# AGRINOVO-OMNI-GENESIS-LITE: Compact 1-Port Multi-Protocol IoT Controller

Agrinovo technical datasheet, revision 1.2 (October 2026).
PDF version: https://agrinovo.io/datasheets/controllers/AGRINOVO-OMNI-GENESIS-LITE_Datasheet.pdf

## 1. Overview

The Omni Genesis Lite is the compact member of the Genesis platform, built for distributed sensing where each measurement point needs its own node. It provides a single modular sensor port supporting I²C, Analog, Digital, 1-Wire, RS485 (Modbus-RTU), and SDI-12, with the same cloud-configured interface as the full-size Genesis. One quarter the size of the standard Genesis, it installs where a larger controller does not fit.

Genesis Lite runs on a single rechargeable 16340 Li-ion battery (950 mAh) with optional solar charging and the same deep-sleep power management as the Genesis platform, for long-term autonomous operation. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are built in, with 4G-LTE cellular available for remote sites. The IP65-rated housing and industrial connectors are made for outdoor and remote installations.

### Key Features

### Applications

- Distributed field sensor nodes across large farms and environmental stations

## 3. Sensor Port

The port is a keyed connector carrying power and two data lines. The data lines take on the signals of the protocol assigned in OmniCloud, so the same port reads an RS485 probe, an I²C sensor, an analog input, or a 1-Wire temperature sensor depending on its configuration.

### Port Pinout

| Pin | Function | Description |
|:----|:---------|:------------|
| **V+** | Power | Sensor power (switched 5 V or 12 V) |
| **GND** | Ground | Power ground |
| **D1** | Data | Protocol signal (RS485-A, SDA, analog in) |
| **D2** | Data | Protocol signal (RS485-B, SCL) |

### RS485 Probes

Agrinovo digital probes communicate over RS485 Modbus-RTU at 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. Multiple RS485 probes can share the bus, each at its own Modbus address.

### Changing What the Port Reads

Port configuration lives in OmniCloud. Switch the port from analog to RS485, swap sensor types, or adjust sampling intervals from the dashboard. No rewiring, no firmware update, no site visit.

## 4. Connectivity

| Interface | Role |
|:----------|:-----|
| **Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz** | Built-in connectivity for sites with local network coverage. |
| **Bluetooth 5.0** | Local access. |
| **4G-LTE Cellular** | Available for remote sites; the controller connects wherever there is cellular coverage. |
| **Modular Slot** | The communication slot is LoRa/LoRaWAN and GPS capable for project-specific configurations. |

Genesis Lite operates as a node in distributed deployments, alongside full-size Genesis controllers on the same OmniCloud account.

## 5. Power System

Genesis Lite is designed for autonomous single-point operation:

- **Battery:** A single rechargeable 16340 Li-ion cell (950 mAh) powers the node.
- **Optional solar charging:** Any 6-32 V DC solar panel connects directly; the same input accepts fixed DC power where available.
- **Deep-sleep cycle:** The controller wakes on schedule, powers the sensor, takes a reading, transmits, and returns to sleep.
- **Managed sensor power:** The port is powered only while it is being read, at the voltage its sensor requires.

## 6. OmniCloud Integration

Every Genesis Lite is managed through OmniCloud:

| Capability | Description |
|:-----------|:------------|
| **Live Dashboards** | Real-time and historical data from every node, on web and mobile |
| **Alerts** | Instant notifications by WhatsApp or email when a reading crosses a threshold |
| **Remote Configuration** | Port protocol, sampling interval, and calibration values set from the dashboard |
| **OTA Updates** | Firmware improvements pushed over the air while the device is deployed |
| **Data Export** | Historical readings available for analysis and reporting |

Data from Genesis Lite nodes sits in the same dashboards, maps, and history as data from full-size Genesis controllers.

## 7. Installation Notes

**Placement**

- Mount vertically with the connector facing down
- Place the node at the measurement point, not a junction box
- Confirm network coverage at the mounting point
- Keep the port connector capped when no sensor is fitted

**Maintenance**

- Recharge or swap the 16340 cell as part of routine site rounds when running without solar
- Keep the connector clean and dry when swapping sensors
- Firmware stays current automatically over the air
