Overview
#theMinder is a small device designed to help you track and manage your environment remotely from anywhere in the world. #theMinder connects to the cloud based user interface to monitor and log environmental data and can be set up to alert you if parameters are exceeded. The standard #theMinder unit will monitor ambient air temperature and relative humidity as well as calculating VPD values. Also included is a second waterproof temperature probe that can be used in growing media to monitor root zone temperature, placed in feeding solution tanks to monitor solution temperature, or used to monitor air temperature in another part of the growing environment. Other versions of #theMinder will be available shortly enabling the user to monitor other environmental parameters such as carbon dioxide levels, moisture sensors and many more. All existing and future versions can be added to your user account as the need arises and will be compatible with #theController upon its official release.
The cleverly designed user interface can be accessed from any device that has internet connectivity from any location in the world. From here you can see all your connected #theMinder units for each environment being monitored. Access all your data and display it on dynamic graphs that gives you real insight into how your environment behaves over time. You can also export your data for offline analysis and report creation. All of the functions of each #theMinder units can be accessed and setup to suit your needs via the interface including renaming, high/low setpoints, area assignment, alert parameters and display configurations.
With #theMinder you can have peace of mind about your environment no matter where you are, no longer do you have to worry and stress if everything is ok when you are not there.
Once you harvest your crop, #theMinder can be used to monitor the equally important drying and curing stages and the final storage of the crop.
#theMinder is not just for grow environments. The technology can be applied to a whole host of areas where environmental data needs to be monitored and collected such as air quality monitoring, animal husbandry, domestic environments, commercial environments and industrial processes.

Security
We take security very seriously and have designed the system from the ground up to be as secure as we feel is required and still maintain the right level of ease of use.
At a high level and so as not to give anything away, here are some of the steps we have taken to ensure the security of our devices and our clients:
- Distributed architecture Different servers at different locations ensures the right level of robustness, our processes are spread across our server base.
- Outbound communication Our devices talk out to our servers and initiate the connection we do not talk directly to your device it talks to us. This eliminates the need for us know where devices are located and means you do not need to allow inbound traffic to your network.
- Minimal data we only collect the essential data required for controlling your environment, temperature, humidity and moisture levels. If YOU want us to gather more data for you then we will work with you to enable that.
- No personal data is sent or gathered by our devices,we DO NOT record or gather IP address information.
How to Use
WiFi Network requirements
theMinder unit is an Internet of Things (IoT) device and as such requires an always on internet enabled WiFi network to operate. A mobile hotspot access point or mobile phone running as an access point works great if no broadband router WiFi is available.
