Calyx Automatización app para Android
Calyx tracks indoor garden environments, plant schedules, and hardware. Commercial alternatives lock features behind cloud subscriptions and isolate data from local smart devices. Calyx stores its 30,000-strain database entirely offline and integrates directly with Home Assistant to control grow room sockets without a monthly fee.
Environment and hardware control
The application queries the Home Assistant REST API to display temperature, relative humidity, and Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD). Users toggle smart sockets directly from the application interface. Calyx also monitors for light bleed during scheduled dark periods and pushes an alert if it detects illumination.
Plant and tent management
Users define physical grow tents and assign plants to them. The application references an offline database of 30,000 strains. When a user logs a plant, an automatic calculator uses the strain genetics to determine the optimal harvest window. Growers capture and view chronological photos in a full-screen gallery overlay, which renders the days since germination and current growth phase on the image.
Feeding and scheduling
The application provides a nutrient solution recipe database to store feeding mixtures. Users assign custom quick actions, such as pruning or nutrient application, to individual plants. Tapping a nutrient action automatically attaches a specific recipe and liquid volume to the plant's history. A soil moisture reading below 30% places a watering indicator on the calendar.
Self-hosted Backend
While Calyx works entirely offline, power users can optionally deploy the included self-hosted backend using Docker. Connecting the application to your own backend enables advanced multi-device synchronization and external database storage, guaranteeing that you remain in complete control of your data.
