Battery-Powered Smart Connectivity: Introducing the CMS Controller
Imagine smart connectivity without needing electrical power—introducing the CMS, a battery-powered sprinkler controller that gives you full control over your irrigation system from anywhere. With built-in Cellular, Bluetooth, and LoRa radios, the CMS connects seamlessly to the B-hyve app, which provides real-time evapotranspiration (ET) weather data directly to the valve. This allows users to optimize their watering schedules for maximum efficiency without requiring long wire runs.
In this webinar, we cover everything you need to know about CMS, including its modular design, smart watering with B-hyve technology, and how it can be installed in various locations to suit your needs. Whether you’re managing multiple valves or flow meters, CMS offers unmatched convenience and flexibility, making it the perfect solution for smart irrigation management.
During this webinar you will learn:
- How to optimize irrigation using real-time ET weather data: Discover how the B-hyve app provides up-to-date evapotranspiration data directly to your valves, ensuring efficient watering without long wire runs.
- The benefits of smart, battery-powered irrigation control: Understand the advantages of using the CMS system to manage multiple valves and flow meters without the need for an electrical connection.
- Modular design features for flexible irrigation setups: Learn how the CMS’s latching solenoid and flow meter modules allow you to customize your system to meet specific irrigation needs.
- Remote monitoring and control through B-hyve apps: Explore how you can control and monitor your entire system from anywhere using the B-hyve Pro or B-hyve Ag apps.
- Installation tips for maximum efficiency: Get insights into how and where to install the CMS, whether in a valve box, a custom wall mount, or on a 2-1/2 inch pipe.
Brad Wardle’s passion for watering began when he was very young and irrigated the family property with impact heads on quick couplers and a kitchen timer. That passion for watering pushed Brad to join the Orbit team in 2001, where he has worked in various roles, including Director of Marketing, and Vice President of B-hyve, his current role at Orbit. In 2015, Brad had the opportunity to lead an internal team in designing, building, branding, and launching the world-famous B-hyve line of smart irrigation products and apps. Brad has served on boards, received industry certifications, and has spoken or trained at many industry events around the world. He has authored or been a contributor to dozens of articles in various publications, all centered around his passion – water.
