Milesight WS50x LoRaWAN Wall Switch for Smart Buildings & Facilities Control
The Milesight WS50x is a smart LoRaWAN® wall switch designed for local and remote control of lights and electrical appliances. It can replace traditional wall switches directly and supports web or mobile app remote control when used with Milesight LoRaWAN gateways and Milesight IoT Cloud. Milesight lists typical indoor applications including homes, offices, hotels and museums.
For TITAN customers in Ireland, the WS50x is ideal for facilities management, smart buildings, lighting automation, office control, public sector buildings, schools, hospitality, retail spaces and managed IoT deployments where remote switching and energy visibility are useful.
Ideal for Facilities Management & Smart Building Control
The WS50x is particularly useful where facilities teams want to control or monitor lighting and electrical loads without a complex wired building management retrofit.
Typical Irish use cases include:
- Facilities management switching control
- Smart building lighting control
- Office lighting automation
- School and campus room control
- Hotel and accommodation lighting control
- Public sector building monitoring
- Retail and hospitality lighting control
- Meeting room and shared-space automation
- Remote ON/OFF control for selected electrical loads
- Energy visibility and consumption monitoring
- Time-based switching schedules
- Multi-site managed IoT control projects
The WS50x can also be triggered by other Milesight sensors, making it useful for occupancy-based and scene-based smart building automation.
Remote ON/OFF & Time-Based Control
The WS50x supports both local press control and remote control, allowing lights or suitable electrical appliances to be switched from a wall switch, web interface, mobile app or LoRaWAN command. Milesight also highlights time-based ON/OFF scheduling for automated lighting and device control.
This is useful for buildings where facilities teams want centralised control of lighting or selected circuits across rooms, corridors, offices, public areas or managed sites.
Power Consumption Measurement
The WS50x can collect and report electrical measurements including:
- Voltage
- Current
- Power factor
- Active power
- Power consumption
Milesight lists typical measurement accuracy as ±3%, maximum ±5%, with ±1% customisable.
For facilities management, this adds useful visibility into controlled lighting and appliance loads, helping teams understand usage patterns and support energy-saving projects.
Milesight D2D for Low-Latency Automation
The WS50x supports Milesight D2D, a device-to-device communication protocol that enables selected Milesight LoRaWAN nodes to communicate directly without requiring a LoRaWAN gateway for that control path. Milesight highlights D2D benefits including lower latency, secure transmission and reduced investment cost.
This makes the WS50x useful for automation scenarios involving other Milesight sensors such as PIR/light sensors, scene panels or smart building control devices.
LoRaWAN Wireless Deployment
The WS50x uses LoRaWAN® wireless communication and supports OTAA/ABP Class C operation. Milesight lists frequency options including EU868, making the correct regional version suitable for Ireland and European deployments.
Milesight also states that the WS50x is compliant with standard LoRaWAN gateways and network servers, with transmission range up to 2 km in urban areas and 15 km in rural areas, depending on deployment conditions.
For TITAN projects, the WS50x can be deployed with gateways such as the Milesight UG65 Indoor LoRaWAN Gateway.
1-Gang & 2-Gang Models
The WS50x range includes different models for different switch layouts. Milesight’s ordering information lists:
- WS501 3W-W11-EU — 1-gang, suitable for 86 mm square pattress box
- WS502 — 2-gang, suitable for 86 mm square pattress box
- WS501 3W-W12-US — 1-gang, suitable for 118/120 square pattress box
For Irish projects, TITAN can help confirm the correct model, wiring type and EU868 version before supply.
Electrical Load & Wiring Notes
Milesight lists the WS50x as a 3-wire, neutral-required wall switch with 100–250 VAC, 50–60 Hz input voltage. The maximum current is listed as 5 A per gang for inductive loads, 10 A total, and 10 A per gang for resistive loads, 10 A total. Rated load is listed as maximum 1000 W per gang, total 0–2000 W.
Installation should be completed by a qualified electrician, and the connected load, wiring arrangement and Irish electrical requirements should be checked before deployment.
Compatible LoRaWAN Gateways & Network Servers
The Milesight WS50x can be deployed with standard LoRaWAN gateways and network servers. The Things Network device repository also lists the WS50x as a Milesight LoRaWAN wall switch for local and remote control of lights and electrical appliances.
Common deployment options may include:
- Milesight UG65 Indoor LoRaWAN Gateway
- Milesight UG67 Outdoor LoRaWAN Gateway
- The Things Stack / The Things Industries
- ChirpStack
- AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN
- Actility
- LORIOT
- Netmore
- Orbiwise
- Milesight IoT Cloud
- Milesight Development Platform
- Milesight gateways with built-in network server support
For facilities management projects, TITAN can help align the WS50x with the correct gateway, network server and automation workflow.
