V6 AutoGen Automatic Start Generator Controller.
The V6 AutoGen smart controller is our new flagship auto start generator controller and is available in 2 different models.
WiFi or WiFi + LoRa
With its standard WiFi connectivity, the controller connects to the internet, therefore sending and receiving data, which is accessible from our AutoGen app.
The V6 AutoGen WiFi auto start generator controller has the added functionality of communicating with our LoRaGen controller.
LoRa (short for long range) is a spread spectrum modulation technique derived from chirp spread spectrum (CSS) technology. LoRa devices and wireless radio frequency technology is a long range, low power wireless platform that has become the de facto technology for Internet of Things (IoT) networks worldwide. LoRa devices enable smart IoT applications that solve some of the biggest challenges facing our planet: energy management, natural resource reduction, pollution control, infrastructure efficiency, disaster prevention, and more.
LoRa devices have amassed several hundred known uses cases for smart cities, smart homes and buildings, smart agriculture, smart metering, smart supply chain and logistics, and more.
With this technology we have created a link between the main V6 AutoGen smart controller to send and receive sensor data.
As a result, device to device networking brings connectivity to hard to reach places. Now the V6 AutoGen Auto start generator controller with WiFi + LoRa can send or receive data or sensor readings from a LoRaGen controller, through low power wireless communication.
That’s right, wireless communication at only 1 watt! With the standard 3.0dBi gain fitted antenna, controllers can create a local connected network with an effective range upto 8 kms / 5 miles.
Here are a few brief examples of receiving data from a distance using LoRa:
- Measure battery bank voltage or check for the presence of mains utility ac voltage over long distance.
- Check water level depth of a holding tank at remote location.
- Receive an analogue signal from external device or controller(3 analogue inputs available).
- Measure temperature or humidity in a greenhouse.
- Send commands to turn on/off relays on LoRaGen controller( 2 relay digital outputs available).
- Monitor pressure valves over long distance…etc
The entire AutoGen auto start generator controller range is compatible with any electric start generator. A microprocessor controls the automatic start and stop sequence, furthermore making it the smartest auto start generator controller on the market. The controller connects through wifi and with our AutoGen app for iOS and Android you have some of the following key features:
- Monitor battery volts
- Charging amps
- Generator running status
- Manual start and stop from any location
- Error notifications sent through email
- Select daily start and stop timers
- Select daily quiet timers
- History graph and option to export a csv file … plus more
When the V6 AutoGen smart controller senses a low battery bank level or loss of grid power, it will start your generator. It attempts to start 3 times. If your generator is unable to start due to mechanical failure, it enters an error state and a notification email is sent to correct the malfunction.
Firstly, the V6 AutoGen smart controller constantly monitors battery bank voltage or grid power. As a result, it will start your generator automatically to recharge your batteries or supply power to your loads. Secondly, when batteries have reached 100% SOC, or grid power is back online, the generator is shut down. Therefore, the entire startup and shutdown of your generator is automated, giving you peace of mind. Always have power when needed!
We have performed various range tests successfully at a distance of 8 kilometres / 5 miles LoS(line of sight) between V6 / V7 AutoGen and LoRaGen controllers. No packet loss was observed at these distances.
Check out the V7 AutoGen GSM Ethernet with LoRa here.
Even with some small hills, trees and buildings obstructing the LoS, we managed to receive a great signal at 6 kilometres / 3.67 miles. Transmission power set at only 1 watt every few seconds.
An example of V6 or V7 AutoGen auto start generator controller with a LoRaGen smart controller installation.
Your generator is located at a distance from a water well or bore pump. The generator starting process is automated via an installed V6 or V7 AutoGen smart controller connected to the internet and is the main power source for the bore pump. This can be either of the following, wifi, ethernet or gsm depending on selected model.
The water well has no way of communicating to the internet, so we can send a direct LoRa signal to the V6/V7 AutoGen to start the generator. With a LoRaGen installed at remote location , we can send the water level sensor reading directly to the V6/V7 AutoGen, automating the start and stop process.
Additionally we can control 2 external relays at the LoRaGen location by sending the commands either automatically from the V6/V7 AutoGen controller or manually via AutoGen app.

V6 AutoGen Auto start generator controller has 3 outputs which are programmed to power 3 external 12v relays.
The default configuration is for a Kill engine relay, a Starter relay and an Auxiliary relay.
If you have any special requests, we can alter the sequence of relay activation, timing, etc with a quick OTA(over the air) update. Contact us with your requests and we can make the alterations pre or post sale.
The greatest advantage of the entire AutoGen generator controller range over our competitors, is the ability to update any parameter Over The Air. Need an alteration made in settings, perhaps an added feature like reading a particular sensor or controlling a load via a relay? Easily done. No other auto start generator controller on the market can compete with the flexibility of the AutoGen.
The perfect backup system for off grid, solar, wind, telecommunications, boats, rv, caravans, etc.
