Smart Control Box
Every switch,
on your phone.
Switch equipment on and off remotely by phone, or automatically based on sensor data
The Smart Control Box is an IoT control box developed in-house by YenProtek. It lets you switch existing water pumps, fans, and valves on and off remotely from your phone, and start and stop them automatically based on sensor data.

Remote
Switch equipment on or off on short notice without upending your plans
It starts raining after you've left home and you want to turn off the garden sprinklers; you're out and suddenly need to start a paddlewheel aerator or pump at your fish pond. The task itself may take only a few seconds, yet you have to head back or call someone to do it for you.
Anything you can handle from your phone no longer requires a special trip. Even when equipment is at a remote site, late at night or in the rain, you can skip the trip and carry on with your day.
Applications
Equipment scenarios suited to remote operation
Connects pumps, fans, lighting, solenoid valves, aerators and other on-site equipment, for agriculture, aquaculture, warehousing, buildings and more.
Aquaculture Equipment
Start or stop paddlewheels, aerators, feeders and more as needed, and control them instantly even while busy with other work.
Pumping & Irrigation
From farmland irrigation and fish-pond pumping to garden watering, switch pumps and valves from your phone and schedule watering more easily.
Lighting & Other Equipment
Lighting, greenhouse roll-up film, cooling-pad systems and more can also be fitted with a suitable control setup based on equipment specifications.
- Air conditioning / fans
- Greenhouse roll-up film / exhaust
- Aquaculture aeration
- Lighting
- Irrigation systems
- Automatic feeding
Existing equipment
Add remote control to equipment you already have
There is no need to replace equipment that already works well just to add connectivity.
Once compatibility is confirmed based on how the equipment is controlled, remote operation can be added through the Smart Control Box.

Daily operation
Switch on or off anytime, and decide how long it runs
-
Switch equipment on and off from your phone and check its status
Use the app to view and operate different equipment from a single management interface, and switch between manual operation and automatic control as needed.
-
Set the run time in advance, so there's one less thing to remember
When switching equipment on, you can set it to run for 5 minutes, 30 minutes, or a custom duration to suit on-site needs, and it stops automatically when time is up. When continuous operation is needed, you can also choose not to switch it off automatically.

On site? Operate it directly with the buttons
For cleaning, maintenance, or on-the-spot adjustments, use the physical buttons on the control box.
AC-Powered
Three physical buttons
- OnStart the equipment right on site
- OffOn-site staff stop the equipment manually
- AutoRuns automatically by preset times, schedules or sensor conditions
Energy-Saving
Two physical buttons
- OffEmergency stop right on site
- AutoRuns automatically by preset times, schedules or sensor conditions
Automatic control
Pair with environmental monitoring for automatic start/stop
If every day you first check temperature, water level or water quality before deciding whether to switch equipment on, those repeated steps can run automatically by set conditions. The Smart Control Box works with the FarmerPack, AquaPack, flood alert system and more, applying monitoring data to automatic equipment control.

-
Choose a condition
Use sensor readings, time or weather changes as conditions, such as soil moisture below a set value, low dissolved oxygen, or 8 a.m. every day.
-
Choose an action
Pick the equipment the Smart Control Box turns on or off: irrigation, fans, shading, heating, lighting and more. One condition can drive several devices at once, run them for a set time and switch them off automatically. It can also send push, SMS or Email notifications at the same time.
-
Save. It's live.
No coding, no engineer on site. Adjust anytime on your phone, or switch equipment on and off remotely with one tap.
Network down? Automation keeps running. The Smart Control Box keeps controlling on-site equipment based on the conditions downloaded during its last connection.
Two models
Choose the right version for your on-site power
AC-Powered | Mains available on site
Uses existing mains power and stays connected, ready for remote operation at any time. Suited to warehouses, greenhouses and other managed sites that already have power; wiring is confirmed by equipment specification.
- Power outlet
- Smart Control Box
- Traditional Equipment
- Runs on existing mains power, so installation and setup are simpler
- One end to power, the other to the equipment: plug and play
- Add remote and automatic control step by step, without replacing existing equipment
Energy-Saving | Hard to wire outdoors
A low-power design paired with a solar panel and lithium battery, suited to remote farmland and other sites where power is inconvenient. It can be configured before shipment for the intended equipment, fitting solenoid valves and other low-power or intermittent control needs.
- Solar panel
- Smart Control Box (built-in lithium battery)
- Outdoor equipment
- Powered by a solar panel and lithium battery, cutting wiring needs outdoors
- Control settings can be configured before shipment for the type of equipment you plan to control
- Suited to solenoid valves, drip irrigation and other low-power or intermittently running equipment
How to choose
| Site conditions | Recommended model | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mains power on site; you want remote control of existing equipment | AC-Powered | Uses the existing power supply; suits pumps, fans, lighting, feeders and more |
| No mains power on site, or cables are hard to run | Energy-Saving | Solar panel plus lithium battery; suits remote farmland and intermittently controlled outdoor equipment |
Power requirements for the control box and the controlled equipment are each confirmed based on on-site conditions.
Not sure which model to choose? Just tell us the equipment type, voltage and power, expected run time and on-site power conditions, and we'll help you find the right control approach.

Real-world applications
Already deployed at farms, gardens, wine cellars and more, with the list still growing.
At an elementary school in Kaohsiung, the campus farm and butterfly habitat use a FarmerPack and Smart Control Box to integrate environmental monitoring with irrigation control, so watering starts by set conditions and reduces the burden of on-site operation.

A private villa garden in northern Taiwan uses soil-moisture monitoring and valve control to start irrigation when moisture drops below the set value. The owner no longer plans life around watering times, and can start or stop manually from the APP when needed.

Wine cellars are sensitive to temperature and humidity changes. Environmental monitoring linked with the Smart Control Box drives air conditioning, dehumidification or ventilation, adjusting automatically when readings move out of range and reducing frequent manual checks.
About cellar & warehouse monitoringFrequently Asked Questions
Will it keep running automatically if the network goes down?
Yes. The Smart Control Box continues to control on-site equipment automatically based on the conditions downloaded during its last connection.
How do I choose between the AC-Powered and Energy-Saving models?
Choose the AC-Powered model when mains power is available on site, so the device stays connected at all times. Choose the Energy-Saving model (solar + lithium battery) when running power outdoors is difficult; it suits low-power or intermittently operated equipment such as solenoid valves.
Do I need to know how to code to set up automation?
No. On your phone, set "when" a sensor reading, time, or weather condition is met, and "then" which devices should run and for how long. Changes take effect as soon as you save. One condition can trigger multiple devices at once and also send push notifications, SMS, or email alerts.
Which products can it work with?
It works with FarmerPack, AquaPack, the Flood Alert System, and other products to automatically control irrigation, fans, pumping, and other equipment based on sensor data.
Can I connect my existing equipment?
Equipment can be connected once compatibility is confirmed based on how it is controlled. Power requirements for the control box and the controlled equipment are each confirmed based on on-site conditions.
Let equipment start and stop on its own, and save your time for what matters
Whether it is field irrigation, greenhouse ventilation or aquaculture aeration, operate remotely from your phone and control automatically by schedule or sensor data. Fewer unnecessary trips make daily management more efficient and worry-free.
