NetIrrigate 3.0 Released!

Net Irrigate is happy to have completed the roll-out of our version 3.0 telemetry box firmware and web based software.  Thanks to spectacular customer feedback over the past two years, we are happy to announce the following enhancements:

• Dual pulse inputs which can be graphically viewed on netirrigate.com.  The second input is ideal for tracking rain gauge or fertigation data in conjunction with gallons of water pumped.
• Custom date range parameters when running water usage reports.  No longer will water usage reports default to a particular month.
• Annual water usage reports for the device wired to second meter input.
• A plethora of new alert types!  See our blog entry: Sneak Peek: Alert Features in NetIrrigate 3.0.
• New and improved event logging which is filterable on netirrigate.com.
• Automatic water usage reporting to field regions on sites equipped with the NetIrrigate® GPS Module.
• Automatic water usage reporting to zones on sites equipped with the NetIrrigate® Drip Tracker module.
• Battery backup standard on all hardware.
• Remote start/stop relays standard on all hardware.

Sneak Peek: Alert Features in NetIrrigate 3.0

As most of our customers know, the NetIrrigate® 3.0 web software will be launched on February 28th, 2009.  Over the next several weeks, we’ll be posting screen shots and discussing new features on our company blog. 

 

One improvement we’re particularly excited about is our “Alert Management”.  Presently, only four types of alert events can be configured.  With the release of NetIrrigate® 3.0, thirteen different events can be trapped and configured with alerts.  (Hopefully we aren’t cursing ourselves with bad luck).  Alerts can now be configured for the following events:

 

1. When my NetIrrigate® Telemetry Box BOOTS UP
2. When the Primary AC POWER SOURCE FAILS
3. When my system encounters a SAFETY STOP
4. When my AUXILARY INPUT turns on
5. When my NetIrrigate® Telemetry Box receives a REMOTE SHUTDOWN call
6. When the Primary DC POWER SOURCE FAILS
7. When FLOW STARTS on INPUT 1
8. When FLOW IS PERIODICALLY REPORTED on INPUT 1
9. When FLOW STOPS on INPUT 1
10. When FLOW STARTS on INPUT 2
11. When FLOW IS PERIODICALLY REPORTED on INPUT 2
12. When FLOW STOPS on INPUT 2:
13. When my NetIrrigate® Telemetry Box unexpectedly STOPS TRANSMITTING DATA

 

Note that the new version of our hardware contains dual pulse inputs so multiple flow meters can be monitored with a single telemetry box.  The second pulse input is ideal for digital rain gauges or fertigation meters.

 

Below is a screen shot of the new user interface:

 The slide menus will provide for easy alert navigation.  In addition, we’ve added a “test” button so users can test and sample an alert target before it’s saved.

Thanks to our customers!

With the heavy irrigation season winding down, we’d like to thank our customers for their feedback.  2008 has been a great year for Net Irrigate thus far.  As we’ve further expanded into new regions, we’ve increased our knowledge on the differing customer needs specific to geographic areas.  Spectacular input from our customers has allowed us to build an even better NetIrrigate® Telemetry Box loaded with the most asked for features for 2009.  We’ll also be releasing a new version of our web based software on January 31st of the New Year. 

In the mean time, we encourage existing and potential customers to learn more about our technology innovations at the recently upgraded netirrigate.com website.  We also hope to visit with many of you at the upcoming 2008 Annual Irrigation Show in Anaheim, California.
