Each provides remote programming, management and monitoring of Rain Bird’s ESP-LX Series Controllers (the ESP-LXME and ESP-LXMEF traditionally wired controllers, the ESP-LXD two-wire decoder controller and the soon-to-be-introduced ESP LX-IVM and ESP LX-IVM Pro controllers) from a desktop computer.
The platform currently consists of two options: IQ4-Cloud and IQ4-Desktop.
“Now with IQ4, we’re taking water management to the next level with full remote access, a modern user interface, streamlined navigation and permission-based, tiered-user access.”Īvailable in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese language versions, IQ4 can manage small, single-controller sites as well as large multi-controller sites. “For years, our IQ Platform has been an ideal water management solution for HOAs, schools, parks and other sites that require flow sensing, have more than 22 stations, or require comprehensive water management across one or more controllers,” said Rick Malkin, central controls product manager for Rain Bird. Rain Bird’s new IQ4 Central Control Platform software provides full remote irrigation system access and numerous advanced water management features from any web-based device.
