FarmHQ review
Cellular-connected monitoring and remote control for farms managing irrigation equipment.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
FarmHQ combines cellular-connected hardware with web and mobile software to monitor and control irrigation equipment. It is aimed at farms managing pumps, valves, hose reels, flow meters, linears, and center pivots, especially those that need visibility into equipment location and operating progress across fields. Users can monitor pressure, flow rate, speed, and irrigation progress, then start or stop equipment remotely, including pump and reel shutdown. The platform suits growers who want equipment-level monitoring and scheduling; it is not presented as a soil-moisture control system.
The product's focus is operational control: timers and irrigation schedules can be combined with equipment-to-equipment automation and failsafes. Automatic alerts and notifications provide updates, while cloud-stored irrigation history, analytics, and downloadable reports support review of past activity. FarmHQ also tracks estimated water use and application data. This combination is relevant to farms coordinating multiple pieces of irrigation equipment; buyers seeking a broader farm-management suite or specified soil-moisture-based decisions should consider alternatives.
FarmHQ is paid and has no free plan. The FarmHQ Hardware Installation Kit includes the first-year service subscription, followed by an annual service subscription from Year 2 onward. That ongoing subscription includes on-demand customer support, cellular network service, unlimited data exchange, unlimited app users, and unlimited SMS notifications. Web, iOS, and Android access are available, with phone and documentation support channels. Farms should choose FarmHQ when remote equipment monitoring, control, and scheduling are central needs; those looking for a software-only option or a stated soil-moisture control feature may be better served elsewhere.
