20. An irrigation device comprising:
-
a controller configured to be connected to an irrigation server over a computer network, wherein the controller is in electronic communication with plumbing of an irrigation system and is in communication with the irrigation server over the computer network when a communication connection between the controller and the server is established, wherein the controller comprises; computer memory for storing operational data, wherein the controller receives one or more irrigation protocols from the irrigation server and writes the irrigation protocol to computer memory; a network interface for establishing a communication connection between the controller and the irrigation server, wherein the irrigation server conveys an irrigation protocol to the controller, such that the irrigation protocol is written into computer memory of the controller, which controller is in electronic communication with plumbing of the irrigation system; and a display interface for providing a status notification identifying the current status of the irrigation system to a user. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 39, 40, 41)
