LoRaWAN Controls & Relays for Industrial Automation

Key Features of ioX-Connect LoRaWAN Controls & Relays

Versatile Control Interfaces

The LoRaWAN I/O Controller offers analog voltage and current inputs, digital inputs and outputs, and relay outputs in a single compact module. This multi-interface design supports a wide range of field equipment — from meters and sensors to pumps, valves, and actuators — without requiring separate devices for each signal type.

Automated Leak Response & Valve Control

ioX-Connect Smart Valves close automatically when paired water leak sensors detect moisture. Automated response rules configured in ioX-Pulse eliminate manual intervention and reduce the time between leak detection and water shut-off from hours to seconds.

Long-Range LoRaWAN Connectivity

All control and relay devices use LoRaWAN technology to communicate reliably over long distances with excellent building penetration. This enables remote control across large campuses, multi-building sites, and remote installations without wired infrastructure.

Flexible Communication Modes

Choose the LoRaWAN class that matches your application. Class A maximizes battery life for periodic reporting. Class C enables near-real-time bidirectional communication for control applications that require immediate response to downlink commands.

Industrial-Grade Construction

From the I/O Controller’s –40 °C to +85 °C (–40 °F to +185 °F) operating range to the Motorized Valve’s IP67-rated stainless steel housing, every device in this category is engineered for reliable operation in demanding commercial and industrial environments.

Seamless ioX-Connect Platform Integration

All controls and relays integrate with ioX-Connect dashboards, alerts, reports, ioX-Pulse automation rules, and APIs for real-time visibility and centralized management. Devices arrive pre-provisioned — power on and they appear in your dashboard automatically.

Remote Control from Anywhere

Open or close valves, activate relays, and monitor I/O status directly from the ioX-Connect dashboard — whether you’re on-site, across town, or managing multiple facilities from a single platform.

Scalable Deployment

Add control devices to your existing LoRaWAN sensor network with negligible impact on gateway capacity. Scale from a single controller or valve to hundreds across multiple sites, all managed from one platform.

Wireless Control and Automation with Dependable, Long-Range Connectivity

Building-Wide Water Leak Protection

Install Smart Valves on main water supply lines and deploy ioX-Connect water leak sensors across floors, mechanical rooms, and critical zones. When any sensor detects water, ioX-Pulse triggers the valve to close automatically — stopping flow to the entire building before damage spreads.

Industrial Process Automation & Equipment Control

Use the I/O Controller to monitor analog signals from meters, sensors, and transducers while switching relay outputs to activate pumps, motors, or actuators. Automate process sequences through ioX-Pulse rules or trigger actions manually from the ioX-Connect dashboard.

Agricultural Irrigation Management

Deploy I/O Controllers to manage irrigation valves, monitor soil moisture sensors, and schedule watering cycles remotely. LoRaWAN’s long range covers large agricultural sites without wired infrastructure.

HVAC, Lighting & Building Automation

Control HVAC dampers, fans, lighting circuits, and other building systems through relay outputs on the I/O Controller. Integrate with environmental sensors for temperature-based or occupancy-based automation rules.

Multi-Site Property Management

Property managers overseeing multiple buildings can deploy Smart Valves and I/O Controllers across their entire portfolio and monitor device status from a single ioX-Connect dashboard. Each building gets automated protection without requiring on-site staff for every incident.

Water and Wastewater System Control

Automate pump stations, valve sequencing, and flow control in water treatment and distribution systems. Monitor pressure, flow, and level sensors through analog inputs while controlling equipment through relay outputs — all over LoRaWAN.

Remote Equipment and Utility Control

For facilities with remote equipment, tanks, or utility infrastructure that is difficult to reach quickly, LoRaWAN controls enable remote operation without dispatching a technician. LoRaWAN’s long range (up to 10 km line-of-sight) makes it viable for campus-scale and rural installations.
