Remote Control
Remote Management
Control every aspect of your farm from your phone — valves, climate systems, alerts, and schedules — from anywhere in the world, at any time.
- 100% Farm functions controllable remotely
- <2s Command execution after tap
- iOS + Android Full-featured mobile app
The Problem
Farms require constant attention, but being physically present all the time isn't realistic. Issues happen at night, on weekends, and during holidays. When problems occur, the only options are driving to the farm or leaving it until the morning — both costly.
- Critical issues require physical presence to resolve
- Night and weekend problems go unaddressed for hours
- Delegating to staff remotely is difficult without shared visibility
- No way to verify that manual tasks were actually completed
How Valvix Solves It
All farm controls are accessible via the Valvix app
Every valve, thermostat, pump, fan, and schedule can be viewed and changed from your phone.
Commands execute within seconds
When you tap to open a valve or change a target temperature, the command reaches your farm controller in under 2 seconds via encrypted connection.
Live sensor data shows the result of your actions
After issuing a command, you can watch the sensor readings respond in real time to confirm the action worked.
Alerts reach you wherever you are
Push notifications, SMS, and email ensure critical alerts reach you even without the app open.
Activity log records all remote actions
Every remote command is logged with timestamp and user — useful for accountability and troubleshooting.

What Growers Say
I was at a trade show in Warsaw when I got an alert about a pressure drop in zone 6. I opened a bypass valve from my phone in 10 seconds. Someone on site checked it 20 minutes later — I had already fixed the problem.
Managing two farms used to mean choosing which one to visit each day. Now I can check both from anywhere and only drive somewhere when something actually needs physical attention.
I gave my agronomist read access so she can review data before our weekly call. She comes to the meeting with specific observations instead of generic advice — completely changed the quality of the consultation.
Common Questions
Does remote control work when the farm has no internet?
Remote control requires internet connectivity at the farm. During outages, local automation continues based on the last active schedule. Remote access resumes automatically when connectivity is restored.
Is the connection secure?
Yes. All communication uses TLS 1.3 encryption. The Valvix app requires authentication and supports two-factor login. Your farm controls are not exposed publicly.
Can I limit what each user can do remotely?
Yes. User roles define which zones and which control types each person can access. For example, a worker can view data but not change schedules.
What if I issue a wrong command by mistake?
Most actuator commands can be reversed immediately. For safety-critical systems (like high-pressure irrigation), a confirmation step is required before the command executes.
Is there a web version in addition to the mobile app?
Yes. The full Valvix dashboard is accessible via browser at app.valvix.ai — all features available on mobile are also available on desktop.
