Revolutionary Interface
The EVOLUTION controller’s user interface
was designed with the customer in mind.
Shortcut buttons provide quick access to
basic functions while the advanced menu
leverages the experience and knowledge of the
irrigation professional, all shown on a graphics
display that navigates similar to many modern
consumer electronic devices.

of add-on devices—including a weather sensor,
handheld remote, multiple soil sensors, and up
to two wireless relays.

everything at a computer. Use a standard USB

Standard Functions
For example, the Water Now Screen allows the user to begin
watering with as few as just two button presses, with the option
of starting a specific schedule, specific zone, or watering all zones
in series.
Advanced
Functions
The Standard menu gives the homeowner access to the most fundamental functions of the
controller, such as manual watering, setting watering days and start times for a single schedule,
and adjusting the amount of irrigation, all directly accessible through dedicated shortcut buttons.
The Advanced menu gives the contractor access to the full power of the EVOLUTION
including the ability to set up multiple irrigation and auxiliary schedules, create custom grow-in
schedules, and configure any “smart” add-on devices - all operations that may otherwise
overwhelm a homeowner.
Another example is the Review Screen, which is an at-a-glance
summary showing which days the controller is going to water in
the next seven days for the schedule you select.

For example, the Apply Sensors screen allows the user to easily
view and configure all the sensors available to the controller,
including rain, ET, and soil.
Other Examples
The Home Screen displays the current time and date, what zones
are scheduled to water next, or if currently watering, what zone(s)
are currently watering and how much time is remaining, as well
as any alerts – in the absence of any alerts, the screen will display
“SYSTEM OK.”
The Grow In Screen allows the user to set up a grow-in schedule
for a user-defined period of time (up to 90 days), after which the
controller will default back to its normal irrigation schedule(s).
The Contractor Message Screen allows the contractor to input
a custom message with their name and contact information into
the controller from the software via a USB drive so it is visible to
the homeowner when they press the “Help” button.
