What's New

When a valve goes offline, temperature indicates frost risk, an irrigation doesn’t go according to plan, you need to know now, not the next time someone checks the Verdi Dashboard. Verdi's SMS alerts have been rebuilt so the right people hear about it first, in a text message on their phone.

Alerts now tell you what happened, where, and the likely cause, with a direct link to each device. Alert groups let you decide who hears about what: pick the fields and warning types each group covers, so your irrigators, agronomists, and leadership each get the texts that matter to their job. Anyone with a phone can be added with their permission, no Verdi login needed.

Set quiet hours so routine texts wait until morning, and mark the warnings that can't wait as critical so they come through any time of night. Groups can also send an All clear when a problem resolves, so nobody heads out to fix something that's already fixed. Each phone number gets its own name, language, and time zone.

Why it matters

• Hear about offline devices, failed verifications, and over- or under-watering without checking the dashboard.
• Each person only gets alerts for their fields and their job, so texts get read instead of ignored.
• Clear alerts with a direct link, so your team knows what went wrong and where to look.
• Quiet hours protect your crew's evenings, while critical alerts still get through overnight.

How to get it

Available now, free and included in the Verdi Dashboard. Set it up from the Settings page under SMS Alerts: create an alert group, choose its fields and warning types, and add phone numbers. SMS alerts control who gets notified and when; they don't change what triggers a warning or where warning thresholds are set.

See the step-by-step setup guide here.

What's new

The Verdi SDI-12 Telemetry Node now communicates with GroPoint multi-depth probes. Wire a GroPoint probe to the node, and every depth shows up on your Verdi Dashboard next to your valves and schedules. Up to 8 moisture depths and 10 temperature depths, down to 48 inches.

Why it matters

• Set runtime from infiltration: Watch each 15 cm segment respond during an event and shut off when water reaches the root zone.
• Catch over-watering early: Moisture showing up at your deepest segment means water and fertilizer are moving past the roots.
• Keep the probes you already own: Existing GroPoint installs can move onto Verdi with no new logging hardware.

How to get it

Available to any account running a Verdi SDI-12 Telemetry Node. Wire the probe, add it in device config, and it appears on the Verdi dashboard. Talk to your Verdi rep or irrigation dealer about probe options.

Good to know

• Requires an SDI-12 variant GroPoint Profile probe. MODBUS variants are not supported.
• Supported to 48 inches (8 moisture depths, 10 temperature depths).
• GroPoint Profile does not measure EC. Pair it with a single point EC sensor if you track salinity trends.
• Moisture reads in % VWC and tops out near 56%. That is soil holding capacity, not a fault.
• Install with a pilot rod into undisturbed soil. Fall and winter installs give the most settled spring readings.
• Manufactured in Canada.

We’re excited to introduce Gateway Gen 2, the new standard gateway for all Verdi deployments. Built on the RAKwireless WisGate Edge Pro V2 platform, it brings improved radio performance, a tougher weatherproof enclosure, faster response times, and new connectivity options, including cellular backhaul.

What's new

• More capacity for larger operations: Dual LoRa concentrators support up to 16 simultaneous channels, double Gen 1’s 8 - so your gateway grows with your operation.
• 15-second response time: Manual controls from the Verdi Dashboard reach field devices in 15 seconds, down from about 2 minutes on Gen 1. Requires the advanced software subscription ($50/device/year); the standard plan ($30/device/year) still works, just without the speed boost until you upgrade.
• Built for wherever your operation runs: IP67-rated, sealed aluminum and engineering-plastic enclosure rated -40°C to +70°C, with built-in surge protection on the PoE port - built for permanent outdoor installation in any climate.
• Cleaner installation: Internal Wi-Fi, GPS, and LTE antennas replace Gen 1’s external cables, for a faster install with fewer points of failure.
• Cellular backhaul option: The LTE variant (CV2) connects via a NanoSIM card with an active data plan, keeping remote sites connected without running cable.
• Over-the-air firmware updates: Bug fixes, new features, and hardware support reach your system automatically - no field visits required.
• Solar and battery diagnostics: Paired with the RAK9155 Battery Plus, Gateway Gen 2 reports power and battery status to the Verdi platform, so our support team can check levels remotely before dispatching anyone.

Availability

Gateway Gen 2 is included in all new Verdi deployments starting now. Existing Gen 1 gateways don’t need to be replaced unless you’re expanding capacity or need the LTE cellular option. No software changes are required - it connects to the same Verdi Dashboard you already use.

Detailed local weather data and accurate rainfall totals, no station required.

We’re excited to launch Verdi Weather, a powerful new feature that brings real-time, forecast, and historical weather insights directly into your Verdi Dashboard.

When you click the new Weather button, you’ll see detailed, location-specific weather and soil data for your fields, powered by Precip–without needing a physical weather station.

