Sensors
A DS18B20 measures compost temperature while a VH400 reports raw moisture voltage.
Living systems, made legible
Compost intelligencefrom the inside out.
Biome turns temperature and raw moisture signals from inside a compost pile into a live operating record. That field data is the foundation for future irrigation and aeration automation.

The telemetry path
One reading.Five clear steps.
Follow a sensor reading from inside the pile, through the field node, and into the live dashboard.
ESP32
The ESP32-S3 samples both sensors and packages the reading with device and connection data.
Wi-Fi
The field node uploads a new reading roughly every 30 seconds.
Supabase
Supabase stores timestamped biome-01 readings for history and analysis.
Dashboard
The dashboard turns the latest record and its history into a live pile view.

Product direction
Observe first.Then act with intent.
Biome starts with reliable field telemetry. Automation comes later, after moisture is calibrated, operating thresholds are configured, and the pile's behavior is understood.
01Live now
Continuous sensing
Live temperature, raw VH400 output, and Wi-Fi signal from the biome-01 field node.
02Future phase
Closed-loop irrigation
Calibrated moisture thresholds could eventually guide measured water delivery.
03Future phase
Automated aeration
Temperature trends could eventually inform controlled airflow through the pile.
04Planned
Alerts + insight
Field events, configurable thresholds, and a longer-term operating record.
