NIDO Hardware

The NIDO continuously monitors key factors in your hydroponic system, such as pH, EC, temperature, humidity, VPD, water temperature, and water level. It also controls essential greenhouse equipment like irrigation, and lights through Wi-Fi-enabled NIDO plugs. All data is easily accessible via the PonixOS app, which is available for both iOS and Android.

NIDO: an advanced, all-in-one system designed to monitor and manage hydroponic and indoor plant environments. It continuously tracks key parameters such as pH, EC, temperature, humidity, and water levels, ensuring your plants receive optimal conditions for growth.

Dosing Bottles: specialized containers designed to hold and dispense nutrients or additives into your hydroponic system. These bottles work in conjunction with the NIDO system to automate the precise delivery of fertilizers, pH adjusters, or other growth solutions to maintain optimal conditions for plant health.

`The NIDO system automates nutrient flow from dosing bottles, reducing manual input and ensuring consistent nutrient levels for healthier plant growth. Setup and monitoring are available via PonixOS, giving growers full control over their nutrient management

Output: the tubing or connection used to deliver water, nutrients, or other solutions into the hydroponic system. This line typically carries the nutrient solution from the dosing bottles or reservoir to the plants, ensuring they receive the right mix of water and nutrients. The output line is crucial for maintaining proper irrigation and nutrient distribution throughout the system.

The NIDO system automates output lines using PonixOS to regulate solution flow, ensuring precise plant feeding. Output lines with sensors provide real-time monitoring of water levels, flow rate, and nutrient concentration for optimal plant care.

Water Reservoir Sensor: a device used to monitor key parameters of the water in the reservoir, ensuring optimal conditions for plant growth. Common types of sensors include:

• Water Level Sensor: Measures the amount of water in the reservoir to prevent it from running dry or overflowing.

• Water Temperature Sensor: Tracks the water temperature to help you ensure it stays within the ideal range for nutrient uptake.

Humidity/Temp Sensor: measures the air's relative humidity and temperature in your grow environment. It is commonly used in hydroponics, greenhouses, and other controlled growing spaces to maintain optimal conditions for plant growth.

• Humidity Measurement: The probe detects the percentage of water vapor in the air (relative humidity), which affects how plants transpire and absorb water.

• Temperature Measurement: The probe monitors the air temperature, which influences plant metabolism and how much water the air can hold.

By providing real-time data, a humidity and temperature probe helps growers maintain precise environmental control, ensuring that conditions stay within the ideal range for healthy plant development and efficient water and nutrient use.

pH Probe: measures the acidity or alkalinity of the nutrient solution, ensuring it stays within the optimal range (usually 5.5 to 6.5) for proper nutrient uptake. It helps maintain the ideal pH level, preventing nutrient lockout and supporting healthy plant growth.

• pH Storage Bottle: essential when the NIDO is not in use. If the pH probe is not stored correctly—ideally in a cap filled with potassium chloride (KCl) solution, a pH4 buffer, or as a last resort, tap water—it can dry out. This can lead to damage, reduced accuracy, or even permanent failure of the probe. Proper storage ensures the probe remains hydrated and functional.

EC (Electrical Conductivity) Probe: measures the concentration of dissolved nutrients in a hydroponic solution, helping to ensure that plants receive the right nutrient levels for healthy growth.

NIDO Smart Plug: a Wi-Fi-enabled device that allows growers to control electrical equipment, such as lights or water pumps, remotely. It enables automation and scheduling, ensuring consistent operation of the hydroponic system through your phone.
