Calsense

Calsense is a premier resource for quality irrigation controllers, water saving accessories, and advanced management software. In practice that means connecting machines, sensors and robots to software that controls or monitors them.

Who is it for? Mostly manufacturers and operators. Related areas on their profile: CleanTech, Internet of Things, Natural Resources, Smart Building and Sustainability. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Calsense is based in Carlsbad, California. More on calsense.com.
