Remote switching usually means a mains cabinet and a network at the far end. Genesis switches a relay, a latching relay or a bistable solenoid from a battery, over cellular, and keeps its rules on the device so a valve still closes when the link is down.
A user or your own system sends a command through the dashboard or the API, or a rule on the device switches on a reading crossing a threshold, with dwell timing.
Latching relays and bistable solenoids need a pulse, not a held current, driven through an H-bridge. A relay held energised would flatten a battery in days.
The same unit reads the sensors around the output: the level that a pump fills, the pressure behind a valve. Control and evidence are on one timeline.
| Outputs | Switched 5 V or 12 V per port, driving relays, latching relays and bistable solenoids via H-bridge |
|---|---|
| Rules | Held on the device, with dwell timing, acting without the network |
| Commands | From the dashboard or the REST API |
| Link | 4G-LTE by default, Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz where a site network exists |
| Power | Battery, solar or 6 to 32 V DC |
On battery, use a latching relay or a bistable solenoid, which hold their state without current. On a fixed supply, a standard relay works.
The port supplies the switched voltage to the coil. The relay contacts then switch the load, whatever its voltage.
Set the threshold, the dwell and the action in the dashboard, then fire the output from the dashboard once to confirm the wiring.
The controller has no safety rating and no deterministic scan cycle. Anything that protects people or plant stays on hard-wired protection or a rated controller.
It runs simple rules at distributed points. Sequencing a machine belongs to the machine controller.
Through a relay or contactor rated for the pump. The controller drives the coil; the contacts switch the pump.
It keeps running. Rules and dwell timing are held on the device, so a level rule still stops a pump with no link.
Yes. The REST API with scoped tokens includes the control commands that fire the output.
The sensors, how many points, where they sit, and whether there is power and coverage. We come back with whether the ports cover it and what the installation looks like.
