AXUS Automation — Full Remote Control of Your Industrial I/O Equipment Take complete command of your remote equipment from your iPhone or iPad. AXUS Automation connects directly to AXUS I/O Controller units in the field, giving you live status, instant alerts, and full output control — wherever you are. REAL-TIME MONITORING See the live state of every input and output the moment something changes. Battery voltage, solar panel status, and cellular signal strength are always visible at a glance. A built-in server and device indicator shows whether your connection to the IoT server is active and whether your field unit is responding. FULL OUTPUT CONTROL Switch any output ON or OFF with a single tap. Set timed outputs to run for a specified number of minutes and automatically return to their off state — perfect for irrigation valves, gate motors, lighting, and pumps. All commands are protected with encryption so only authorised users can operate the equipment. GPS LOCATION TRACKING When the connected unit is equipped with a GPS module, AXUS Automation displays a live satellite map showing the unit's exact position with a pin drop. Coordinates, altitude, speed, and satellite count are shown alongside the map and update automatically as position data arrives. SMS ALERTS & COMMAND CONFIRMATION Receive SMS notifications when inputs change state, batteries run low, or solar/main power is lost. Confirm output commands via SMS to maintain a full audit trail even when you are away from the app. SECURE DEVICE REGISTRATION Each device is registered with a unique cryptographic token. Registration is completed directly through the app using a rolling one-time confirmation code sent to your whitelisted phone number. Unregistered phones cannot issue commands. MANAGE MULTIPLE UNITS Add as many field units as you need. Each device appears in the device list with a live health indicator. Tap any device to open its dedicated dashboard. The app automatically reconnects to the IoT server if the connection drops — no manual intervention required. IDEAL FOR Agriculture — irrigation, pump control, water level alerts Remote sites — generators, gate access, lighting Industrial monitoring — input state logging, alarm relay control REQUIREMENTS AXUS Automation requires an AXUS I/O Controller unit with an active cellular data connection. The app is provided free of charge — data and cellular plan costs are separate. AXUS Automation is developed by AXUS Pacific for use with the AXUS industrial I/O product range.
