THE HEART AND BRAIN OF THE OPERATION
GroNode is the core piece of every GroLab system. It controls the entire system and simulates the operation of a brain.
GroNode manages all GroLab modules and allows you to configure all automation procedures based on the available sensors and devices. The GroNode executes hundreds of instructions and stores a large amount of data about your growth variables.
*Each GroNode can control up to 4 PowerBots, 4 TankBots , 4 SoilBots and 4 UserBots. In this way it is very easy and fast to expand the control possibilities of the system, you can just add additional modules according to your needs.
AutonomousGroNode is a powerful computer that can perform hundreds of tasks on its own. You do not need a PC or other third-party device connected to the GroNode to keep working. | |

GroLab Software
The GroLab Software is the control cabin of the system. The main purpose of this software is to allow you to fully configure the entire system, by providing all the tools to customize the settings of modules and devices to the functionalities of each growing system.
Track the progress of your crop(s) through IP cameras and a variety of data inputs, with graphs, historical data and trends. All sensors/actuators data can be easily exported to a friendly file for external in-depth analysis. Using a third-party device capable of logging data in the cloud, the GroLab system can periodically upload data to that device. Thanks to the remote control feature, this easy-to-use software allows you to continue to control and monitor your grow(er) as if you were there.
