It also includes a USB pen that contains the GroLab-software, instruction manuals and video tutorials.
 | GroLab Software is always under development. When a newer version is available, it will be updated automatically. The same happens for all included modules, this means that your GroLab Starter Kit will have access to all the improvements the GroLab development team will be making in the near future. |
 | One GroNode can support up to 4 PowerBots, 4 TankBots, 4 SoilBots and 4 UserBots. You are free to divide them among 4 different rooms with two different grows each. Whenever you need a new grow, clone or bloom room, you can simply expand your GroLab system by adding the desired additional modules. |
What does the GroLab Starter Kit control? - Example Configuration
The GroLab starter kit gives you precise control over your lights, and allows you to configure the growing days from 18h/6h to 12h/12h with one click.
The temperature and humidity probe allows you to control ventilation, reducing the consumption of this device and optimizing the climate in your grow room.
Connecting two water pumps to the PowerBot allows you to control irrigation. With the GroLab software, schedules can be created to feed any grow type with extreme precision.
PowerBot supports multiple sensors, such as smoke/movement detectors that can be used to create safety procedures, or water level sensors to keep you informed of the tank level. There is even support for a flood detector, which allows GroLab to ensure that your crops are not damaged by leaks or flooding, improving the overall safety of your grow room.
GroLab offers data logging and data storage, these features ensure that all sensor/device information is collected and stored over time! Thanks to this and the data visualization functions, it is possible to do a detailed analysis of the life cycle of your plants, so you can maximize their growth and efficiency!
This is a diagram designed to show some of the GroLab StarterKit capabilities. You can rearrange, and even replace, the units with any other device you find useful: lights, fans, dehumidifiers, etc.
If you need more sensors or outputs, or just want to control a different grow room, you just need to add additional modules to this kit (Each GroNode supports up to 4 modules of each type), and expand your control with new features.
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.
