Your journal data
take control of your dataEdge IoT Hub Module
A console for you and your plants. This cutting edge technology is dedicated to storing and managing your data on the Edge Hub module locally, wherever you are. This Edge Hub is used to store your Grow Journal and IoT Sensor data. No internet connection necessary unless you want to combine it with the cloud services.
You only need an active Cloud account when you use the cloud services with your Mobile App or your Edge hub Module.
Extra security and privacy
How better to protect your data by simply not exposing it to the internet. Growgreen.io has taken this a step further, guaranteeing your privacy by using the hardware proximity limitations themselves with Wifi or Bluetooth.
Adaptable and extendable
It is also important to us to create a system that adapts to your existing garden setups. Therefore, the technical architecture of the growgreen.io solutions allows extending your network by connecting more than 10 different pods to the Hub module, independently and whenever your needs grow.
The Hub module is a very low energy consuming solution.
Low running costs
It is an easy to use monitoring system with low running costs that adapts to your existing garden setup where you can add more connected Pods as your needs grow. Low running costs are obtained by leveraging the use of a 5V hardware.
Edge Module Installation
The solution adapts to your existing garden setup, without having to install any other hardware. Simply place the Hub module outside of your growing tents within a range which allows the devices to communicate together by Bluetooth (-10m)

Taking it a step further
How better to protect your data by simply not exposing it to the internet. Growgreen.io has taken this a step further, guaranteeing your privacy by using the hardware limitations themselves. You can use either Wifi or Bluetooth technologies and you can setup your connected garden solution choosing one of the 3 different privacy profiles to suit your needs.
The Hub module only communicates to the POD modules using Bluetooth BLE secured technology. You can set up communication between your mobile device and the Hub module to correspondre to one of the following privacy profiles : Proximity, Household roaming or Cloud and social networks access
Furthermore, inbuilt software based authentication services can be used to keep access to your Hub module and your data protected using an email and password with any of the profiles.
PROXIMITY The most restrained privacy policy relies upon using Bluetooth technologies only. As the Bluetooth technology has a maximum emission range of +/- 10m. This is the first means of keeping your data private. You will only connect to the Hub module from your mobile device, using Bluetooth which implies a certain physical proximity to the Hub module.
HOUSEHOLD ROAMING Using your local WiFi router installation (Provided by
you or your internet provider), you will be able to connect to the Hub module from your mobile
device. As the Wifi technology has a maximum emission range of +/- 25m this will allow household
roaming possibilities according to your installation capabilities. No internet or cloud features
will be used and the hub module will not be publicly accessible through the internet in
this privacy configuration.
* Exceptions may be configured at your convenience, in order to
allow restricted access for application software updates, data backup or a VPN connection. Please protect your local network
by using port forwarding only when using the VPN feature, and do not expose your local network to a DMZ zone.
Then what is The Cloud ?
A remote data store
Your data is stored and managed by growgreen.io. It is only accessible if you are online and connected to the internet.
A service provider
Firmware updates and backup features are cloud services provided by growgreen.io. They are only accessible if the Edge IoT Hub Module is online and connected to the internet through your local WiFi router.
