The Milesight UC511 is a professional-grade LoRaWAN® solenoid valve controller designed to automate irrigation systems and remotely control up to two DC latching solenoid valves. Featuring integrated water flow monitoring, a built-in solar panel, rechargeable batteries, and an IP67-rated enclosure, the UC511 delivers reliable, long-term operation in agricultural, greenhouse, landscaping, and remote irrigation applications.
The UC511 supports both time-based and flow-based irrigation strategies, while two configurable GPIO inputs allow connection to pulse water meters or valve status sensors for precise water usage tracking. Configuration is quick and simple using NFC and the Milesight Toolbox mobile app, eliminating the need to open the enclosure during installation.
When integrated with Microclimates EnvOS®, the UC511 enables centralized irrigation management with real-time valve control, water flow monitoring, dashboards, historical reporting, alerts, and automation. Combine the UC511 with soil moisture sensors, weather stations, climate monitoring, and irrigation scheduling to create intelligent, water-efficient irrigation systems.
