One box for a small growing space.
Kinokora Solo is the small-space kit we are preparing. The app can plan the space before any box is connected. A supported box can read the room and switch equipment you connect.
What the small-space kit is being built to include
This is the design for the first kit. It is not for sale on this website.
Senses the environment
The planned kit uses temperature, humidity and CO₂ sensors, plus probes for bag or bed temperature.
Four switched outputs
The design has four outputs for equipment you connect, such as a fan, mister, heater or light. Compatibility is not a promise for every appliance.
Crop plan in the app
You can pick a crop in the app before any box is connected. A connected box following stage targets is part of the design, not a released shop feature.
Phone first
Tasks and a journal work in the app. Live readings and alarms need a connected box, and those are not claimed as generally available.
Safe by design
Safety limits stop a heater or mister from running out of control.
Easy to connect
Joins your home Wi-Fi or a phone hotspot. Setup happens in the app.
What the app is meant to show
The current Home screenshot is an empty first space. Live readings, graphs and equipment state are for a connected box, and they are not shown as a working farm on this site.
- Tasks and a journal can live in the app with no box
- Equipment modes are part of the hardware design
- Do not read the example diagrams as live farm data
Set up in five steps
- Get the appKinokora is not on the Play Store or the App Store. Join early access, or use a build you were given.
- Power the boxWhen you have a kit, plug in Solo and keep your phone close.
- ConnectThe setup notes describe adding a box from the app. That step needs the hardware.
- Tell it what is plugged inThe design asks you to name the equipment on each output. A licensed electrician connects mains.
- Pick your cropYou can choose a crop in the app with no box. A box keeping the tent on target is the design, not a product you can buy here.
Made for small spaces
Mushrooms
Oyster and other food mushrooms in a tent or cupboard. This is the first kit we are preparing. This website does not sell kits.
Microgreens
Trays on a shelf, ready in days.
Herbs
Basil, mint and more, all year round.
Leafy greens
Lettuce and spinach under lights.
Good to know
Solo or Hub?
Solo is for one tent or a small space. For bigger spaces, polyhouses and farms, a Hub with wired nodes is the better fit — see the Commercial page.
Can I grow more later?
The design allows another small-space kit, or a hub for a larger space. This website does not sell either one.
Do I need an electrician?
For mains (230 V) wiring, yes. Solo switches mains-powered devices, so a licensed electrician should connect them.
Can I build my own box?
Yes. With the first firmware release you can install Kinokora on your own board straight from your browser, on the Flash page.
