How it Works

Pinnacle Systems' platform provides a subscription-free, sensor-agnostic solution for any of your grow needs.

Just grab any of our standardized kits with our visionary server and start building. Our sensor-agnostic solution allows you to build to your needs and specifications.

The Pinnacle Brain

The Pinnacle Brain runs the Pinnacle database & software, that when combined with a Pinnacle Sensor Node and/or Pinnacle Control Nodes, enables and manages data logging, equipment control and automation.

Pinnacle Sensor Nodes

The Pinnacle Sensor Node is a wireless hub (2.4ghz only) that supports up to (10) SDI-12 sensors. The firmware is constantly updated to support new sensors, provide updated and new calibrations for existing sensors, and add custom calculated sensors.

CO₂ Sensor Node with built in 4-Relay board

This node can independently operate 8 dry-contact relays, each rated for 10A at 120VAC or 10A at 30VDC. This device can be used as-is for HVAC systems (cooling, heating & reheat), or can be paired with a 24V AC to DC transformer to supply 24V to power irrigation solenoids, steam humidifiers, etc…

Supported Sensors

0-12v 4-Channel PWM Lighting Controller

The 0-12v Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) lighting controller can operate lights that run on 0-10v and lights that run on 0-12v. It has 4 separate channels built in with the ability to independently control up to 50-75 lights per channel. You can schedule each channel’s intensity and on & off times through the Pinnacle Control Dashboard, or through direct HTTP requests to the node. 

8-Relay Dry Contact Node

This node can independently operate 8 dry-contact relays, each rated for 10A at 120VAC or 10A at 30VDC. This device can be used as-is for HVAC systems (cooling, heating & reheat), or can be paired with a 24V AC to DC transformer to supply 24V to power irrigation solenoids, steam humidifiers, etc…

CloudFree Tasmota 110v SmartPlug

This smart plug runs Tasmota firmware, which removes it from the cloud and makes it operate on the local network. This enables you to set schedules and do on demand requests to trigger the smart switch off & on. This is suitable for controlling devices under 15a that only turn off and on; such as small dehumidifiers, humidifiers, pumps, fans, etc.
