A cell phone app would be handy for remote monitoring and control. Say you lived a mile away from the ocean where it is deployed. You could turn it on and off depending on the tide and know when the container you are filling is full.
Having just completed a home remodel where all the home automation features have an app, having apps is a handy way to monitor and control your hardware without leaving your couch, or even if you are off-premises.
- sandworm101 4y agoBut does the pipe bringing fresh water into your house use an ap? There are things in this life that are expected to "just work", that are so basic they should not be trusted to aps. This product isn't for a fancy house in a city. It is a portable product meant for use in remote areas, by soldiers no less, far away from working cellphone towers or reliable power supplies. Serious consideration should be given before attaching anything more complicated than an on/off toggle switch.

- xtracto 4y agoRight, the more I learned about computers and automation, the more I want dumber stuff. Intelligent doorlock? Alexa lights? Ring? Nooo thank you, I don't want to be left out of my home or without light because of some internet error. I like my electronics like my dogs: dumb as a mule.
