Build anything on top.
Growbud connects the equipment floor to your IT systems. Sensors, meters, valves, chillers, and PLCs join over Modbus, BACnet, CANopen, and LoRaWAN. Your BMS, apps, and data tools read them back as BACnet/IP points, REST endpoints, and Home Assistant entities. Build monitoring and control for a greenhouse, an office building, a walk-in cooler, or anything you can wire up.

02 / OT to IT
Field devices on one side. Your IT systems on the other.
Operational technology (OT) speaks Modbus, BACnet MS/TP, and LoRaWAN. IT speaks IP, REST, and BACnet/IP. The Growbud Controller and Edge Server sit between them, so the same reading from a substrate probe, a tenant meter, or a walk-in lands in your BMS, your app, and Home Assistant without a second gateway.

Connect the equipment floor
LoRaWAN and Bluetooth sensors across the site. Modbus RTU and BACnet MS/TP on RS-485, and CANopen, in the equipment room. Valves, relays, leak and flow inputs on the Controller.

Any reading can drive any output
Rules, schedules, and interlocks run on the Controller and the Edge Server, so a valve still closes when the internet is down. If a Modbus or CANopen device is missing, we usually add its profile in days.
03 · IT out
Hand it to the systems you run
BACnet/IP and REST on your own subnet, a Home Assistant integration, and a documented cloud API. Isolated VLANs and air-gapped sites are supported. No vendor lock-in.

Where Growbud runs today
Three kinds of sites, one set of hardware.
The same sensors, Controller, and Edge Server run all three. If your site is something else, the parts are the same. Tell us what you want to connect.

- Free US and Canada shipping on orders of $200 or more
- 90-day returns, no questions asked
- 1-year limited warranty
- Data export over Modbus, BACnet, and REST
- Shipping and returns
- Every price is published
- Sensors, controllers, and gateways are listed with their prices on this site. No quote form, no dealer, no discovery call before you can work out whether it pencils out for your operation.
- Your data is not the product
- Readings live on your site and speak Modbus RTU, native BACnet, CANopen, and a full REST API, so your history exports whenever you want in formats your other tools already read. Edge runs the loop locally and keeps running with the internet unplugged. We sell you equipment, not access to your own numbers.
- Assembled in the USA
- Dro, Vero, and the Controller are assembled in the USA. Almost all equipment is made overseas. The people who assemble your hardware are the people who answer your support email.
Integrations
Works with the systems you already run.
Growbud does not ask you to replace your BMS, your network, or your dashboards. Every reading and every output is available on the IT side in the form those systems expect.
- BMS · BACnet and Modbus
- The Controller drops into an existing system as a BACnet MS/TP or Modbus device. The Edge Server serves BACnet/IP on your subnet.
- Home Assistant
- Valves, switches, fans, and levels arrive as native entities. No Growbud account, no cloud.
- REST API
- A documented API, in the cloud or served locally by the Edge Server. Pull readings into your own apps and data tools.
- Your own LoRaWAN
- Join the sensors to the network server you already run, or use a Growbud gateway.
Start here
Start with a kit. Add to it as the business grows.
Every kit uses the same parts as a full site. Add sensors, meters, and Controller outputs later without replacing anything.
Software
One platform from the sensor to the dashboard.
The Growbud platform connects sensing, control, monitoring, and automation, with a free app for Growbud hardware owners. It watches the site while you are away and tells you early when something drifts. Growbud AI extends that foundation with Vision, Digital Twin, AR/VR, and AI fusion algorithms.
Free app
growbud.app
Pair a single sensor, review live readings, and add gateways and controllers when the site needs continuous monitoring or automation. Monitor sensors, configure alerts, and analyze trends from any device. Free for all Growbud hardware owners, on mobile and web.
Run the hardware from Home Assistant, join the sensors to your own LoRaWAN network, and pull Growbud data into third-party applications through a documented REST API. No vendor lock-in.

Premium platform
In developmentgrowbud.ai
Growbud AI extends the Growbud platform with Vision, Digital Twin, AR/VR, and AI fusion algorithms. Connect scheduled imagery to sensor readings and equipment actions in a live spatial model you can explore on screen or in AR/VR.
Greenhouses, CEA and commercial properties on the same platform. Connect offices, warehouses and post-harvest storage, or greenhouses and controlled-environment agriculture.
In active development. Run it on your own hardware with data kept on site, or choose managed cloud hosting. Your data is not used to train AI models unless you explicitly agree.
