In active development — built in public

Know Your Fields. From Anywhere.

Eden is a farm automation system in the making: long-range LoRa sensors (400+ meters field-tested), a local-first hub, no subscriptions. Your data stays on your farm.

Local-First
No Subscriptions
Built with Rust

WiFi Dies at the Barn Door. Your Crops Shouldn't.

Traditional smart farming solutions rely on WiFi or cellular, leaving gaps in coverage exactly where you need monitoring most. Eden uses long-range radio technology that works up to 1/4 mile away, even through trees and buildings.

Limited Range

WiFi barely reaches your back porch. Forget about the far field or greenhouse.

Monthly Fees

Most systems lock you into $20-50/month subscriptions. Your data becomes hostage.

Cloud Dependent

When their servers go down, your farm automation stops. You lose control.

Up and Running in 5 Minutes

No wiring. No electrician. No IT degree required.

1

Plant Sensors in 5 Minutes

Push sensors into soil. No wiring, no configuration. They automatically connect to your hub.

2

Hub Collects Data From 1/4 Mile

The central hub receives data from all sensors. Works through walls, trees, and outbuildings.

3

Get Alerts When Soil Needs Water

View data on your phone or computer. Get notified before plants stress, not after.

Built for Every Grower

From backyard tomatoes to commercial operations, Eden scales with you.

Backyard Gardener

Your Garden Survives Vacation

Know exactly when to water without being there. Get peace of mind when you travel, knowing your tomatoes are thriving.

  • Alerts when soil gets too dry
  • Frost warnings overnight
  • No monthly fees, ever
Most Popular
Small Farm (1-10 acres)

Save 10 Hours/Week on Field Checks

Stop driving to check soil moisture. Monitor every zone from your phone. Automate irrigation based on actual conditions.

  • Zone-by-zone monitoring
  • Smart valve control
  • Historical data for crop planning
Commercial Operation

ROI in One Growing Season

Reduce water usage by 30-40%. Catch equipment failures early. Integrate with your existing farm management software.

  • Multi-site deployment
  • API for custom integrations
  • Priority support

Technology That Just Works

No jargon. No complexity. Just reliable farm monitoring that you own.

Works 1/4 Mile Away

Long-range radio (LoRa) reaches 400+ meters in real-world suburban conditions — measured in field testing, not a spec-sheet number.

Technical: LoRa 915MHz with adaptive data rate

All Data Stays on Your Farm

Your hub stores everything locally. No internet required for basic operation. Cloud is optional for remote access.

Technical: SQLite database on Raspberry Pi

Free Software, No Subscriptions

Open-source licensed. Inspect every line of code. Modify it for your needs. Never worry about a company shutting down.

Technical: MIT OR Apache-2.0 licensed, built with Rust

Remote Valve & Pump Control

Turn valves, pumps, and lights on and off from the dashboard. Rule-based automation ("water when moisture drops below 30%") is next on the roadmap.

Technical: GPIO relay control from the hub dashboard

Mesh Relaying (Planned)

The goal: sensors that relay each other's data back to the hub. The wire protocol is mesh-ready; routing is not built yet.

Technical: single-hop LoRa today; TTL-based relaying planned

Low-Power Sensors (Planned)

The design target is months on standard batteries with optional solar. Current prototypes are mains/USB powered; battery management is not built yet.

Technical: target is deep-sleep duty cycling on battery power

Why Trust Eden?

We're building in public: honest status, open-source licensing, and no dark patterns.

Open Source

MIT OR Apache-2.0 licensed. The code will be published as the project matures.

Built with Rust

Memory-safe, reliable code following NASA coding standards.

Free Forever (Local)

All core features work without internet. Cloud is optional.

No Lock-In

Standard hardware, open protocols, your data in a local SQLite file you can copy anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Eden?

Eden is a farm automation system in active development. Long-range wireless sensors report to a local hub (a Raspberry Pi) that stores everything on-site and serves a web dashboard. The software will be free for local use — no subscriptions.

Does Eden work without internet?

Yes, Eden is offline-first. All sensor data is stored locally on your hub and the dashboard works on your local network. Internet is only needed if you want remote access via the optional cloud service.

What is Eden's wireless range?

Eden uses LoRa radio. Field testing measured 400+ meters (1/4 mile) in real-world suburban conditions with trees and buildings; open-field range should be considerably longer but has not been measured yet.

How much does Eden cost?

There is nothing to buy yet — Eden is still being built. The software is free and will stay free for local use. If hardware kits ever happen, early-access subscribers will hear about it first.

What sensors does Eden support?

Today: temperature/humidity (DHT22) sensors and GPIO relay control for valves, pumps, and lights. Soil moisture, pH, water level, and more are on the roadmap as the first hydroponic build comes together.

Is Eden really open source?

The code is licensed under MIT OR Apache-2.0. It is developed in a personal repository today and will be published as it matures — joining early access is the best way to hear when that happens.
