Description

The Augos Smart Solar Irrigation Controller is a solar-powered device for remote irrigation management. It controls DC latching valves, monitors water use, and tracks flow rates via the Augos online platform. With dual valve channels, automated scheduling, and robust connectivity, it ensures precise, data-driven irrigation. Its internal battery lasts up to a week without sunlight, perfect for off-grid farming.

Terms and Conditions:
This device (2 valves, 2 water pulses per device) is subject to a web and data services monthly charge of R500.00 for 5 valves, R1000.00 for up to 20 valves, R2000.00 for up to 50 valves for a contract period of twenty-four (24) months.

Features

Effortless, Solar-Powered Irrigation Control

Streamline irrigation with solar-powered valve controllers offering dual-channel operation, remote scheduling, water and flow monitoring, and automated switching. Featuring cloud control, robust wireless connectivity, and a rugged, cost-efficient design, it ensures efficient water management even in remote locations.

Solar-Powered Operation

Fully powered by solar energy with rechargeable batteries, ensuring
continuous operation even in remote locations.

Cloud Valve Control

Control DC latching solenoid valves remotely, with the ability to set up schedules or open and close valves based on other measurement points like soil moisture or water flow.

Water Consumption Monitoring

Integrated water consumption meter inputs on each channel to measure the total amount of water delivered to specific blocks, which can also trigger automated valve switching.

Flow Monitoring

Monitor flow sensors on each channel to detect and measure water flow, ensuring efficient irrigation management and enabling automated responses to changes in flow.

Data Logging & Control

Comprehensive data storage for historical analysis and compliance reporting.

Robust Wireless Connectivity

Supports wireless communication via LoRa (RF) and LTE, providing reliable connectivity in diverse environments.

Extended Battery Life

Capable of operating for up to a week without sunlight, thanks to the efficient internal battery system.

Flexible Scheduling

Switching based on real-time data from soil moisture sensors, water flow or other measurements (measure-to-switch).

Dual Channel Capability

Each controller features two valve outputs and two digital/pulse inputs, allowing you to manage two separate irrigation lines simultaneously.

Rugged & Cost Efficient Design

Low-cost design with long life expectancy, built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, ensuring reliable performance across various agricultural settings.
