The Farmo Remote Pump Controller or Remote Relay Switch is a smart device that plugs in between your pump and the power source. It operates remotely via the Farmo App, using schedules, triggers based on data, or a combination of both.
Most farmers pair the Remote Pump Controller with a Farmo tank sensor to automate pump operation. Because both the sensor and the controller are cloud-connected, they don’t need to be near each other—they can be installed hundreds of kilometres apart and still work together seamlessly. And it’s not limited to pumps—any 15A, 240V single-phase device that’s safe to switch remotely can be controlled.
For even more flexibility, the Farmo Remote Relay can be installed by your sparky on any low-voltage starting circuit, controlling virtually anything you can imagine. This brilliant piece of technology is simple yet powerful when connected to your other cloud-based devices and data.
Automating pump control gives you greater flexibility and saves valuable time by reducing manual operations. Whether you’re irrigating a distant paddock or filling a tank on another property, you can start and stop pumps from your phone. This reduces unnecessary travel, cuts fuel costs, and helps prevent wear and tear on vehicles.
When integrated with Farmo monitoring devices—like tank level or soil moisture sensors—pump control can be automated to respond to real-time conditions. This improves water efficiency, prevents overfilling or dry runs, and sends alerts when attention is needed. With better control and fewer manual tasks, farmers can reduce risk, save money, and optimize their water systems.
