Remote Pump Control - Remote Relay Switch

WARNING: A risk assessment must be completed and actioned before operating machinery remotely. For installation by approved electrical contractor.

The Farmo Remote Relay Switch is a smart device which your sparkie can install on any low voltage starting circuit, controlling anything you can think of. This brilliant piece of technology is so simple yet so powerful when it's connected to your other devices and data in the cloud. It operates remotely via the Farmo App, using schedules, tank thresholds or a combination of both.

Because both the sensor and the remote relay 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 is safe to switch remotely can be controlled.

Automating pump control gives you greater flexibility and saves valuable time by reducing the need for 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 provides alerts when something needs attention. With better control and fewer manual tasks, farmers can reduce risk, save money, and improve the overall performance of their water systems.
