Where we stand
Tinajón Pro isn't for sale yet. This page exists so you can see, without dressing it up, what's done and what's missing.
What's already built
All of this exists and has been tested on real units, not on paper.
The controller
Turns the pump on and off based on the tank level. Three modes depending on how much control you want: automatic, semi-automatic and manual. It protects the pump by cutting off if the cistern runs dry.
Schedules
Set time windows when the pump must not run — to respect your area's water schedule, or to avoid noise at night.
Android app
See the level, turn the pump on or off, switch modes and check the history. Available in Spanish and English.
Works without internet
The most important part: if there's no internet, everything keeps working. The pump runs on its own and you control it from your phone when nearby. The cloud adds features — it's never required.
Alerts
Phone and Telegram notifications when something happens: the tank filled up, pumping failed, the unit went offline.
Voice control with Alexa
The "Tinajon Pro" skill is published in the Alexa skill store — two taps to enable, no technical steps. "Alexa, turn on the water pump", "what's the water level?". Fault and empty-cistern alerts can trigger routines so an Echo announces them out loud.
Share with family
Several people can view and control the same pump, each from their own phone. Useful if you look after your parents' water from far away.
Full manual
Installation, getting started, daily use and troubleshooting — already published and available.
What we're working on
Started and moving. Some of it is on us, some depends on third parties.
The final boards
The circuit works; we're now closing the production board design and adjusting components so they can be manufactured at scale without pushing the price up.
App on Google Play
It's already on Google Play, for now in closed testing with a small group of people. Next step is opening it up to everyone.
Google Assistant
The integration is finished and working; what's missing isn't technical. To appear in the public "Works with Google Home" directory, Google asks that the product already be available for purchase — so we're waiting until the store is open to submit it.
Coming up
This is the order, though we're not putting dates on it yet. We'd rather not promise timelines that don't depend only on us.
iPhone app
The app is built on a technology that allows porting it to iOS; what remains is testing and the App Store publishing process.
Wireless sensor
A tank sensor that talks to the controller over radio, with no cable run up to the rooftop. Aimed at apartment buildings and multi-storey homes.
Power measurement
A version that measures how much current the pump draws — to confirm it actually started, catch a dry run sooner, and warn about wear over time.
First units
Manufacture the first real batch and test them in actual homes, not just on the bench.
The destination: getting one into your home
The last step is getting the unit to whoever wants one, which in our markets is no small detail. That's when Tinajón Pro stops being a project and becomes a product.

A summary of how it's built, in case you like knowing what's underneath:
- The unit measures the level with an ultrasonic sensor — no parts sitting in the water to corrode — and has an OLED screen and two buttons so you can operate it without a phone.
- Remote updates: the unit can update its own software over the internet, verifying the file is authentic before installing it.
- Local first: the app talks directly to the unit over your WiFi when you're home, and only uses the internet when you're away. Offline, everything essential keeps working.
- No cloud dependency: anyone without internet can use the unit by creating its own private WiFi network — no account, no servers involved. This was a designed-for case, not a workaround.
- History: when internet is available, events and readings are stored so you can review consumption over time.
