Why the XYLA Relay
Each of the two outputs can independently control a pump or a light on its own timer. Mix irrigation and lighting in a single unit, or run two separate irrigation zones.
At 250mm × 75mm × 92mm, the XYLA Relay is designed to disappear — mount it behind a planter, inside millwork, or anywhere else out of sight.
Full remote control from the Biotic OS companion app: per-channel timers, manual push-button triggers, alerts, and a complete activity log.
Pair with Biotic Instruments PhytoSensors to create a true autonomous system. Sensors measure plant metabolism and trigger watering only when plants need it.
Channel Configuration
The XYLA Relay's two outputs are independently configurable. Each can control either an irrigation pump or a grow light on its own schedule — enabling dual irrigation zones, dual lighting circuits, or a mix of both from a single compact unit.
Channel 1
Connect any 120VAC submersible or inline pump. Schedule watering intervals down to the minute via the Biotic OS app, or automate entirely with a PhytoSensor.
Configurable: pump or light
Channel 2
Drive any standard 120VAC grow light or supplemental lighting fixture. Independent timers mean lighting and irrigation can run on entirely separate schedules.
Configurable: pump or light
System Overview
2 Channel Outputs
NEMA 5-15R outlet rated at 5A. Connect any 120VAC pump or grow light. Independently scheduled via the Biotic OS app or triggered automatically with a PhytoSensor.
Hardware
The XYLA Relay is engineered around a compact, low-profile PCB with dual relay channels, onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and sensor input support — all in a form factor small enough to disappear into almost any installation.
ETL and FCC certified. Built to run continuously, unattended, for years.
Connect a PhytoSensor to any channel and the relay fires only when soil conditions require it — no guesswork, no over-watering.
Both channels accept their own sensor inputs. Different plants, different schedules, different thresholds — all running from a single device.
Sensor-driven watering eliminates the dry pockets and over-saturation that cause plant loss. Plants receive precisely what they need, when they need it.
PhytoSensor Integration
Pair the XYLA Relay with Biotic Instruments PhytoSensors and the system waters your plants without human input. Set your thresholds, walk away.
