Product Details
SoilBot monitors any substrate's moisture regardless of whether it is soil, rock wool, coconut or a recurrent dipping of roots in water — it can also be used in hydroponic setups! It supports up to 4 moisture sensors, giving the possibility to monitor 4 different groups of plants simultaneously. When combined with PowerBot or TankBot, it automates irrigation processes keeping perfect moisture for your plants, avoiding water waste and floods.
With this versatile module, even the substrate temperature can be fully monitored. SoilBot supports 2 temperature sensors that greatly extend its substrate analysis capabilities. By combining SoilBot with PowerBot or TankBot, it is possible to create procedures to keep substrate temperature at the perfect value for your plants to continue growing healthier.
Equipped with a flood detection system, it will quickly detect water leaks and excess water, automatically activating the security features the user has programmed to minimize damages and notify of any anomaly.
SoilBot communicates with GroNode through radio frequency with a range of 25 metres indoors (depending on obstacles) and 100 metres in open spaces, making it easy to install close to your plants.
Using GroLab™ Software, the user can monitor and analyse the different moisture, temperature and flood sensors in real time. The software provides notifications, charts, grow overview and allows exporting sensor values from the beginning of the grow life cycle.
When Internet connection is provided to GroNode, it can send real-time alerts and updates to your email about the state of sensors connected to SoilBot, and will also notify you in case any issues arise.
Its design features a LED that indicates if the module is currently powered on and the connection state with GroNode.
When connecting GroNode to a router with Internet connection, the GroLab™ remote control feature is activated — granting user access from anywhere at any time through easy-to-use software, including full control of SoilBot.
