Remote access to the farm computer, without the drive
The farm is an hour away and the computer running the irrigation software is stuck on an error screen. With RemoteBite you get into it from home or the co-op office, check it and get it running again. It just needs to be on and online.
Built for computers far from the office
Nobody on site
The computers in your account accept your connections by themselves. Get in even when nobody is at the pump house.
Automatic reconnection
If the farm connection drops for a moment, RemoteBite reconnects by itself and you pick up where you left off.
Power it on remotely
With Wake-on-LAN, turn on a computer that's off from your list when another computer of your account is on in the same network.
No router setup
No ports to open and no VPN, even behind a cellular router: RemoteBite goes out to the internet like a browser.
Bring the data home
Copy the files the farm software creates to your computer, and send the ones you need by dragging them into the session.
The whole co-op in one account
With the Team and Business plans, simultaneous connections are shared across your whole team, with no charge per person or per computer.
Getting the farm computer ready
- 1
Install RemoteBite on the farm computer
Signed in to your account, so it shows up in your list of computers. It works on Windows, Mac and Linux.
- 2
Turn on unattended access
In Settings. On Windows, RemoteBite starts with the computer: if it restarts, it's available again without anyone signing in.
- 3
Connect from wherever you are
From home, the office or the co-op, pick the computer in your list and connect.
Computers in places that take a while to reach
Out in the country, computers sit where they're needed: in the pump house, in the barn, in the co-op warehouse. Driving out to check an alert or change a schedule costs time and fuel. With RemoteBite you see the screen and use the keyboard and mouse as if you were there.
The computer needs to be on and online, whether over fiber, DSL, cellular or satellite. If the connection drops, RemoteBite reconnects by itself, but while the line is down there's no way in.
For co-ops and agribusinesses
Invite technicians, office staff or your IT provider by email. Each person has their own computers and admins see them all. The web dashboard shows who connected, to which computer and when.
Sessions are end-to-end encrypted and both computers show the same 6-digit security code. When you help a member with their computer, they accept the connection and decide whether you can control or only watch.
Frequently asked questions
Can I control the irrigation controller?
If the irrigation software runs on a Windows, Mac or Linux computer, yes: you control that computer as if you were sitting at it. RemoteBite doesn't connect directly to controllers, sensors or PLCs.
Does it work over the farm's cellular connection?
RemoteBite works behind cellular routers without opening ports. How it feels depends on the connection: if it's slow, the picture takes longer to arrive, and if it drops, RemoteBite reconnects by itself.
What happens if the farm loses power?
On Windows, with unattended access on, RemoteBite starts with the computer and is available again without anyone signing in. To have the computer turn itself back on when power returns, enable that in its BIOS.
Can I turn on a computer that's off?
Yes, with Wake-on-LAN, if it's wired to the network, has the option enabled in its BIOS and another computer of your account is on in the same network to send the signal.
Can the co-op help members with their computers?
Yes. The member opens RemoteBite, gives you their 9-digit number and accepts. They decide whether you can control or only watch and can end it any time. For this you need a paid plan: the free one is for personal use only.
What does the farm computer need?
Windows 10 or 11, macOS 15 or later, or Ubuntu or Debian, plus an internet connection.
