BH Sensor & Controller Ecosystem
The sensing and control layer for agricultural automation.
Wireless sensors, irrigation controllers, environmental monitoring, and local automation hardware designed to help growers monitor conditions and control real infrastructure.
Designed so critical irrigation decisions can happen locally, even when internet access is limited or unavailable.
Products are currently being validated through local pilot systems before broader production scaling.
How the ecosystem works
2
Connect
Move sensor data through Wi-Fi, ESP-NOW, LoRa, or a local hub depending on site layout and reliability needs.
3
Control
Operate irrigation zones, solenoids, pumps, alerts, and future environmental systems from local rules or dashboard logic.
4
Validate
Use local pilot deployments to validate product performance, installation workflows, and real grower needs before broader production scaling.
Connectivity
Flexible deployment for real growing sites.
Every site is different. The ecosystem is designed around multiple communication paths so products can be validated across greenhouse, high-tunnel, hydroponic, and field-adjacent use cases.
Wi-Fi ESP-NOW LoRa Local hub option Offline-first design Future dashboard integration
Built for automation
Not just sensors. A manufactured product ecosystem.
Manufactured as a modular ecosystem
The product line is designed as a connected hardware ecosystem, with each sensor, controller, and interface module serving a clear role in agricultural automation.
Built around real growing infrastructure
The ecosystem is designed around practical farm and greenhouse infrastructure like drip irrigation, solenoids, pumps, reservoirs, growing zones, sensor nodes, and controller interfaces.
Local-first reliability
Critical irrigation workflows should not depend on perfect internet access. The system direction prioritizes local control paths for real growing environments.
Recommended Starting System
Start with a practical irrigation automation pilot.
For most greenhouse and high-tunnel pilot deployments, the recommended starting point is a Smart Controller, one or more Soil Sensors, and an Irrigation Zone Controller.
This creates a clear validation path: measure moisture conditions, decide when irrigation is needed, and control the watering hardware with a repeatable product stack.
