Smart irrigation designed for contractors and homeowners alike

Dive into two products by The Toro Company that make irrigation intuitive and easy. 

At the 2025 Irrigation Show & Education Week put on by the Irrigation Association (IA), Karol Weyman spoke with Matt Hall, product marketing manager for The Toro Company’s residential-commercial controllers and sensors, about two of the division’s newest products.  

The first product Matt introduced is Toro’s new RXC controller, designed for residential use. “The controller has basic programming. It’s very intuitive with six programs — a few more programs than some of the competition,” Matt shared. “It’s good, day-in and day-out. If you need it to turn on irrigation and turn off irrigation, it's going to do a fantastic job of doing so.” 

What really sets this product apart, though, is when it is paired with Toro’s new Oasis software platform, available through the app and a contractor website. “A contractor will be able to create their organization, create client profiles that they manage and have access from anywhere to any one of those clients at any time,” Matt explained. “We spent a lot of time working on the setup and the handoff. Those are the two biggest places where contractors and users get stuck; this way, they're able to pick how they want their dashboard to look, quickly see a list of their clients and filter through that.”   

One of the unique tools the controller and software duo features is smart irrigation. “It has internet-based weather for smart irrigation. You'll get daily weather data downloaded from the cloud that'll make a daily runtime adjustment to the irrigation based on the weather in your area,” Matt said. “So, you're going to save water when you don't need it and get the water you need to keep the landscape healthy.”  

Tools like smart irrigation and a fully customizable dashboard took much research, development and testing, creating products that Toro is proud to provide. “We really have worked hard to catch the pain points for contractors and homeowners,” Matt expressed.
