Core offering

Lumo sells an end-to-end precision irrigation platform built around the US-patented Lumo One smart valve — a wireless, solar-powered, cloud-connected valve with built-in controller and built-in flow meter — paired with the Lumo Ops Center cloud software for block-level scheduling, real-time monitoring, fault detection, and water-use reporting. An optional Pump Automation module integrates with the valves to automate pump operations and protect infrastructure. The system is sold to commercial specialty crop growers (primarily wine grape vineyards) who need to automate irrigation by volume, detect leaks and clogs in real time, and manage water delivery across multiple ranches.

Product overview

Lumo offers an all-in-one precision irrigation platform consisting of the Lumo Smart Valve (Lumo One) hardware device with built-in flow meter and onboard computer, paired with the Lumo Ops Center cloud-based software platform for remote control, block-level monitoring, scheduling, and fault detection. The platform also includes an optional Pump Automation module that integrates with the smart valves to automate pump operations. The system is wireless, solar-powered, and cloud-connected, enabling specialty crop growers to automate irrigation by volume, detect issues in real-time, and manage water delivery across their operations.
