CURRENT STATUS
Pilot-stage platform development.
MakersHydro® is preparing production-style CAN nodes and local control firmware for real-world pilot validation. It is not a finished consumer product or a cloud dashboard.
FINNISH HYDROPONICS AUTOMATION
Local-first hydroponics automation, built from real grow validation.
MakersHydro® is a local-first hydroponics automation platform for pH/EC monitoring, nutrient dosing, irrigation, environmental control and safer equipment integration — designed to keep critical control close to the plants, not in the cloud.

Not black-box growing. Controlled growing.
CORE IDEA
Measurement, dosing, safety and control stay local.
Internet access, dashboards and integrations can extend the system, but critical hydroponics control is designed to remain inside the local control architecture.
WHY IT EXISTS
Controlled growing without cloud dependency.
Critical control stays local.
Measurement, dosing and safety logic are designed to keep operating locally without internet dependency.
pH/EC and dosing logic
Development focuses on real reservoir behaviour, sensor validation, controlled dosing limits and practical grow-cycle data.
Safer equipment integration
MakersHydro® reduces the need for user-built mains relay wiring by separating low-voltage control logic from equipment power switching.
Maintainable hardware
Task-specific CAN nodes separate measurement, dosing and infrastructure functions so the system can scale without becoming one fragile box.
CURRENT STAGE
From validated grow control to pilot-ready hardware.
Gen 1 proved the control logic in real growing conditions. Gen 2 moves the system to production-style CAN nodes, pH measurement hardware and pump control boards for pilot validation.
GROWING ENVIRONMENTS
Designed for hydroponics, indoor growing and real reservoirs.
MakersHydro® is being developed for hydroponics automation, indoor grow tents, recirculating systems, pH control, EC monitoring, nutrient dosing, irrigation automation and environmental monitoring.

pH/EC control philosophy
pH, EC, nutrient dosing and reservoir chemistry interact. MakersHydro is designed around conservative correction, signal validation, safe dosing limits and local control close to the reservoir.
