1. A remote monitoring and control system for landscape or agricultural environments, each of the landscape or agricultural environments having a sensor network comprising a plurality of sensor nodes for monitoring environmental, soil, or climate conditions and controlling irrigation or climate control systems, the remote monitoring and control system comprising:
- a server computer system located remotely from the landscape or agricultural environments, said server computer system coupled to the sensor network in each landscape or agricultural environment over a communications network for receiving data from and controlling operation of the sensor nodes in the sensor network, said server computer system also coupled to client devices operated by end-users over a communications network for transmitting data to and receiving remote control commands or queries from the end-users for respective sensor networks;
wherein said server computer system provides a configurable user interface to the end-users, said user interface comprising a dashboard having a plurality of separate windows that can be customized by each end-user to display selected data from the server computer system, said windows being movable by end-users to different positions on the dashboard, wherein settings for dashboards configured by end-users are stored by the server computer system and used in subsequent log-ins by the end-users.
