Let's start to add modules.
In this menu we have an upper menu dedicated to each kind of module
If you have more then one module of each type, you can access them on the vertical menu on the right.
Let's start by connecting PowerBot.
Installing PowerBot is quite easy.
Let's start by placing it in a high surface, away from any water source.
We insert the antenna and we connect the temperature and humidity sensor.
We connect it to the mains power, we connect our ballast/light, extraction,
irrigation pump and the water oxygenation system.
Now we have the module fully connected.
Let's make sure our power outlets are working.
We turn it on and manually you can turn on/off all your peripherals.
We can see that the light is working, extraction also, water pump also and finally the water pump.
Now let's go to our software and we can see that GroNode has located our PowerBot,
from now on we have access to it via the GroLab Software.
The first we do is to configure the peripherals we have connected to PowerBot.
We start with the external temperature sensor.
We select the icon of the sensor and we assign it a name.
This is really important so we can identify our peripherals
in the Areas and Grows menu.
Now we start to configure the peripherals connected to the power outlets.
In this case we'll start with the light.
We assign the power consumption of the selected element.
so we can calculate the full power consumption of our grow in real time.
Finally we give it a name.
We repeat this process for each one of the power outlets.
In the right top corner of the module, we see a green icon that indicates us
the connection status of itself.
If it's green it means everything is ok.
If it's overlay with a forbidden symbol, it means you have a connection problem.
This can be cause by interferences or structural barriers.
It's always recommended to keep your modules close to GroNode.
If your router is too far from your grow, we give an advice.
You can use a Wifi signal repeater, or a repeater that communicates by the mains,
so you can make a bridge between GroNode and your router.
On the top left corner you have available a button to eliminate the respective module.
This will only be useful if you want to change the position of your module,
or connect it to a second GroNode.
In the next tutorials we see how to connect and configure SoilBot and TankBot.
If you don't have this modules,
you can skip directly to the tutorials for Areas and Grows configuration.
