Pump Status, Control & Protection
Switch it from anywhere. Protected whether you are watching or not.
A pump is the most expensive thing in a pump room and the least observed. It runs dry and the seals go; it runs on two phases and the winding cooks; it runs all night because nobody switched it off. The APCON smart driver replaces the starter panel with a controller that switches the pump, protects the motor electrically, and reports what it did.

What makes it work
The parts of the diagram above that are doing the real work.
Four protections, always armed
Dry run when the source empties, overload when current passes the motor's limit, phase failure when a phase is lost, and low or high voltage outside the safe window. Each one cuts the motor in milliseconds and logs why. All four live inside the driver on the wall — no cloud, no Wi-Fi, no phone in the decision.
Control from anywhere
Start and stop from the app wherever you are, with live current, voltage and run hours while it works. The same numbers your service team reads, so most faults are diagnosed before anyone visits the pump room.
Automation that knows both ends
Tie the pump to the tanks either side of it and it runs itself: start when the destination is low AND the source has water, stop when the destination is full. That single rule is what removes both the overflow and the dry run.
How it is done
Every step below is a retrofit on the system you already have — no replacement pumps, no civil work.
- 1
Replace the starter with the driver
The APCON smart driver takes your old starter panel's place on the wall — starter, controller and monitoring in one box. Your pump, plumbing and wiring stay exactly as they are.
- 2
Protection first, locally
Dry run, overload, phase failure and voltage faults are detected and acted on inside the driver. That logic never depends on the cloud, your Wi-Fi or your phone — the motor is protected even when everything else is down.
- 3
Automate the switching
Tie the pump to the tank levels either side of it and it runs itself: start when the destination is low and the source has water, stop when the destination is full.
- 4
Control and review from the app
Start/Stop from anywhere, live current and voltage while it runs, and run-hour history that tells you a bearing is going weeks before it goes.
What it takes
- APCON smart motor driver — single phase or three phase
- Level sensors on the source and destination tanks for automatic switching
- The Devyami app for control, live electricals and history
What you get
- Dry run, overload, phase failure and voltage faults stopped before damage
- Start/Stop from anywhere — no trip to the pump room
- Current and voltage trends that warn you a motor is wearing out
- Run hours per pump, for planned maintenance instead of emergencies
Questions, answered
Do I still need a separate starter panel? ＋
No. The APCON smart driver IS the starter — it replaces that panel and adds the controller and the monitoring in the same box. That is what makes it a retrofit rather than an addition.
What happens to protection if the internet fails? ＋
Nothing. Every protection — dry run, overload, phase failure, voltage — runs inside the driver on the wall. The cloud carries the view and the alerts; it is never part of the decision to cut power to a motor in trouble.
The rest of the system
Every capability runs on the same controllers, the same app and the same live data.
Accurate Tank Level Monitoring
Two ways to read a tank — non-contact ultrasonic on the lid, or a contact hydrostatic level transmitter hanging in the water. Both report live percent and litres, warn you before an overflow or an empty tank, and feed the same reading the controller switches your pumps on.
How it is done →Digital Flow Monitoring & Water Metering
Digital flow meters turn every pipeline into a number you can manage: litres pumped today, consumption per wing or per site, and totals you can export. Water metering is also your leak detector — flow at 3 AM when everyone is asleep is a leak announcing itself.
How it is done →Hot Water Circulation
A monitored circulation loop keeps hot water at every tap the moment it opens — no running the shower cold for a minute. The app watches loop temperature, runs the circulation pump only when needed, and coordinates heat pumps and geysers so comfort never fights efficiency.
How it is done →HPN & Multi-Pump Pressure Systems
Hydro-pneumatic (HPN) systems keep constant pressure across a whole building: pumps cascade in as demand rises, rotate duty so they wear evenly, and stand by for each other. A pressure transmitter on the header puts live line pressure in the app — lead/lag status, pressure trends and every changeover.
How it is done →Timer & Scheduler — Irrigation & Fountains
Garden irrigation, landscape zones and fountains run to a schedule you set once from your phone: start time, run duration, which days, which zone. The controller keeps time locally, skips a cycle when the tank is too low to spare the water, and logs every run.
