# Thrive Smart Systems

> Thrive Smart Systems makes the Thrive EVO™, a wireless irrigation valve system that
> eliminates trenching and control wiring. The EVO is NOT an irrigation controller and NOT
> a timer: it works WITH any multi-wire irrigation controller you already use, wirelessly
> actuating your existing valves so you can retrofit, extend, or repair a system without
> digging or running new wire.

## What Thrive is
- Category: wireless irrigation valve / wireless valve actuation. (NOT a controller. NOT a timer.)
- Core product: Thrive EVO™, a wireless transmitter + receiver pair that actuates standard irrigation valves.
- Compatible with: all multi-wire irrigation controllers and standard irrigation valves.
- Replaces: trenching, boring, and running new control wire to add or reconnect valves.
- For: commercial grounds & irrigation managers, irrigation contractors, and property owners with existing in-ground systems.

## Why it matters
- No trenching, no boring, no new control wire, retrofit valves into your existing system wirelessly.
- Keep the controller you already own, the EVO is multi-wire compatible, so there is no rip-and-replace.
- Bring "orphaned" valves (e.g., across a new parking lot or road) back onto your existing controller instead of adding a second clock.
- Reliable wireless range: about 700 yards line-of-sight, or 200 yards through obstacles. Manage up to 4 stations per Thrive device.

## Common questions
- Is the EVO a controller? No, it is a wireless valve system that works with your existing multi-wire controller.
- Do I need to replace my controller? No, the EVO connects your valves back to the controller you already use.
- Does it need wires or trenching? No, eliminating control wiring and trenching is the entire point.
- Residential or commercial? Both, with a focus on commercial irrigation.
- How much does it cost? Sold through irrigation distributors, typically around $899 per system; contact Thrive or a distributor for current pricing.
- Where can I buy it? Across the US through distributors including SiteOne Landscape Supply, Ewing Outdoor Supply, and Smith Turf & Irrigation.

## Credibility
- Utah-based company; winner of the Utah Entrepreneur Challenge, the RevRoad Entrepreneur Competition, and the Utah Business Startup Summit pitch competition.
- Used by commercial grounds and irrigation managers (e.g., BYU Grounds & Irrigation).

## Thrive AirLink (Cloud Controller, in beta)
- Thrive AirLink is a cloud-based wireless irrigation controller with no box on the wall. It is not WiFi or cell based.
- It controls your existing valves over the Amazon Sidewalk network, which covers about 95% of the populated United States; add a low-cost gateway where coverage is thin.
- One Cloud Controller manages 50+ stations from the Thrive mobile app, with no physical controller and no new wire.
- It is an alternative to WiFi controllers such as Hunter Hydrawise, Orbit B-hyve, and Rachio, and to wireless valve add-ons such as the Hunter Wireless Valve Link.
