What You Can Control Wirelessly: Lights, Pumps, Gates, Fans and More
What you can control
Imagine it. Control it.
If you can turn it on or off, open or close, trigger or activate, You.InControl can usually control it. Take a look at the lists below to give you a few ideas.
General control notes
- If the load is low voltage DC < 16v, current < 600mA , Relay-1 or Relay-8 can power it directly.
- If the load is low voltage DC < 16v, current < 2A , Relay-1 can power it directly.
- If the load is DC > 16v and < 30v , use a suitable automotive relay controlled by a Relay-1 or Relay-8.
- If the load is AC mains voltage, use a licenced Electrician, a suitably sized contactor or relay controlled by a Relay-1 or Relay-8 will do the trick.
- If it's brushed motor < 30v and < 13A, the Motor Controller can drive it.
- If it has a power lead and is less than 10A, the Power Outlet can power it.
- If it's a switch, sensor, button etc., the Universal Switch can read it.
- If it is fixed wiring use a licenced Electrician.
