Engineered for Your Exact Pasture Layout

Whether you're managing a single gravity tank or a complex multi-pasture well network, TroughT adapts seamlessly without running miles of wires.

Scenario 01

Water Level Monitoring Only

For remote gravity tanks, spring-fed troughs, or community pipeline systems where you don't control the water source. Continuous depth tracking, gallon volume, and leak alarms.

Master Hub: Monitor Only ($349)

Scenario 02 • Most Popular

Autonomous Well Pump Control

Automate your well or booster pump without dry-running. Automatic low-fill start / high-stop hysteresis, positive-flow motor verification, and 60-second comms safety shutdown.

Master Hub: Well Pump ($449)

Scenario 03

Gravity & Pressure Valving

Automate pipeline filling from pressurized city mains or elevated storage tanks. Controls 1" motorized ball valves directly at the trough without wasting water or overfilling.

Master Hub: Valve Controller ($429)

Scenario 04

Multi-Trough Pump & Valve Hub

One deep well pump supplying 2 to 8 pastures. The Master Hub coordinates zone valves across distant tanks via LoRa mesh, opening the target tank valve before starting the pump.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straightforward answers on hardware capabilities, power, and cellular coverage.

How far can the Satellite Trough Nodes be from the Master Hub?

Satellite Trough Nodes utilize 915 MHz LoRa radio signals which easily achieve 3 to 5 miles line-of-sight across pastures, rolling hills, and light timber. Because the system operates on a localized star mesh, satellite nodes don't need line-of-sight to each other—only to the Master Hub.

What if our ranch has weak cellular service?

Only the single Master Hub requires cellular connectivity. It comes equipped with a high-gain external antenna and a pre-activated multi-carrier Soracom SIM that roams automatically across AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile towers. You can place the Master Hub on high ground or at your well house where reception is strongest.

Can the Pump Controller switch 240V AC deep well motors?

Yes! To maximize safety and prevent high-voltage lightning surges from damaging delicate microcontrollers, we utilize an isolated Two-Box architecture. The solar Master Hub outputs a safe low-voltage trigger (12V or 24V DC) to a standard industrial Solid State Relay (SSR) or magnetic contactor inside your pump disconnect box.

What happens if the sun doesn't shine for a week?

All Master Hubs and Satellite Nodes include an integrated high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panel coupled with an intelligent MPPT charge controller and industrial lithium reserve battery. The hardware is engineered for 10 to 14 days of continuous operation in complete darkness or heavy overcast.

What is the monthly cellular fee?

Cellular service is billed at a flat $15 per month per Master Hub. This includes unlimited automated alerts (SMS, email, push), real-time cloud data logging, satellite pasture mapping, and Soracom global data. All satellite nodes connect for free—there are zero per-node cellular fees.
