How it works
The system, end to end.
Fig. 1 · the network
Everything you need, on site
Your sensors, your data, your control. Run locally with no cloud dependency.
Always-On Local Control
Growbud Edge runs fully on site. Sensors, controllers, and alerts keep working no matter what.
One Control Center
One screen for sensors, automation, alerts, tasks, and reports. Stop switching between tools and logins.
Faster Decisions
Local processing means faster readings, faster alerts, and faster control actions when you need them.
Built for Growbud, Open to More
Works with Growbud sensors and controllers. It can also ingest other LoRaWAN devices.
Advanced Dashboards & Reporting
Optional advanced dashboards for historical trends, comparisons, and audits when you need deeper insight.
Secure, Private, Under Your Control
Your data stays on your network. Export it anytime. No forced cloud dependency.
Built for cultivation teams
Cultivation managers, facility operators, and growers need reliable control during critical grow phases. Edge keeps you running.
Deploy your way
One platform. Three ways to run it.
Your data should adapt as your facility grows. Start in the cloud, move on site, or run a hybrid setup. Configuration and historical data stay portable as you scale.
Not sure which to choose? Start with Cloud. It is the fastest path. When your needs change, your data and configuration move with you to Dedicated or On-Prem.
Growbud Cloud
Up and running in minutes.
Focus: Operational efficiency and remote access.
Access Growbud from anywhere with nothing to install. We handle updates, backups, and security. Your team always uses the latest version. Full REST API access connects Growbud to your existing tools and workflows.
Best for: Teams that want simplicity and quick setup.
Dedicated Cloud
Your own environment, managed by us.
Focus: Data isolation and enhanced security.
Get a private Growbud instance, fully separate from other customers. You get enterprise-grade security and data isolation with a managed service. We handle infrastructure and maintenance, so you get on-prem privacy without the IT burden. Complete API access supports custom integrations and reporting.
Best for: Organizations that need data separation without managing servers.
Fully On-Prem
Complete control on your network.
Focus: Security, compliance, and offline reliability.
Run Growbud entirely on your own infrastructure. Your data never leaves your facility. The system works even when the internet does not. Ideal for strict compliance or air-gapped environments. Local API endpoints support secure integration on your network.
Best for: Teams with regulatory, security, or offline requirements.
Data continuity as you grow
The deployment path you choose today does not lock you in forever. Many facilities start with Growbud Cloud for immediate data collection. When technical or security needs change, we can migrate your full system, including historical trends and SOPs, to Dedicated or On-Prem.
No data loss. No system downtime. No vendor lock-in.
Integrate with Your Existing Systems
Growbud data does not have to live alone. The Growbud REST API gives programmatic access to sensor readings, thresholds, and device information. Export history to your ERP or compliance platform. Trigger external workflows from environmental conditions. Build custom dashboards for your operation.
Available on every deployment option. Cloud, dedicated, or fully on-prem: API access works the same way.
Best for: Teams integrating Growbud with facility management systems, compliance reporting tools, or custom analytics platforms.
