Intelligent control.

Switch load, valves and equipment on your own rules: a tariff, a schedule, a demand limit, or a live reading from another sensor.

1 · What it is for

Intelligent control is where the platform stops watching and starts acting. A control switch or valve controller fires on a rule you set, closing the loop from a reading to an action with no one in the middle. It is the same platform and the same rules, driving an output instead of raising an alert.

2 · How the rules work

2.1 · What fires it

Switch on a weekly schedule, in line with loadshedding, by time-of-use tariff, on a live reading from a sensor such as temperature or level, or by hand.

2.2 · What it drives

The Airswitch switches devices directly, and larger loads through external contactors, in AC or DC. Valve controllers open and close valves on a schedule or a reading.

3 · Use cases

• Loadshedding. Shed non-critical load ahead of a stage and restore it after.
• Tariff switching. Run a load only in the cheaper time-of-use blocks.
• Irrigation. Open a valve when soil moisture drops below its band.
• Temperature control. Cut a heater or fan once a reading reaches its limit.
• Level control. Hold a tank or pump within a level band.

4 · The hardware

Control runs on the Airswitch and valve controllers. The Airswitch comes in LoRa or LTE versions and in AC and DC models, driving larger loads through external contactors.

5 · Good to know

Control acts; monitoring watches. A rule can chain off any sensor reading, so control and sensing work together. Safety-critical interlocks belong in hardwired protection systems, not in a wireless control rule, and, like everything else, control is scoped to your access.
