System and method for managing data of an irrigation system

A computer-implemented method of directing data captured by a plurality of sensors on an irrigation system to a remote device, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, via communication systems of a plurality of tower boxes, signals representative of the data captured by the plurality of sensors;
• transmitting, via a communication bus to which the communication systems are connected, signals representative of the data to the communication system of one or more of the plurality of tower boxes that detect a signal strength from the remote device above a threshold;
• and
• transmitting, via wireless communication from the communication system of the one or more of the plurality of tower boxes, signals representative of the data to the remote device.

A method of directing data associated with an irrigation system to a remote device, the method comprising:

• capturing data via a sensor;
• receiving the data via a first communication system positioned on the irrigation system and in communication with the sensor;
• determining, via the first communication system, whether a signal strength from a remote device is above a threshold;
• transmitting a signal representative of the data, via the first communication system, to the remote device when the signal strength at the first communication system is above the threshold;
• transmitting a signal representative of the data, via the first communication system, to a second communication system positioned on the irrigation system through a communication bus extending along the irrigation system when the signal strength is below the threshold;
• determining, via the second communication system, whether a signal strength from the remote device at the second communication system is above a threshold;
• and
• transmitting a signal representative of the data, via the second communication system, to the remote device when the signal strength at the second communication system is above the threshold.
