Irrigating Remote Fields Without Constant Travel
For many growers, pumps and irrigation setups are often located miles from home base—sometimes across counties. Without automation, ensuring those pumps run correctly can mean repeated trips at odd hours to turn equipment on or off.
A stuck valve or burst pipe can waste thousands of gallons before it’s noticed. And for frost events or night irrigations, that means real risk and real labor costs. Remote fields make reliable irrigation control a logistical headache—until now.

Automate, Monitor, and Streamline
Lumo makes managing remote irrigation pumps simple. Lumo integrates with pump controllers to start and stop pumps automatically. Pumps run only when valves are open—saving energy, wear, and water.
Each valve measures flow and pressure in real time, so the system knows when water is moving and when it’s not. Pumps can run automatically in sync with valve schedules—ensuring they only operate when water is actually needed.
And if a line bursts, a valve sticks, or a pump fails, you’ll get an instant alert. That means fewer trips, lower fuel use, and faster response times.

Because everything is built-in, Lumo is an all-in-one solution that’s super simple to install and never going to leave you in the dark.
“There’s a night and day difference from the other irrigation automation systems we’re working with. It’s everything everyone else says they can do but Lumo actually does it.”

DIG DEEPER
Lumo valves don’t directly switch pump power, but they coordinate with pumps by only drawing water when scheduled. If your pump has a control interface, Lumo can send start/stop signals (via integration) when valves need to be opened or closed. Users can set pressure thresholds and safety limits — the pump runs when valves open and stops when they’re all closed. In essence, Lumo ensures pumps operate only when needed, and you can monitor it all remotely. The Lumo platform monitors flow and pressure in real time. If it detects abnormal conditions (like a valve should be open but no flow, or very high flow indicating a line break), it will send an instant alert via text/email. This early warning means you can dispatch maintenance or shut the system down from your phone to prevent damage. No more discovering problems only on your next field trip – you’ll know right away.
Yes. Lumo was designed for reliability. Each valve stores schedules internally, so even if connectivity drops, it will still execute the irrigation plan. This is crucial for remote fields: even if your farm Internet goes down, the valves in the field will open/close as programmed. And if something does go wrong, the system’s fail-safes (like local manual override and alerts when connectivity is back) have you covered.
From the Grower’s Mouth
Hannah Lindner
Wente Vineyards
“With the Lumo valves, we have this micro control that we didn't have in the past. We know that what we are scheduling is getting executed, we know the timing is right, and we have confidence we’ll get the quality that we want from the vineyard.”
Gustavo Aviña
Pine Ridge Vineyards
“I chose Lumo because the installation and the valve operation are very easy. We’re now able to do more precise irrigations, giving water to the vines when they need it, and only what they need. After we started automating irrigation, we produced the best fruit I’ve ever seen.”
Ryan Decker
Clos du Val
“The product is plug and play without any wires to run or radios to set up. A flow meter is incorporated into each valve that is capable of delivering irrigation sets by a volume, instead of a duration. I’ll be able to log all irrigations, by volume, for any water use reporting requirements that either exist now or will in the future. I think that more than any other company I've worked with, Lumo has listened to what we've had to say in the industry.”
Tyler Klick
Redwood Empire Vineyard Management
“The software platform is extremely easy to use and functions very well. When we have had issues, Lumo’s been out there before we even got there. The valves have been reliable and have really helped us fine tune our operation as it pertains to irrigation. Lumo is the first automated irrigation solution that I have confidence I can go to my clients and say, ‘If you want automation, this is something we can use.’”
