Facility automation
Smart Timer
Scheduled switching for farm loads, set and seen from a dashboard.
The challenge
Mechanical timers work in 15-minute steps and cannot tell you whether they ran.
Smart Timer
Pumps, lights and aerators across a site are often switched by mechanical timers that are coarse, offline and unmonitored. The Smart Timer is a two-channel relay module scheduled from a web dashboard, so every timed load can be set and checked from one place.
