Growlink Agrowtek Integration Hub - Same Cables, New Brain
The hub is a drop-in replacement for an Agrowtek GCX controller. It runs on a 24VDC / 2.7A supply and ties into your local network over Ethernet or optional 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Sensor, device, and line ports keep their original pinout, so existing cables plug back in where they always lived. Migration happens at the brain, not at the wiring chase.
Mixed Agrowtek and LINKS Hardware on One Growlink Dashboard
Once the hub is online, Agrowtek GrowControl GCX modules and Growlink LINKS devices in the same room report into one unified dashboard. Cloud data storage, advanced analytics, and the CoPilot automation engine become available to hardware that previously lived in the Agrowtek ecosystem. Add hubs as the facility grows. One hub bridges a single room, additional hubs scale across multi-room operations without a hardware swap.
Key Features
- Drop-In Cable Compatibility: Sensor, device, and line ports keep the Agrowtek pinout, so existing wiring plugs back in without re-running cable.
- 24VDC / 2.7A Low-Voltage Power: A single low-voltage feed runs the hub from the same chase as the network cable.
- Ethernet with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Backup: Wired Ethernet handles primary connectivity; Wi-Fi covers rooms where pulling CAT5 is impractical.
- GCX Migration to Growlink Portal: Registers existing Agrowtek GCX modules into the Growlink Portal with per-module exclude controls during setup.
- CoPilot Automation Across Vendors: Once online, GCX modules and LINKS devices share one dashboard, one automation engine, and one cloud database.
