Product Release Update (May 12th, 25): Hydraulic notifications on the Plant, Irrigation template and more

We're happy to introduce new features and improvements, designed to simplify the growing process and help you make better decisions - faster


Hydraulic alerts on Plant (& Pivot) app


This feature introduces the ability to receive hydraulic notifications on the Plant app. It is specifically designed for customers who use hydraulic monitoring but do not utilize automation. This delivery enables users who are not using automation to still stay informed about hydraulic issues by receiving notifications for key events like valve status, tank levels, and pump performance. 



New Planner Web - Irrigation template


The Irrigation Template & Scheduling feature in the new Planner Web allows users to create reusable irrigation plans, improving efficiency and consistency.


Benefits


  • Saves time by reusing predefined irrigation plans.

  • Ensures consistency across schedules.

  • Provides flexibility with component duplication and duration adjustments.

  • Enables instant execution with "Activate Now".


Key Features


  • Template creation

    • Select irrigation components (Valves, Groups, Pumps, Main Valves) with filtering options.

    • Duplicate components for multiple activations.

    • Configure Back-to-Back Execution, start offsets, durations, and repeat cycles.

    • Set an optional Default Start Time.

  • Irrigation scheduling

    • Select single or multiple dates for scheduling.

    • Adjust start times and durations per event.

    • "Activate Now" allows immediate execution.

    • Scheduled events appear on the Planning Gantt.




Planner Mobile - Pause & resume cooling at the valve & group level


Cooling just got more flexible! With the latest update to Planner Mobile, you can pause, resume, and finish cooling events at both the valve and group level—all with a simple swipe or from the cooling event page. This gives you real-time control while keeping everything in sync with the system’s ON TIME / OFF TIME logic.


Benefits


  • More Control, Less Waste – Pause cooling instantly to optimize water usage.

  • Seamless Process – Works just like the Stop & Resume function for irrigation.

  • Instant Feedback – The cooling status updates to "Cooling Paused" at the valve and group level.

  • Flexible Options – Choose to Resume (aligning with ON TIME intervals) or Finish the event.


How it works


  • Swipe to pause an active cooling event.

  • Monitor valve-level status – "Cooling Paused" appears in real-time.

  • Swipe to resume – Cooling restarts according to ON TIME intervals.

  • Swipe to finish the event or select Finish from the cooling event page.




Planner Mobile - Stop & Resume at the group level - Valve delay handling (Irrigation & Cooling)


Ensure that pausing and resuming irrigation and cooling events at the group level maintains the Valve Delay setting for synchronized operation..


Benefits


Enhances precision in irrigation and cooling control by preserving sequential valve delays, preventing hydraulic disruptions.


Key Functionalities:


  • Pausing at the group level follows the Valve Delay Minutes sequence.

  • Valves pause/resume sequentially based on the group’s order.

  • Resume action mirrors the delay logic to maintain synchronization.

  • Server references both group valve order and Valve Delay Minutes.
