Sensor-driven irrigation control and building systems monitoring
Solutions

One control stack, from greenhouse to walk-in

Controlled environment agriculture, greenhouses, and outdoor farms, alongside commercial facilities with leak protection, refrigeration monitoring, and air quality. One closed-loop stack from sensing to valve.

Controlled environment agriculture

Closed-loop crop steering, room by room.

Indoor rooms and vertical farms give you control over every variable. Serious operators steer the plant instead of irrigating on a fixed schedule. Growbud runs that strategy automatically: dry-back targets per stage, pulse irrigation by zone, and Pore EC tracked in real time across stone wool, coco, and peat.

Sensors do not drift in saline hydroponic systems. Edge runs the loop on site even when WiFi fails. AI predictions catch dry-down trends hours before a manual check. The same stack scales from one room to multi-facility operations.

Automated dry-back targets

Hit gen and veg dry-back curves without watching the dashboard. Pulses fire from real VWC, every cycle.

Pore EC under control

Track and steer feed strength continuously. Catch lockout and salt buildup before they show on the plant.

No drift, no excuses

Probes hold calibration in high-salinity slabs and reservoir-fed systems where standard sensors fail in months.

Greenhouses

Uniform dry-backs across every bench.

Greenhouses depend on uniformity. Microclimates between zones, sun on one wall, and drip lines that drift over a season all create variance in yield and shelf life. Growbud closes the loop bench by bench so every zone hits the same target.

Substrate readings drive irrigation decisions automatically. AI predictions anticipate dry-down. Edge keeps controlling even if the office router goes down. Labor that used to walk rows with a moisture probe moves to higher-value work.

Zone-by-zone control

Drive each bench independently from one dashboard. Stop averaging across non-uniform conditions.

Labor savings

Replace manual probe rounds and timer adjustments with control logic that runs 24/7 on site.

Substrate + climate together

Combine root-zone data with environmental readings so feed and irrigation track plant demand, not the clock.

Outdoor farms

Vineyards, orchards, and berry blocks, watered on the numbers.

Outdoor acreage is where irrigation guesswork costs the most. Deficit-grown wine grapes, almond and citrus blocks under salinity pressure, and berries whose brix and pack-out swing with a few hours of water stress all need better control. Growbud replaces the calendar with substrate-driven control per block, matched to what the roots are doing.

Solar-powered LoRa gateways span the property without WiFi or trenching. Edge sits at the pump house and drives valves to the strategy you set, per block and per varietal. AI predictions flag dry-down or stress before the plants show it. The open API connects to the irrigation controllers and fertigation skids you already own.

Per-block strategies

Deficit curves for grapes, leaching for nuts, VWC bands for berries. Different targets per block, one platform.

Trustworthy in salinity

EC and moisture readings stay accurate where reclaimed water and high-salt soils degrade standard sensors.

Coverage without trenching

LoRa reaches across the acreage. Edge keeps controlling at the pump house even when the cell tower drops.

Commercial facilities

Commercial monitoring and local control.

The Growbud Controller speaks Modbus RTU and native BACnet, the languages your BMS already uses. It joins existing building automation as a first-class device with commandable valve, pump, fan, and lighting points.

Air quality sensing runs on the same network: temperature, humidity, VPD, and CO2 across mechanical rooms, offices, and equipment spaces. Readings feed the BMS in real time. When conditions change, ventilation responds automatically.

Install leak sensors in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and under water heaters. The Controller raises the alarm and can shut the supply valve before a drip becomes a flood. Edge keeps everything running locally, with or without internet.

Air quality sensing

Temperature, humidity, VPD, and CO2 monitoring that feeds the BMS in real time from one sensor network.

Leak detection that acts

Water-detect inputs alert your team and can close a valve automatically. Catch failures in rooms nobody visits.

Pumps, lights, and fans

Relay-controlled devices run on schedules or sensor triggers from a single dashboard.

BMS integration

Speak Modbus or BACnet over RS-485. Growbud fits the building management system you already run.

Restaurants

Protect every location from leaks, refrigeration failures, and downtime.

Monitor walk-ins, plumbing, air quality, and critical equipment from one platform. The Growbud Controller alerts your team and can act locally, closing a supply valve and confirming the response, before a small fault becomes a shutdown.

Central alerts, historical reports, and escalation work across an entire restaurant portfolio, and everything keeps running with or without internet.

Protect inventory

Walk-in temperature, door, compressor-power, and condensate monitoring. Know a cooler is failing hours before the product does.

Prevent water damage

Leak detection, automatic valve control, and confirmation that equipment actually responded.

Reduce downtime

Identify abnormal power draw, failed pumps, disconnected actuators, and refrigeration problems while they are still cheap to fix.

Monitor every location

Central alerts, historical reports, and escalation across the whole portfolio, from one dashboard.

Turf management

Water greens, fairways, and fields on the numbers.

Golf courses, sports fields, and municipal turf run on tight water budgets and tighter playability standards. Growbud maps root-zone moisture across the property and turns those readings into irrigation control per zone, so dry spots get water and wet spots do not.

Solar-powered LoRa coverage spans the course without trenching. The Controller drives valves at the pump house or satellite boxes, and Edge keeps every schedule running locally when connectivity drops.

Water where it counts

Zone-level moisture readings replace blanket run times. Cut consumption without sacrificing turf quality.

Consistent playing surfaces

Hold greens and fields inside a target moisture band for firmness and uniformity, day after day.

Coverage without trenching

LoRa reaches across the whole property, and control keeps running on site when the network does not.
