Sensing and Control Starter Kit
"The two Vegehub units I am using at my personal vegetable growing areas have not skipped a beat in two years. My highest respect to you for supplying a bulletproof product that is reliable and reasonably priced. As a bonus, I began tracking water usage via input volumes with Vegehub versus a digital timer schedule and I am saving 60% in nutrients and water."

"So far I'm very impressed by Vegetronix products. I work in IoT professionally but don't have the time to put together my own microcontroller-based solution. You've solved all the critical IoT issues (TLS, low-energy, find out local IP address, send to cloud, etc) not to mention your magic soil moisture sensor. Everything I've tried so far (VegeHub and Air temp sensor) is simple and easy to use and worked on the first try. Well done."

Sensing and Control Starter Kit - Details
Our products are modular building blocks. You can put them together in different ways, and create different systems for vastly different applications. After setting up your first project, you'll have lots ideas of how you can use our products to automate your garden and your life.
We've curated this starter kit, to give you everything you need to get started controlling sprinkler valves, wirelessly and with sensor input.
You can even get alerts when sensors have crossed a threshold, such as when the soil moisture has crossed the wilting point.
You'll probably come up with applications we haven't even though about. Drop us a email if you do, and we'll post them on our site.

Home Assistant Compatible
The VegeHub family is fully
compatible with Home Assistant, an open‑source home
automation platform renowned for local control, privacy, and ecosystem flexibility. With
seamless integration via the official Vegetronix VegeHub Home Assistant
add‑on, users can bring real‑time readings from soil moisture,
temperature, light, and other sensors directly into their smart home dashboards.
Beyond monitoring, Home Assistant can also trigger actuators—from pumps and valves to relays
and lights—using VegeHub sensor data, enabling intelligent irrigation, alarm alerts,
automated lighting, and more.
How the System Works
This kit will allow you to perfectly control 4 sprinkler valves and have them shut off when they reach the desired soil moisture level, saving water and money.
In each of your 4 sprinkler zones will have place a soil moisture sensor. These sensors are read by the VegeHub, which passes the moisture data up to our cloud server at VegeCloud.com, where you can configure your desired moisture levels.
You you set up run schedules for the sprinkler controller. However, unlike traditional controllers, when a valve is ready to run, it first checks-in with VegeCloud.com to check the moisture level of it's zone. If the ground is already at the desired moisture, it will skip the zone, and move on to the next. Likewise, as it's running the valve, it will continually check with VegeCloud, to see if the moisture has reached the correct level.
Designed for Long Battery Life
One of our primary design goals for our products is long battery life. You can place our VegeHub and Sprinkler Controller anywhere without worrying about power connection connections. Under normal use scenarios batteries will last over a year.
Fast and Easy Setup
You can configure the VegeHub and add it to your local WiFi network by using a browser on your phone or PC, by connecting to it as a WiFi Hotspot.
The hubs configuration pages allow you to select how often and where you want to send the data.
Rugged and Waterproof for Long Life in Harsh Conditions
You can put this box outside in the rain or snow. The rugged PET plastic box has silicone rubber gaskets making it waterproof. All of the cable entry points use cable glands, so that no water or insects can get in.
The box has screw holes for easy mounting, so that you can put it anywhere. Or you can mount it to a 3/4" PVC pipe with our brackets.
Internally Stores Data When Internet is Down
If your Internet goes down - no problem. The Vegehub has an internal 64 sample storage for each sensor channel, or writes to an optional SD card for unlimited data storage, that can be access later using your phone.
