GroLab™ GroNode

Although it may not seem like it, GroNode is a powerful computer that can do hundreds of tasks by itself. This means that it is not necessary to have a PC or other third-party device connected to GroNode for it to continue working. GroLab™ Software is only required to configure the system and to monitor your grow(s).

GroLab™ has several layers to protect your data, in addition to the credentials needed to access GroLab™ Software the system also requires credentials to access GroNode. This means that if your PC gets compromised the GroLab™ will stay safe. E-mail notifications are also secured, GroNode uses a private server as a redirection point to send notifications, this way the IP can't be linked to your location. Remember that GroLab™ can operate without Internet connection, using it that way entirely hides it from the world.

There are two main types of programmable procedures, alarms and schedules. GroNode has the ability to store and execute up to 100 of each type allowing a precise and extensive automation of any grow(s).

GroNode has the ability to perform hundreds of tasks simultaneously. This capacity provides to the GroLab™ system a fast and precise reactions based on the desired user instructions.

GroNode communicates with other modules through radio frequency with a range of 25 meters indoors (depending on obstacles) and 100 meters in open spaces. This makes it easy to organize the modules through the growing area(s) or even on the outside.

GroNode can be configured, monitored and controlled by an easy-to-use software. You can choose whether you connect GroNode to a router, directly to PC or to other access point with Ethernet support.

When you provide Internet connection to GroNode it can send real time alerts and updates to your e-mail, keeping you updated about the state of your grow(s) anywhere, anytime.

GroNode has its own memory that is capable of storing hundreds of thousands of data. With data-logging and data-visualization features, it is possible to do a detailed analysis about the life cycle of the user’s plants.

When connecting the GroNode to a router with an Internet connection, it allows you to activate the GroLab™ system's remote control. This feature grants user access from anywhere at any time through an easy-to-use software. Allowing to fully control all the modules.

It is possible to create complex security protocols using alarms (one of the main programmable procedures type). They provide several tools to prevent, notify or even react to risk situations. One of the possible reactions is to suspend some parts or even the whole system until the user gives the order to continue. When a security alarm activates, GroNode will blink red and can also be configured to emit a loud beeper and send e-mail notifications.

This is another feature that makes the bridge between your grow(s) and the online world. Connecting GroNode to the Internet allows the user to configure a cloud server to periodically upload the data-log from all sensors/devices. One feature that opens the door to a multitude of advanced data analysis possibilities, essential for comprehensive studies.

GroNode supports IP cameras allowing the user to keep their grows and surrounding areas under constant surveillance from anywhere at any time, through an intuitive interface provided by the GroLab™ Software.
