GroLab™ Soil is a powerful grow controller that will not only control the basic lighting and climate for you but also provide smart irrigation for your plants.
With SoilBot, GroLab™ is always aware of the moisture of your substrate, feeding your plants only when they really need. A handy flood detector is also included to warn you of possible leaks or floods.

Remote control, real-time notifications, IP cameras integration... are just some of the perks you get with GroLab™

Includes:

• 1 - Starter Kit
• 1 - SoilBot Kit
• 1 - GroLab software, manuals and video tutorials

It comes with a GroNode, a PowerBot, a SoilBot, all the necessary cables, sensors, and connectors. It also includes a USB Pen that contains the GroLab™ Software, instruction manuals, and video tutorials.

SoilBot is capable of handling more peripherals than the ones included in this kit, you can add another flood detector, a temperature sensor, and two extra moisture sensors.

It can be installed in no time, and will fully automate your growing area in a matter of minutes.

Example Configuration

Get rid of all the timers, triplets and messy cables hanging in your growing area, and even save some water and fertilizers.

With this configuration you get precise control of your lamps, configuring the growing days from 18h/6h to 12h/12h in one click, allowing even to make an 8h/8h day if you wish so.

The PowerBot's temperature and humidity probe enable the control of the ventilation, lowering the consumption for this device while optimizing the climate in your growing area.

Connecting two water pumps to PowerBot allows the control of irrigation (hydroponics and soil), from the basic weekday's selection (one hour in the morning every other day) to the enhanced recurrent schedule (5 minutes every hour). The GroLab™ Software allows the creation of schedules to feed any kind of grow type with extreme precision.

Thanks to the SoilBot, you can keep the substrate under control (both soil or hydroponics), constantly monitoring and performing any correction you desire. For example, you can create an alarm that triggers a timed drip irrigation whenever the percentage of moisture in the soil drops to a minimum value, or even use some device to heat or cool the soil based on the SoilBot's temperature sensor. In the hydroponics you can use the substrate moisture sensor to warn you if the bed is getting too dry, meaning a pump might be broken.

Not only it can warn you, but it can also take action and stop the pump. The same happens with the detection of a flood or a leak. Notifications, selective shutdown, are just some of the procedures you can configure.

This configuration easily manages an area with two distinct growing systems, ensuring a complete automation of lighting, climate and proper irrigation for each growing system independently. If you use this configuration you will still have two inputs available for moisture sensors in the SoilBot and one input available in the PowerBot (universal switch sensor, that can be used for a motion/smoke detector or water level sensor).

GroLab™ offers data-logging and data-storing, these features ensure that all the information about sensors/devices is collected and stored over time! Thanks to these and to the data-visualization features, it is possible to do a detailed analysis of the life cycle of your plants, enabling you to maximize their growth and efficiency!

Periodical Updates

GroLab™ Software is always under development. If a newer version is available, the system will automatically update. The same happens for any of the included modules, this means that your GroLab™ Soil Kit will have access to any improvements that our development team implements in the near future.

Modular

Remember, one GroNode supports up to 4 PowerBots, 4 TankBots, 4 SoilBots, and 4 UserBots. You are free to spread them between 4 different areas with two different grows each. Whenever you need a new vegetative, cloning or flowering room, simply extend your GroLab™ system by adding the desired extra modules.

Software (Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10)

GroLab™ Software is the control booth of the system. The main purpose of this software is to allow you to fully configure the whole system, providing all the tools to customize modules and devices settings matching the functionalities of any agricultural growing system. Track your grow(s) progress through IP cameras and a variant of data inputs, featuring graphs, historical data, and trends. All sensors/actuators data can easily be exported to a friendly file for an external deep analysis. Using a third-party device capable of cloud data logging, GroLab™ system can periodically upload data to that device in the JSON format. Thanks to the remote control feature, this easy-to-use software allows you to keep controlling and monitoring your grow(s) like if you were there.

*This kit contains one GroNode, allowing you to further expand your control just by adding extra modules. GroNode can control a max of 4 PowerBots, 4 TankBots, 4 SoilBots and 4 UserBots.
