About HydroIQ
HydroIQ builds precision irrigation and fertigation hardware for serious growers — from kitchen gardens to commercial landscape contractors. The controller combines sensor-driven local control with AI-assisted scheduling and a granular data-consent model that lets owners decide what (if anything) leaves their garden.
