-zone or 16-zone) installed and configured as part of the Smart Node foundation.
No. Tier 1 is designed to operate independently of property Wi-Fi by using dedicated cellular connectivity at the install point.
In most cases, yes. Tier 1 typically replaces the controller while retaining existing field wiring and valves when they are mechanically sound. Fit is confirmed during inspection.
Yes. Tier 1 is designed as the base for Tier 2 protection upgrades and Tier 3 response integration without replacing core connectivity components.
Smart Node is the irrigation package that includes connectivity plus a controller. Smart Link is a connectivity-first platform used where a controller is not part of the scope, including lighting-related control scenarios.
The Company confirms fit, installs the Smart Node hardware, configures zone naming and baseline schedules, validates connectivity, and documents settings for ongoing serviceability.
Connectivity is typically built into the scoped installation pricing, not billed as a separate customer Wi-Fi line item. Final structure is confirmed during quoting.
Tier 1 provides connectivity and smart control. Leak detection and abnormal-flow protection are Tier 2 capabilities.
Tier 1 is quoted after inspection based on zone count, install conditions, power availability, and site constraints.
