Calsense was incorporated in 1986 by Ralph Miller with an initial emphasis on soil moisture sensing in response to a California drought. Ralph’s vision for Calsense as a service oriented company, focused on a niche government market, came to be by providing customers with factory-direct, after-sale service and training at no additional cost. This has helped countless customers be successful using Calsense technology once purchased. This model has provided Calsense invaluable direct customer feedback to improve and evolve technology for specific market needs for three decades. Other significant highlights over the 30-year history are:

  • 1989 – First Calsense irrigation controller, model 2000, introduced along with the first Calsense software package for central control, running atop Microsoft® DOS®.

  • 1995 – Calsense introduced Command Center for Microsoft® Windows,® offering graphical central control.
  • 1999 – The ET2000 controller was released, capable of using both daily weather data and moisture sensors to control irrigation. Also included a large, intuitive, ATM-style display.
