Every space on its own plan. The whole site on one screen.
A Kinokora Hub is the larger-space design: one controller with separate sensor and control nodes. It is in development for mushroom, hydroponic and polyhouse setups. It is not a finished installation you can buy.
The larger-space design
One hub per space and nodes on one cable are the plan. Those nodes are not for sale.
A hub per space
The design gives each space its own controller. That separation is not a finished installation.
Nodes where you need them
Climate, soil and relay nodes are planned on one wired chain. A count of nodes per hub is a design limit, not a released specification you can order.
Adding a node
The design is that a new node joins the chain and is named in the app. That flow is not released.
Checking that equipment ran
Current sensing is part of the hardware design. It is not a feature we claim works on a box you can buy today.
If a hub goes quiet
The design intends relay nodes to keep a local schedule. That behaviour is not a released feature.
Wired first
The hub design uses a cable to the farm network, with Wi-Fi as a backup. It is not installed equipment.
One cable through the space
Nodes connect one after another on a single cable — the Hub at one end, nodes along the way. Put a climate node at each rack level, soil nodes in the beds and relay nodes next to your equipment.
- Power and data on the same cable
- Grow by adding a node to the chain
- A wired line does not drop out behind metal racks and walls the way Wi-Fi can
The control idea
The design measures, compares with stage targets, switches equipment and checks that it ran. This is not a claim that a hub you can buy does this today.
- Stage targets are in the crop plan
- Output modes are part of the design
- Safety limits are meant to stay on the device
Mix and match for each space
Each node has its own page with what it measures, how it is set up and when it is available.
Kinokora Hub
The brain for a commercial space, with wired child nodes.
Climate node
Air temperature, humidity and CO₂ where your crop is.
Soil / bag node
Moisture and bag temperature, so watering is on time.
Relay node
Four switched sockets that check they really turned on.
Water node
pH, EC, water temperature and tank level for hydroponics.
Light node
Measure the light your crop really gets.
Pump / dosing node
Measured watering and nutrient dosing.
Speed control node
Smooth 0–10 V control for EC fans and LED drivers.
Power node
Know when the grid is down and what your space costs to run.
Hobby or commercial
| Solo | Hub + nodes | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | One tent or small space | Grow spaces, polyhouses, farms |
| Brain | All in one box | One Hub per space |
| Sensors | Built into the box | Climate and soil nodes anywhere in the space |
| Equipment | 4 sockets | Relay nodes with 4 outputs each |
| Equipment check | Not claimed on a box you can buy | Current sensing is a design note, not a released feature |
| Connection | Wi-Fi in the small-space design | Wired network in the hub design |
| Growing bigger | Another Solo is a later kit | More nodes per hub is a design limit, not an order |
How a conversation starts
- Tell us about your farmYour crop, number of spaces and location. This does not reserve hardware.
- Plan the layoutA later conversation can look at which nodes would go where. Nothing here is an installation agreement.
- InstallMains wiring, if you add equipment later, needs a licensed electrician.
- Use the appYou can pick a crop in the app now. A hub running each space is not released.
Made for growing businesses
Mushroom farms
People planning more than one mushroom space. The hub for that is in development.
Polyhouses
People planning a covered growing space. This is not a finished climate installation.
Indoor farms
Racks of microgreens, herbs and leafy greens.
FPOs and institutes
One system across member farms or research spaces.
Good to know
What happens if the hub stops?
A local schedule on a relay node is a design intention. It is not a released behaviour, so do not plan a crop on that claim.
Can I start with one space?
Yes. Start with one Hub and a few nodes, then add spaces with more Hubs.
Can I use my existing fans and misters?
The design is to switch equipment you already have. Compatibility is not guaranteed, and a licensed electrician should connect mains.
Can we try it on our farm first?
Ask for a pilot on the Partner page — tell us your crop, spaces and location.
