Smart Irrigation Valve for Growers

ADVANCED
IRRIGATION TECHNOLOGY

lumo water valves for growers

Lumo is the first valve to have a built-in controller, the first to have built-in flow and pressure sensors, and the first valve that is completely wireless and internet connected. This gives growers unprecedented control and visibility into the health of their irrigation system, enabling them to reliably automate and redeploy precious labour resources. 

How Lumo's Smart Irrigation Valve Works

1

Install a Lumo valve on any block or sub-block you want to control and monitor

2

Schedule irrigations with Lumo’s intuitive irrigation management software‎

>

3

Lumo valves run automatically while monitoring flow rate and water consumption

Smart Irrigation Valve Benefits

Managing your irrigation system has never been easier! Lumo’s smart irrigation valves make it convenient and affordable to automate your entire irrigation system. No complicated install, setup or manual configuration is required.

Completely Wireless
Internet connected and solar powered for easy install and maintenance

Built-in Flow Meter

Know exactly how much water your crops receive

Innovative Design

Tamper-proof flow control and soft-close technology

Rugged Build

Fiber reinforced engineered polymer for added durability

Volume Based Irrigation Scheduling

Run irrigations based on volume of water, not length of time. When Lumo records the desired volume of water, it will close the valve, giving you precision control over your irrigations.

Detect Catastrophic Leaks

Lumo’s flow sensors play a critical role in detecting leaks in your irrigation system. If an abnormally high flow rate is detected, it is likely due to a broken drip line downstream from the Lumo valve.

Digital Record Keeping

All data captured from Lumo’s smart valves is recorded and saved for digital record keeping. This allows growers to instantly generate reports for internal use or compliance.

Smart Irrigation Valve Frequently Asked Questions

The Lumo smart irrigation valve is the first and only of its kind for agriculture. 

It is the first valve to have a built-in controller, the first to have built-in flow and pressure sensors, and the first to be fully wireless and internet-connected. The built-in sensors detect water flow rate and pressure, signaling the valve to open and close when needed to meet volume goals set by the grower instead of relying on timers or manual intervention.

Irrigation controllers or smart irrigation controllers only act as the “hub” that transmits and receives data from another source. This means that you would also have to purchase electronic (solenoid) valves from another provider in order to enable irrigation automation. If you also desire flow rate data, you would need to purchase a flow sensor from a third provider and wire the system together to function properly. 

Lumo simplifies this by combining the controller, valve, and flow sensors together into a single, easy to manage unit. Lumo also provides their own software for the valves, making installation and operation a seamless experience. 

No, each one of Lumo’s valves operates independently of a central irrigation controller or hub. Essentially, each valve has its own built-in irrigation controller. This makes installing Lumo valves incredibly affordable and easy, since they don’t need to be in close proximity to a main controller. 

There is no limit to how many smart water valves you can use. Some growers only require a valve at the block level, while other prefer to create sub-blocks to achieve maximum control. With Lumo, you have complete control over how granular you want to get with your water distribution.

Not hard at all! Lumo valves were designed for easy retrofit on any drip irrigation system. 

What makes Lumo different from other irrigation automation solutions is that you don’t need to rip and replace your existing system or invest a lot of money upfront in hardware costs.

Our goal is to make precision irrigation affordable and accessible to all growers.
