## 1. Overview

The Omni Genesis is an industrial, multi-protocol data acquisition and control unit for field deployment in agriculture, aquaculture, and environmental monitoring. It provides four modular sensor ports, each configurable from the cloud across I²C, Analog, Digital, 1-Wire, RS485 (Modbus-RTU), and SDI-12. One controller connects soil, water, and climate sensors of any type, with no additional circuitry and no firmware changes.

Genesis runs on dual rechargeable 18650 Li-ion batteries with built-in solar charging and a deep-sleep power cycle that keeps consumption under 30 µA between readings, so it operates for months fully off-grid. It connects to OmniCloud over 4G-LTE cellular by default, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in. The IP65-rated enclosure and corrosion-resistant connectors are designed for open fields, ponds, greenhouses, and cold rooms.

### Key Features

### Applications

- Aquaculture and mariculture water quality monitoring (pH, EC, DO, ORP, temperature, ammonia)
- Soil moisture, irrigation, and climate monitoring
- Environmental logging of air, water, and soil parameters
- Greenhouse, hydroponic, and precision farming systems

## 3. Sensor Ports

Each of the four ports is a keyed connector carrying power and two data lines. The data lines take on the signals of the protocol assigned to the port, so the same physical port reads an RS485 probe, an I²C sensor, an analog tensiometer, or a 1-Wire temperature string depending on its cloud 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 share a single bus, each at its own Modbus address, so one controller reads a full set of water quality probes.

### Changing What a Port Reads

Port configuration lives in OmniCloud. Swap a tensiometer for a pH probe, change a port from analog to RS485, or adjust sampling intervals from the dashboard. No rewiring, no firmware update, no site visit.

## 4. Connectivity

| Interface | Role |
|:----------|:-----|
| **4G-LTE Cellular** | Primary field connectivity. The controller connects on its own wherever there is cellular coverage; a global roaming SIM is included with the OmniCloud subscription. |
| **Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz** | Connectivity for sites with local network coverage. |
| **Bluetooth 5.0** | Local access. |
| **Modular Slot** | The communication slot is LoRa/LoRaWAN and GPS capable for project-specific configurations. |

Genesis can operate as a gateway, repeater, or end node in distributed deployments.

## 5. Power System

Genesis is designed for unattended, off-grid operation:

- **Batteries:** Dual rechargeable 18650 Li-ion cells power the controller through day and night cycles.
- **Solar charging:** Any 6-32 V DC solar panel connects directly; the controller manages charging internally. The same input accepts fixed DC power where available.
- **Deep-sleep cycle:** The controller wakes on schedule, powers the sensors, takes readings, transmits, and returns to sleep. Sleep current is under 30 µA.
- **Managed sensor power:** Each port is powered only while it is being read, at the voltage its sensor requires.

There are no batteries to replace and no power cables to run.

## 6. OmniCloud Integration

Every Genesis controller is managed through OmniCloud:

| Capability | Description |
|:-----------|:------------|
| **Live Dashboards** | Real-time and historical data from every sensor, on web and mobile |
| **Alerts** | Instant notifications by WhatsApp or email when a reading crosses a threshold |
| **Remote Configuration** | Port protocols, sampling intervals, 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 |

## 7. Installation Notes

**Placement**

- Mount vertically with connectors facing down
- Face the solar panel toward the sun, clear of shading
- Confirm cellular coverage at the mounting point
- Keep unused port connectors capped

**Maintenance**

- No scheduled battery replacement
- Keep connectors clean and dry when swapping sensors
- Firmware stays current automatically over the air
- Check panel surface seasonally for dust buildup
