Smart irrigation · Made in British Columbia

Improve yields.Reduce costs.Work smarter.

A smart irrigation system that connects to your existing dripline. Simple setup, control from anywhere, local support.

We build irrigation control systems in the Fraser Valley, for the Fraser Valley. Sensors, controllers, and software that work with the dripline you already own.

Irrigation as a Service

What you get

We install the devices and keep them running smoothly

Sensors in Every Zone

A tailored sensor suite with the real-time insight to irrigate with confidence.

Intelligent Pump & Valve Control

A drop-in replacement for your controller. Run every zone independently using your existing valves.

ESCloud platform showing live soil moisture data on a laptop and phone

A Powerful Cloud Platform

Monitor, optimize, and control your whole operation from your phone or laptop.

Auto-irrigation controls with per-zone conditions and toggles on a phone

Auto-pilot for your Irrigation

Automation tuned to your crop, soil, and weather. Your knowledge stays in the loop.

Why Ensemble?

Ensemble

noun

/änˈsämb(ə)l/

A group of things viewed as a whole rather than individually.

Each device is useful on its own. Together, they become one coordinated irrigation system.

A new level of flexibility in irrigation control

One system. Wired and wireless.

Where wiring exists

Direct or two-wire

Fast, centralized control for connected fields.

  • InfrastructureConnect conventional 24 VAC valves using dedicated wiring or a shared two-wire path.
  • System scaleCoordinate 100+ zones, pumps and fertigation channels in one system.
  • Response timeUnder 1 second

Where wiring is impractical

Wireless HydroNodes

Mains-free expansion for remote valves.

  • InfrastructureAdd solar-powered valve control where field wiring or mains power is unavailable.
  • System scaleCombine 100+ wired and wireless zones while keeping the infrastructure you already have.
  • Response timeUnder 1 minute

Closed-loop irrigation control

Know the valve opened. Know the water arrived.

Every irrigation event is checked from activation through shutoff, with pressure and electrical feedback watching for problems.

Verified open and close

Pressure feedback confirms each valve opens and closes as intended.

Solenoid health

Current monitoring flags abnormal operation early, giving you time to replace a failing solenoid.

Automatic protection

Pressure constraints detect leaks and pipe bursts, then trigger the configured response.

Field-proven across BC, backed by real irrigation data from working farms.

Real results. Measured.

Compared to irrigating each zone the same amount, Ensemble's zone-by-zone control reduces inputs and pump runtime.

Per fieldPer acre

Estimated net gain

$20,800

per year • per 40-acre field

Combines added revenue from improved yield + cost savings from labour and pumping and maintenance.

Reduce water use by

24%

per year

Less overwatering while still meeting crop needs across fields.

Pump runtime saved

131 hours

per year • per 40-acre field

Fewer run hours means lower electricity demand and less mechanical wear.

Based on a 2024 field trial in BC, Canada on a 40-acre field with autonomous, smart irrigation on a zone-by-zone basis. Contact us for more information.

Software platform

The platform

Easy for everyday irrigation. Powerful enough for the whole farm.

Turn on a valve, adjust a schedule or check a field in seconds. When the job is more complex, Ensemble can coordinate zones, pumps and fertigation across multiple sites.

  • Simple day-to-day control

    See what is running; start, stop or pause irrigation; and create irrigation runs from your phone, laptop or controller screen.

  • Ready for complex systems

    Run zones together, organize them into groups, prime pumps and coordinate fertigation.

  • Reliable as you grow

    Add sites and users when needed. Controllers can keep running fallback schedules during a network outage, while alerts keep you informed. Reports provide a clear record for planning, troubleshooting and compliance.

Flexible field sensing

Measure what matters in your field.

We combine proven soil, weather and irrigation sensors into a monitoring system tailored to your crop and infrastructure. When a decision depends on a measurement we do not already support, the system can be extended with new sensors.

The bottom line for BC berry growers

Ensemble turns irrigation from a daily headache into a competitive advantage.

More sellable berries per acre

Keep soil and substrate in the sweet spot all season, improving size, firmness, and uniformity. Fewer stressed plants, more marketable fruit.

Less time chasing valves

Automate irrigation runs and adjust them from your phone or laptop. Spend fewer hours checking fields and more time managing people, harvest, and logistics.

Use less water and power

Run pumps only when and where they’re needed. Cut back on water, electricity, and fertilizer waste, especially during drought restrictions and peak-rate periods.

Prove your stewardship

Detailed records of irrigation and sensor data make it easier to demonstrate water stewardship to buyers, regulators, and certification programs.
