Frequently Asked Questions

Integrated Irrigation is the company; BushLinx® is our product brand. We design, build, supply and support BushLinx® farm monitoring hardware and software. This website is about the company and the work we do — for growers, distributors, and government, catchment and research projects. Detailed product information lives on bushlinx.com.au ↗.

We're based at 13 Riddoch Street, Penola, in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia. We work directly across South Australia and Victoria and beyond, and our authorised distributors cover other regions.

Since 2010. That's over 15 years of designing, installing and supporting farm monitoring systems — and continuously refining the BushLinx® platform on feedback from the farmers, advisers and project teams who use it.

Yes. Integrated Irrigation is Australian-owned. Our data loggers are designed and assembled in South Australia, and the BushLinx® software platform is developed and hosted locally. We're not a reseller for an offshore product.

Yes. We deliver monitoring networks and data platforms for catchment management authorities, government programs and research trials — site design, installation, the data platform and ongoing support. The Wimmera CMA soil moisture portal, covering 72 soil moisture probes and weather stations across the Wimmera, runs on our platform. See our projects.

Yes. BushLinx® supports private networks for grower groups, Landcare groups, neighbours, or a corporate with properties in different districts. Members see the district picture alongside their own sites, and each site owner stays in control of their own data and who can see it. More in farming groups and public networks.

Yes. Projects can have a login page with their own branding that acknowledges the funding body, free public accounts, live maps, station dashboards and rainfall tables. The Wimmera CMA soil moisture portal ↗ is an example — anyone can create a free account and see readings every 15 minutes.

The site owner. Sharing in BushLinx® is opt-in, not opt-out — nothing is shared automatically. A site can be kept private, shared with a group, or made public. For project networks, the arrangement is agreed as part of the project.

Often, yes. Existing BushLinx® sites can be shared into a group or public network, and many other brands of sensor and logger can be brought onto the platform. In the Wimmera, for example, farmers with existing units were offered an upgrade from 3G to 4G in exchange for adding their data to the public portal.

Get in touch with Tim on 0459 231 028 to talk about distribution in your region. Our current authorised distributors are listed on the Distributors page.

Sometimes. Rebate programs for on-farm monitoring and connectivity equipment come and go, and they usually close fast. Our Funding page covers what's open, how these programs generally work, and how to be notified when the next round opens.

Direct support from the people who built the system. When you call Tim on 0459 231 028, he answers — no offshore call centres or ticket queues. Remote configuration is available, we organise on-site visits for hardware issues, and historical data is migrated on upgrades.

BushLinx® customers log in at bushlinx.au/login ↗. The Wimmera CMA soil moisture portal has its own login at data.integratedirrigation.com.au ↗.

Weather stations, soil moisture (capacitance probes and matric potential sensors), tank and dam levels, water flow and leak detection, plus catch can irrigation uniformity testing — all brought together on the BushLinx® software platform. Full details are on bushlinx.com.au ↗.

It depends on the site type and number of sensors. Tank monitors are the most affordable; full sites combining a weather station, soil probe and logger are the biggest investment and the most complete decision-making tool. Contact Tim for a quote.
