We love Wi-Fi smart switches, but they’re useless when you need a remote control switch with no Wi-Fi. For equipment in a distant barn, a farm irrigation pump, or a remote cabin, you need a cellular smart switch. TONGOU is breaking that boundary with the TO-Q-SY2-JLT 4G Smart Switch, a device that delivers total control wherever you have a mobile signal.
But what happens when the Wi-Fi signal fades? When your equipment is in a barn hundreds of meters away, at a water pump kilometers down the road, or inside a remote holiday cabin with no broadband? At that point, smart control simply stops. This is the boundary of the traditional smart home.
Today, TONGOU is breaking that boundary. The TO-Q-SY2-JLT 4G Smart Switch was engineered to deliver control far beyond the limits of your router. It doesn’t need Wi-Fi. It doesn’t need a gateway. It comes with its own pre-installed European SIM card, ready to extend your control in Europe with a mobile signal.
To appreciate the 4G revolution, we must first understand the limitations of existing technologies.
Distance Restriction: Wi-Fi signals degrade rapidly through walls and over distance, making it impossible to reliably cover a large property, a detached garage, or outbuildings.
Dependency on Your Router: If your home router reboots, loses power, or you change your password, every Wi-Fi device on your network goes offline.
Gateway Dependency: Zigbee devices require a central Zigbee hub or gateway to function, and they must remain within range of that gateway or another device in the mesh network.
Limited Long-Range Capability: While mesh networking extends range, it is still a “local area” technology, designed for meters, not kilometers.
In essence, Wi-Fi and Zigbee are brilliant for inside the home. But for true, untethered remote control, a new approach is needed.
| Feature | Wi-Fi Smart Switch | Zigbee Smart Switch | TONGOU 4G Smart Switch |
| Control Range | Limited (Tens of meters) | Limited (Meters, extended by mesh) | Unlimited (Global, via mobile network) |
| Dependency | Home Wi-Fi Router | Zigbee Gateway | Independent (Connects directly to cell tower) |
| Best For | Inside the home or office | Dense device networks inside a building | Remote sites, farms, cabins, outbuildings |
| Setup | Pair with Wi-Fi network | Pair with Zigbee gateway | Plug-and-Play (SIM card pre-installed) |
The TO-Q-SY2-JLT works on a fundamentally different principle, much like your smartphone. It doesn’t connect to your home router; it connects directly to a mobile network tower via its built-in 4G module.
This means: If you have a mobile phone signal, your switch is online.
This simple shift delivers three core advantages:
Unlimited Control Range: Control your water pump in rural Bavaria from your office in Berlin. Turn on the heating in your Norwegian cabin while on holiday in Spain. Distance is no longer a factor.
Unmatched Reliability: The switch is completely independent of your home’s internet connection. Even if your home power is out or your router is down, as long as the switch itself has power, it remains online, ready for your command.
Plug-and-Play Deployment: This is the best part. The TO-Q-SY2-JLT comes with a European SIM card already included and activated. There is no complex network pairing, no Wi-Fi passwords to enter, no need to purchase a separate SIM plan. Simply install the device, power it on, and it’s online.
This is where the TO-Q-SY2-JLT truly shines—by solving real-world problems that other technologies can’t touch.
The Problem: A farmer drives several kilometers each day just to turn an irrigation pump or an aerator on and off for a few hours. It’s a daily waste of time and fuel.
The 4G Solution: Install the TO-Q-SY2-JLT in the pump’s control box. Now, from his phone at home, at the market, or on vacation, he can instantly start or stop the pump and set automated schedules, dramatically improving efficiency.
The Problem: A business owner needs to manage power for remote assets like a holiday rental cabin, a mountain-top cellular repeater, or a highway billboard. A simple reboot requires an expensive and time-consuming site visit.
The 4G Solution: When a remote security camera freezes, simply use the app to power cycle the TO-Q-SY2-JLT, performing a hard reboot from anywhere in the world. Easily manage lighting schedules for billboards to save on electricity costs.
The Problem: Critical equipment in unmanned locations—like fish farm aerators, communication room backup fans, or wastewater treatment valves—requires absolutely reliable remote control.
The 4G Solution: The industrial-grade reliability of the TO-Q-SY2-JLT ensures you are always in control when it matters most. Its standard DIN-rail design allows for clean and easy installation into any professional electrical cabinet.
This device was built with the specific needs of the European market in mind.
Hassle-Free Connectivity: The included, pre-activated SIM card is configured to roam across major European 4G/3G/2G networks, ensuring the most stable connection possible, wherever your asset is located.
DIN-Rail Form Factor: Designed to European industrial standards, it can be easily and professionally installed in any standard distribution board by a qualified electrician.
Robust Power Handling: Equipped with a high-quality 40-Amp relay, it can directly control significant loads like pumps, heaters, and motors without the need for an additional contactor.
Proven Smart Platform: It is controlled via the mature and globally recognized Tuya or Smart Life app, offering powerful scheduling, automation scenes, and voice control capabilities.
A: No. The TONGOU TO-Q-SY2-JLT is a true smart switch with a SIM card included. It comes with a pre-installed and activated European SIM card, making the setup incredibly simple.
A: Yes. It is equipped with a high-quality 40-Amp relay, making it powerful enough for most agricultural and industrial applications, such as being a smart switch for remote pump control, managing heaters, or controlling motors directly.
A: The device is designed to be flexible. The included European SIM can roam across major 4G, 3G, and even 2G networks. It will automatically connect to the strongest available signal to ensure the most reliable connection for your GSM smart switch commands.
