Install FarmHQ in One Hour
Our FarmHQ system takes most farmers up to one hour of installation per device. You simply mount the device with the sensor kit to your irrigation reel and pump via the provided instructions, download the app, pair your devices, and start remotely monitoring and controlling your equipment 24/7!
For any electric or diesel water pump, you can connect a pressure transducer and a pulse output flow meter to monitor your water pressure and flow right from your device
Our devices use an external antenna to transmit information via 4G LTE in real time. Costs are included in the yearly subscription.
Once installed and paired, your app will give you a birds eye view of your fields. You can then click on any device mapped to a field to see what’s currently happening.
Once selected, you’ll then see an outline of the field being irrigated. This is where you can track its current progress, the area that’s being irrigated, how fast your reel is retracting, and at approximately what time it will be finished.
If you pair your reel with a pump, the pump will automatically shutdown once the reel has finished. However, you can also manually control this feature.
You can sign up for text alerts and/or phone notifications to get real-time updates
The FarmHQ app also provides detailed record keeping which gives you complete irrigation history. This allows you to see which areas have been irrigated more than others and if any have been missed. You’re also able to export the reports to see your daily acreage irrigation, and more!

What are the main benefits that FarmHQ can provide me and my operation?
Our FarmHQ devices and app provide huge savings on your farm. It lets you get updates on your reels in real time, so you know when a run is complete – and when it’s not. FarmHQ automatically stops water flow any time your reel stops moving. That prevents crop damage, saving water and reducing pumping costs. Better monitoring and control mean big savings.
It also means a lot less stress and better sleep. FarmHQ lets you check on your reel no matter where you are. You can get immediate notifications anytime something goes wrong with your equipment. Our automatic pump shutdown feature means you can take care of the problem when it’s convenient for you. Stop wondering what’s going on in your fields. FarmHQ keeps track of it for you.
