We are happy to announce that the popular and cost-effective ICC2 controller is now web-enabled to provide a range of powerful and flexible remote irrigation management c­­apabilities — without the need for a replacement facepack!

The mobile-friendly Centralus irrigation management platform — currently available in beta phase — provides highly secure, comprehensive cloud-based control and monitoring features to new or existing ICC2 dial-based controllers. The connectivity allows users to view a controller’s status, change settings, view forecasts, save water, and receive instant notification of important system alarms — all without costly and time-consuming travel and site visits.

The addition of internet access brings dial-based ICC2 controllers seamlessly into the world of next-generation irrigation control. From the user-friendly Centralus dashboard, it is now easier than ever before to add automatic weather adjustments, alarm monitoring, location information, remote operation, and scheduling to ICC2 controllers.

To upgrade to Centralus control, users choose one of two connection options depending on site requirements and personal preference: the wireless WIFIKIT or hardwired Ethernet LANKIT. Both options include free access to the Centralus web central control platform. Users then log in to the platform through their Hunter account at hunterindustries.com. If they do not have one, they can create one for free. Direct feedback capabilities are built in to the platform, so users can join the conversation as we continue refining Centralus to introduce more helpful features.
