A remote monitoring and control system for landscape or agricultural environments, each of the landscape or agricultural environments having at least one irrigation zone including at least one irrigation device configured to monitor environmental, soil, or climate conditions and/or configured to control irrigation or climate, the remote monitoring and control system comprising:
a server computer system located remotely from the landscape or agricultural environments, said server computer system communicatively coupled to at least one irrigation device in each landscape or agricultural environment over a communications network and configured to receive data from and control operation of the at least one irrigation device, said server computer system also coupled to client devices operated by end-users over a communications network and wherein the server computer system is configured to transmit data to and receive remote control commands or queries from respective client devices as directed by the end-users for respective one or more of the at least one irrigation device;
wherein said server computer system provides a configurable user interface displayable on the client devices of the end-users, said user interface comprising a dashboard configured to be customized by an end-user to display at least a first map of at least one landscape or agricultural environment selected by the end-user and one or more notes created by the end-user in association with the at least one irrigation zone located in the at least one landscape or agricultural environment selected by the end-user, wherein the user interface is configured such that the dashboard permits the end-user to select a note of the one or more notes within the dashboard to view the note, sort the one or more notes using at least one sorting criteria selected within the dashboard by the end-user, and search for the one or more notes using a search filter defined by at least one search parameter selected within the dashboard by the end-user.
