Most control boxes stop at showing you a reading. Lichen goes further — it watches every zone around the clock and acts the moment conditions drift, without waiting for someone to notice.
Hardware controllers can hold a setpoint. They can't tell you why yesterday's crop reacted differently, or hand control to your phone at 6am. Lichen is built to do both.
Every sensor, every zone, one dashboard — temperature, humidity, CO₂, soil moisture, EC, pH, water level and light, live and historical.
Reach any actuator across any site from a single app — open a vent, start a fertigation cycle, or dim a light bank without walking to a panel.
Set the targets once. Basic, Advanced Temp, or Smart Climate modes decide when to act — factoring in VPD and humidity, not just a single number.
Compare zones and seasons side by side, spot what drove your best harvest, and feed it straight back into next season's targets.
Instead of separate boxes for environment, irrigation and lighting that don't share data, Lichen brings all three under one roof.
Automatic vent control that reacts to real conditions, not a clock.
Trigger straight from live sensor readings across every bed.
DLI tracking keeps supplemental lighting working with the sun, not against it.
New sensors and leaf-nodes appear automatically the moment they're connected — no pairing wizard.
Every device gets its own unique, revocable credentials — never a shared password.
Runs on your own hardware, not a third-party cloud — automation keeps working even if the internet doesn't.
Add Lichen to your home screen; the app shell still opens when you're offline.
Live online/offline status with a full uptime history per leaf-node, so nothing fails silently.
Export and restore your entire farm setup in a click — configuration you never have to rebuild from memory.
Lichen is designed to control the vents, pumps and lighting hardware you already have — it adds sensing, automation and remote access on top of your existing structures rather than requiring a rebuild.
Multi-farm management is built in — run unlimited growing spaces from a single account, each with its own sensors, crops and control settings.
Air temperature and humidity, soil moisture, temperature, EC and pH, water level, and PAR — added to the network as your growing space grows.
Yes. The hub runs on your local network and keeps executing your automation rules locally — you're not dependent on an external cloud service to keep your crop safe.
Every device is issued its own unique, revocable credentials rather than sharing a single password, and node uptime is tracked so a dropped connection is visible immediately.
Yes — one-click backup and restore covers your entire farm setup, and your data lives on your own hardware from day one.
