About the Smart Grow Controller
No clouds or external servers
The Smart Grow Controller ONE lets you decide between connection to a local wired or wireless hotspot and connection to your local network, giving worldwide access by https or VPN.

The SGC can make everything you want, there is no one function you have to renounce to! It is a self dependent computer based controller which does not require Internet or any cloud server, it runs fully autonome at home and all the datas are your datas and not the ones from some cloud where the Goverment is watching you!
The SGC can be setup as a hotspot wired LAN or W-LAN depending how paranoid you are, if you understand the network their security you can connect it to your home-LAN or open a port and have an access to it from any place in the world where you have Internet, by VPN or https://.