What you'll find inside

• Current air temperature, wind speed, and (USA only) soil temperature
• Recent rainfall and snowfall totals, plus last significant precipitation event
• Soil temperature (10cm top soil) and relative soil moisture (10cm top soil and 10-40cm sub soil) (USA only)
• 16-day forecasts and historical weather trends
• Hourly and daily precipitation breakdowns
• Cumulative rainfall graphs comparing recent years to each other and to 30-year normals

Whether you're dialing in this week’s irrigation or analyzing historical data, Verdi Weather gives you reliable, modelled data that’s more localized than most third-party sources. It puts accurate insights right where irrigation decisions are made.

Availability

Verdi Weather is included at no additional cost for users in the Contiguous USA (Lower 48) and Canada.

Soil temperature and moisture are available only in the USA. We currently don’t provide any weather data outside these regions.

We’re actively working with Precip to support more locations, including Mexico and beyond.

📩 Interested in seeing Verdi Weather in your region? Contact us!

No new hardware or setup required.

We are excited to release an update to one of the most used components of the Verdi Dashboard!

Device cards are the central place for monitoring the health and status of your irrigation hardware, including valves, pumps, and sensors, directly from your farm map. 

When you click on any valve, pump or sensor on your farm map, the device card opens, displaying real-time health stats and manual control features. This gives you immediate insight into your system’s status, helping you trust that irrigations are being executed with nominal flow and pressure, and making it simple to spot and solve problems like a faulty valve or leaky pipe.

The new device card layout is intuitive and thoughtfully designed, with a clear hierarchy from the most important to the least important information. Key live stats, like battery status, network connection, and flow and pressure verification, are front and center. Manual controls are easily accessible, so you can take action quickly when needed⁠.

We Want Your Feedback

Your feedback drives our roadmap. If you have suggestions or encounter any issues, please let us know through the feedback form on the Verdi Dashboard, or reach out to our support team at support@verdiag.com. We’re committed to making Verdi the most reliable and intuitive irrigation management platform for growers everywhere⁠.

Thank you for being part of the Verdi community. We hope these updates help you grow with confidence.

We're excited to share our latest improvement to the Verdi Dashboard: completely redesigned device markers that make monitoring your farm easier and more intuitive.

You've shared your feedback about our map, and we've been listening carefully. After lots of work reimagining how these markers could be improved, we're thrilled to introduce improvements that directly address these pain points and make your day-to-day operations smoother and more intuitive.

We've focused on what matters most—helping you quickly spot active irrigations, potential issues, and device statuses without cluttering your view.

All-New Device Markers 🎨

We've given your devices a fresh new look on the map! You'll notice:

• Redesigned icons for Valves and Sensors for better visibility across the Dashboard
• Devices in Manual Mode are now clearly indicated with an M

Intelligent Device Grouping 📍

As you zoom in and out, nearby devices automatically group together to give you a clearer overview and reduce clutter.

• Groups show their total device count in their centre
• Groups show a status badge if any of their devices have a status badge
• Status badge colours correspond to the highest priority status of a contained device
• Groups show a full irrigation status ring if any of their devices have any irrigation status ring
• Click on a group to view a list of all the devices it contains

Smarter Display for Better Visibility 🎯

You now have an easy way to identify which devices require your attention, allowing you to ignore the rest so you can focus on what matters.

Inactive devices appear as collapsed dot markers

• Hover over them to expand
• Click as usual to view more

Devices requiring your attention appear as full markers

• When devices are irrigating or have warnings/errors

Valve and Irrigation Status 💧

Devices with open valves now have blue rings showing their irrigation status to help you understand how water is being used on your farm at any given moment.

• Spinning: A device is either entering Manual mode, or already in Manual mode, and is transitioning from open to closed or vice versa.
• Partial ring: Shows the progress of a scheduled irrigation.
• Full ring: Valve opened but not due to a scheduled irrigation (e.g. device is in manual mode).

Status Badges 🚦

We've made it much easier to quickly spot which devices require your attention with status badges.

🟠 Orange → Warnings

The device needs attention but is still operational (with potentially reduced performance).

Examples: Low battery, Weak signal strength

🔴 Red → Errors

The device needs immediate action in order to restore functionality.

Examples: Device offline

New Marker Tooltips ℹ️

Hovering over a device marker will open a tooltip containing an overview of your device’s status and valve state (if applicable).

Scheduled irrigation in progress

Non-scheduled open valve (e.g. in Manual mode)

Non-scheduled valve transitions (e.g. in Manual mode)

What does this mean for your operations? 💪

• Faster Issue Detection: Critical alerts and warnings stand out immediately
• Cleaner View: Focus on active operations while maintaining visibility of all devices
• Easier Navigation: Smart grouping helps manage farms and fields of any size
