1. 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, that a signal strength from a remote device is below a threshold;
transmitting, via the first communication system, a signal representative of the data 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; and
transmitting a signal representative of the data, via the second communication system, to the remote device.
