Switching the floodlights on from the pitchside button or from the app, automatic switch-off at the end of the session and blocking of the switch-on when there is enough natural light, on 16 relay outputs. Temperature of the changing rooms, leaks in the showers and in the pump room. LoRaWAN radio transmission.
What it does
- Two controllers with 8 outputs, installed in the floodlight panel, drive the contactors of the lighting lines: up to 16 independent circuits, for example two switch-on groups per pitch plus the paths and the car park.
- Each pitch has its own wireless button. One press switches the floodlights of that pitch on for the time set, then they switch off by themselves: no floodlights left on at the end of the evening.
- The light sensor outside measures the natural illuminance: above the threshold set, the switch-on request is ignored, below the threshold it is carried out.
- From the app the office switches each pitch on and off remotely, sets general switch-off times and sees which floodlights are on at that moment.
- Two temperature and humidity sensors in the changing rooms warn when the temperature drops towards zero, before the pipes and the boiler freeze.
- Two leak sensors in the showers and a 3 m sensing cable in the irrigation pump room report water on the floor with an immediate notification.
- The history of switch-ons, temperatures and alarms can be consulted from a smartphone and from a PC.

How it is installed
What is in the kit

| Qty | Device | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wall or pole LoRaWAN gateway, IP65 | It collects the data from the sensors and forwards the commands to the controllers. Ethernet, Wi-Fi and PoE. |
| 2 | Controller with 8 relay outputs, DIN rail | It switches the floodlight circuits on and off through the contactors, from a button, on a schedule or from the app. |
| 1 | Outdoor light sensor, 0-100,000 lux | It blocks the switch-on of the floodlights when the natural light is enough. |
| 4 | Wireless button with short, long and double press | Switch-on request from the pitch. |
| 2 | Temperature and humidity sensor, IP67 | Frost and humidity alarm in the changing rooms. |
| 2 | Water leak sensor, IP67, with buzzer | Water on the floor in the shower area. |
| 1 | Leak sensor with 3 m sensing cable, IP67 | Leaks in the irrigation pump room. |
Milesight devices of the highest quality with the manufacturer's warranty. Batteries included in the sensors and the buttons; the gateway and the controllers are mains powered.

Before you order
Is an internet connection needed at the club?
It is needed at the point where the gateway is installed: a network socket or the club house Wi-Fi. The buttons, the sensors and the controllers do not use Wi-Fi, they talk to the gateway by radio. If there is no line at the pitch the version with the 4G gateway is available, which requires a data SIM (not included, any operator, traffic below 1 GB per month). It is chosen when ordering.
Does the signal reach the furthest pitches?
In open country the LoRaWAN radio covers several kilometres: the manufacturer states up to 2 km in an urban area and 15 km in open country. The pitches, the changing rooms and the pump room of a sports centre are covered by a single gateway. The delicate point is the floodlight panel: inside a metal cabinet the controller does not receive, it has to be mounted in a plastic enclosure. For several facilities scattered across the municipality the «extended coverage» variant is available, with an IP67 outdoor gateway and long pole antennas.
Which floodlights can I control?
Any floodlight, LED or discharge, on a single-phase or three-phase line: the controller does not power the floodlight, it closes a contact that pilots the contactor of the line. Each output carries 10 A resistive and 5 A inductive, 16 A in total per controller. The lighting towers, the floodlights and the existing panel are not included: the kit controls the installation you already have. The controller in the kit does not measure consumption.
How does the pitchside button work?
The button sends three different commands: short, long and double press. In the initial configuration the short press switches the floodlights of the pitch on for the duration of the session and the long press switches them off; the double press can be used to extend. A few seconds pass between the command and the switch-on. If the light sensor measures a value above the threshold, the request is not carried out. The button confirms the sending with an LED and a buzzer.
Does it connect to the pitch booking software?
The gateway accepts commands and sends data in MQTT or HTTP. If your booking software has an interface of this kind, the switch-on can follow the booked slot. The integration depends on the software: write to us from the contact section stating which one you use.
I have more than 4 pitches or a different facility
The kit is configured on the facility: the two controllers make 16 outputs available, each additional pitch requires a button and possibly a contactor; the gateway and the platform stay the same. Write to us from the contact section stating the number of pitches, lighting circuits per pitch, changing rooms and the distance of the panels: we will send you the composition and the quotation for the adapted kit.
Battery life
Buttons more than 7 years with about ten presses a day. Light sensor up to 10 years and temperature and humidity sensors from about 6 to more than 10 years, with one reading every 10 minutes at 25 °C. Shower leak sensors about 5.7 years with a button cell, pump room sensor up to 10 years. All the batteries are replaceable, with the level visible in the app. The gateway and the controllers are mains powered.
Where is the data consulted and are there any fees?
On the manufacturer's app and portal, from smartphone and PC, with charts, thresholds and notifications; no fee for basic use. Where there is management software for the club or a municipal platform, the gateway can also send the data to that system (MQTT or HTTP): the configuration is included.
What happens if there is no internet?
The rules that link the buttons, the light sensor and the outputs can be loaded on the gateway, which carries them out even without a connection to the cloud: the buttons keep switching the lights on and the sessions keep switching off. What stops are the commands from the app and the notifications, which resume when the line comes back. If the gateway loses power the system stops: it is advisable for the electrician to leave a manual-automatic selector switch on the panel, so the floodlights can always be operated by hand.
Is an electrician necessary?
Yes, for the two controllers: they work at 230 V and have to be connected in the floodlight panel together with contactors and protective devices. Everything else is battery powered and is fixed with screws, clamps or double-sided tape, with no cables.
What is not included
- Lighting towers, floodlights, lines and electrical panel: they are those of your installation
- The data SIM, in the version with the 4G gateway
- The electrical connection of the controllers in the panel
- The protection for the buttons exposed to the rain: a canopy or a box with a door
- In the "devices only" version: enclosures, contactors, circuit breakers, cables, clamps and small fittings
