How Terragrix works

Terragrix turns Ecowitt soil and weather signals into clear daily instructions—water, skip, or watch. Under the hood, SignalSense detection, the Container Learning Loop, and StressGuard form a professional-grade AI backbone that keeps guidance steady as conditions change. Here’s the full, no-shortcuts flow and why it keeps container plants thriving without guesswork.

1) Connect signals fast

Plug in once, then let Terragrix handle the data.

  • Pair Ecowitt soil moisture probes with a GW1100/HP2551 hub; add your Ecowitt weather station or local forecast.
  • Map each probe to a container with plant type, pot size, sun exposure, and location so microclimates are understood.
  • No sensors yet? Start with manual watering logs—models backfill as soon as probes go live.

2) SignalSense detects real watering

More than a graph—Terragrix knows what actually happened.

  • Dual-phase detection separates true watering from rain or noise.
  • Moisture rises are logged automatically with timestamps, estimated impact, and which containers were hit.
  • Stability checks wait for readings to settle so guidance never whiplashes after a soak.

3) Container Learning Loop adapts

Every planter gets its own brain that keeps improving.

  • Learns dry-down speed by season, exposure, plant type, and soil mix.
  • Weather and wind adjust urgency so rooftop planters get attention before shaded patios.
  • Integrity guardrails catch stale or stuck data before it becomes bad advice.

4) Daylist delivers “do this now” guidance

You get action, not dashboards.

  • A two-minute Daylist prioritizes water/skip/watch with plain-language reasons.
  • Sensors auto-complete watering tasks when moisture rises; helpers can tap to confirm manual actions.
  • StressGuard alerts arrive before wilt or drop, with quiet hours to prevent alert fatigue.

5) Prove and refine with ProofLog

Show the work, keep improving, and stay calm.

  • History shows before/after watering curves and how long each pot stayed healthy.
  • Export logs for clients, chefs, or teammates and share lightweight views for seasonal helpers.
  • Adjust thresholds when you change soil, shade, or irrigation—Terragrix adapts without starting over.

What’s supported today (and what’s next)

  • Ecowitt soil moisture probes (recommended) with GW1100/HP2551 hubs.
  • Ecowitt weather stations for onsite wind, rain, and temperature.
  • Manual watering logs for hybrid setups while you scale sensors.
  • Additional sensor brands are on the roadmap; Ecowitt is our first, proven bet.

Why growers feel the difference

  • Built for containers, not fields—fast reactions to small soil volumes and microclimates.
  • SignalSense smoothing and guardrails keep guidance stable, even with noisy signals.
  • Clear, persuasive language—no dashboards required to stay on top of care.
