This is a super smart watering device based on four independent moisture sensors and APP control, providing professional watering ways.
The story of GrowCube
In 2013, Elecrow’s founder was worried that the plants would die due to lack of water, so he made a DIY application, he used Arduino to control the steering gear and water pump to achieve the purpose of controlling watering, and wrote down his own production process – that is, “Arduino Automatic Watering System for Plants Sprinkle”, then post it on instructable. He was inspired by the unexpectedly enthusiastic response, which made him realize there are many people who love plants as much as he does. As the number and variety of plants increase, we are thinking of a more friendly watering solution, watering multiple plants through a single node! It’s incredible! The kit has received a lot of positive feedback since it was released on the website.
After listening to plant lovers’ suggestions for this kit, we are committed to turning the kit above into an aesthetically formed product that lowers the barrier to plant care and revolutionizes the convenience of life!
GrowCube is the world’s first smart watering product based on four independent soil moisture sensors and water outlets, combined with exclusive APP, aiming to provide professional and easy watering methods for friends who grow plants.
Most of the watering products on the market are based on manual or timed quantitative mode, but GrowCube has added a smart mode on this basis, which can simultaneously meet the refined watering needs of multiple pots of different plants. GrowCube knows exactly when your plants are thirsty, how much water they need to drink, and waters them.
GrowCube Obtains soil moisture data for plant growth in real-time by reliable soil moisture sensors. By performing tens of thousands of calculations on various common soil environments, the validity of the data obtained by the sensor can be guaranteed to a great extent.
No hardware can ever be really smart without it’s app. The app designed for GrowCube can control each plant and each device, making the whole planting process easier and more fun.
The GrowCube APP provides a massive plant database entry, containing a total of 3000+ common plants. Select the plant you are planting on the APP, and then let GrowCube take over your plant and officially start the smart watering plan dedicated to the plant—it is that simple! At the same time, the APP database contains the introduction of the habits, maintenance knowledge and precautions of various plants.
The ABCD four independent moisture sensor interfaces of the GrowCube correspond to abcd four water outlets respectively. Thanks to this, GrowCube can independently monitor soil moisture of up to 4 pots of different plants at the same time and control the water output of each outlet correspondingly, realizing fine watering management for each pot of plants.
When you have multiple plants or you need to be away for a long time, with the unique external water inlet on the body, the GrowCube can connect to external water sources to meet larger water needs, and you can even use your pool.
GrowCube has built-in anomaly detection and can trigger the device’s self-protection mechanism. When the conditions occur, the device will emit a beep sound and some pop-ups reminder in the APP. After more than 3 times, GrowCube will be automatically locked, increasing the service life of the device. Unlocking is also very simple, just press the side button.
How it works
For most of us city dwellers, watering plants takes time, knowledge, and space—a luxury most of us don’t have. So GrowCube provides three watering modes, you can choose the corresponding mode according to the actual situation and specific needs.
Smart watering is the core function of GrowCube. The soil moisture sensor feeds back the acquired data to the APP and displays it on the homepage of the APP in real-time. Then the APP will compare the suitable moisture range of the plant in the database, when the moisture value is lower than the normal range, the device will automatically water the plants, and when the moisture value is within the normal range, the device will stop watering.
At the same time, the APP will record every change in soil moisture data, and draw it into humidity curves according to different time dimensions, which can be backtracked at any time.
GrowCube has a built-in ambient temperature and humidity sensor, which can detect the ambient temperature and humidity in real time and display it on the homepage of the APP.
Theoretically, watering during high-temperature periods is not recommended for plant growth. In the smart watering mode, you can choose whether to “Avoid watering during the sun exposure period”. If this function is turned on, the device will not water during the daily period of 9AM-6PM.
Automatic watering is the irrigation method used by traditional watering equipment, and GrowCube also supports it. As long as setting the watering mode to automatic watering mode, and then setting the watering duration and interval, timed and quantitative watering can be realized. The 10m-long water pipe in the accessories can be cut free so that each outlet of the GrowCube can water multiple pots of plants, which can easily manage your garden.
If you want to experience the fun of the original manual watering, GrowCube also supports it. You can just click the button on the APP for one-key watering, and freely control the duration and interval of each watering.
