Garbage
Connectivity, not great. No refresh option on the app. Takes forever to start live updating if power is interrupted. It’s sad really because it has so much potential but for the amount of money that the grow hub costs it’s not performing.
Good support
Once you get the system set up it works great. Tech support helped a bit to get things squared away. They responded to emails rather quickly and are helpful. Don’t let the set up scare you away from this product it’s worth the effort
Niwa device
This is pretty cool technology and vital part of any automated gardening system. The three things I like most about the NIWA are: mobile app functionality, 24-7 Wi-Fi accessibility, and the programmability (can generate and edit recipes on the fly). My one critique: I wish it could manage more power across the outlets.
I am seeing that the next edition will have be able to support more power across the outlets. I have also read about newer monitor addition that will be capable of monitoring CO2 ppm in addition to its current functionality (VPD, temp, humidity, and dew point). Once this Niwa can handle more power. I think it could be a must have device for automated grow set-up. Would love to test and review more of your products. Good work!

Great product. Killer support. App updates
what more could you ask for? i’ll admit it was kinda tricky to set up the first time but i contacted support and they were able to take care of and get the controller up and running remotely while i was at work.
also i ended up blowing up my first one by disregarding the instructions and putting an old dehumidifier that was over amped on it, and they replaced it for free even though it was totally my own fault. if you are on the fence about this product you should just pull the trigger cause it was one of the best purchases i’ve made for my grow especially since they keep updating the app and adding features!

Best investment for serious growers
If you are a serious grower (one who controls humidity, temp, balances nutrients with controlled amounts and concentrations, etc.), this little jewel is the perfect fit. If you’re a serious grower, you’d know what VPD is. And if you do know what VPD is, then you know what a pain controlling it is with temp and humidity. I’m considering buying a second one. Figuring in the time and brain fatigue the NIWA saves me, its return on investment is very short.....Read up on it. Make an informed decision.
