In order to register an Agrowtek Hub to your Growlink Account, login to the Mobile App and tap the settings cogwheel in the top right of the mobile app:
Within the Settings menu, tap the ‘Add New Hardware’ option:
Adding a New Controller
Select the ‘Add a New Controller’ option in the following menu if you’re connecting a new Agrowtek Hub to your account:
Selecting this option will open the Controller registration wizard within the Growlink Mobile App. Follow the steps in the wizard to connect the Agrowtek hub to your network via WiFi or Ethernet, depending on your personal preference:
Once the controller has been registered to your account, you will be prompted to select a Room. If no Room exists, tab the button to ‘Create a new room’ at the bottom of the page:
Once a new room has been created, you will be taken to the Profile page of the new room to edit any important settings, such as the desired time zone, day range, and lighting shutdown temperature failsafe. Once the room’s profile has been configured, tap the ‘Save and Add Devices’ button at the bottom to begin registering devices to your created room:
Note: The Lighting Shutdown Temperature failsafe is a failsafe that exists on every Growlink Controller. This failsafe will shut off any ‘Lights’ device if any recorded temperature reads above the specified value in order to protects the plants in the room. The lights will turn back on once the temperature has dropped below the value specified for at least 10 minutes.
Add New Devices to an Existing Agrowtek Hub
To add new devices to an existing Agrowtek Hub, go to the ‘Add a New Device’ option within the Settings menu, and select the ‘Add New Device’ option in that page:
The Agrowtek Hub will now iterate through the list of currently connected devices one module at a time and populate what devices have yet to be registered to the Agrowtek Hub.
Sensor Modules will display their sensor readings, and their associated sensor names and sensor types can be renamed if desired:
Device output modules will have a Device name and device type field per output, which allows the user to rename the output and device type to match the device being controlled by the output:
Lighting Control modules will have a ‘Manufacturer’ drop-down list, where the user can specify the make of lights connected to the module:
To skip a specific module from being registered to your Agrowtek Hub, tap the ‘Skip’ button at the bottom of the wizard:
Once the sensor or devices have been named to your liking and any required fields for the module have been designated, one can tap the ‘Add & Next’ button to move onto the next module detected by the Agrowtek Hub:
Once all currently detected modules are registered or skipped, a final confirmation window will populate that will list all skipped modules. In this window one can add those modules to the controller or keep them from being registered. If all desired modules have been added to the controller registration click the ‘I’ve Registered All Connected Devices’ button to finish the setup wizard:
The controller will take a configuration update, and one will be taken to the dashboard of the controller where one can see sensor data from registered modules:
Congrats! You have finished setting up your Agrowtek Hub.
