Building Upon a Strong Foundation
The Verdi Block Controller is our most popular product for a reason: it makes it easy and affordable for any grower to access labor-saving irrigation automation technology and start getting results in just one day.
The Verdi Block Controller is a wireless, battery-powered device that brings remote control and monitoring to agricultural irrigation valves and pumps.
Paired with the Verdi Dashboard and wireless soil moisture probes, it unlocks powerful features like irrigation flow verification, text alerts, sensor automation, and set-based scheduling — everything designed to help growers save labor and improve productivity.
Introducing the Next Generation

This major update builds on four years of in-field reliability and grower partnerships with upgrades to make the Block Controller even more dependable, easy to use, and capable:
- Gain complete visibility into your equipment: Confirms your solenoid actually fired and your wire isn’t severed, helping you build trust in technology.
- Connect common flowmeters: Works seamlessly with McCrometer, Seametrics and others for flow verification, water use tracking and SGMA compliance.
- Faster sensor integrations: Faster, cleaner installs for flow, pressure, moisture, and temperature sensors.
- Longer battery life: 12 months on a standard alkaline 9V, or up to 16 months with a lithium 9V.
- Quick non-technical install: Install in under 5 minutes. Connect a solenoid and scan the QR code to add to your Verdi Dashboard map.
Built for Reliability at Scale
Our mission is to make irrigation automation technology easy and affordable for all growers so more farms can benefit from this labor-saving technology.
We built the Block Controller to fill a critical gap in the market: a modern, reliable, wireless irrigation automation system that doesn’t require complex installations, high upfront costs, or specialized training.
It’s capable enough for industrial-scale infrastructure, yet simple enough for smaller operations to adopt quickly and get immediate benefits.
The new Block Controller is a significant improvement in reliability and ease of use, ensuring it can be deployed at scale.
Available Now
The new Block Controller officially launches Monday, May 12th.
