The Ostara Advantage
By adding automation and optimisation, we’ve created a powerful all-in-one platform that gives you total oversight and control of your farm all of the time.
1 Monitor
See exactly what’s happening across your farm in real time. Ostara tracks environmental conditions inside and outside your tunnels and presents the data in a clear, simple dashboard, giving you instant visibility and historical insight at a glance.
2 Control
Manage your farm from anywhere. Remotely adjust ventilation, irrigation, lighting, and climate systems through one platform, reducing labour demands and enabling faster, more precise responses to changing conditions.
3 Automate
Let your farm respond automatically. Set intelligent rules so vents, watering, and climate controls adjust in real time, protecting crops and maintaining optimal conditions 24/7 without manual intervention.
4 Improve
Unlock higher performance from your infrastructure. Ostara turns operational data into actionable insights that increase Class 1 yield, improve efficiency, and strengthen profitability over time.
Informed by your growing environment, the system allows you to continuously optimise performance.Keeping the optimum growing conditions over the longest possible time lets you extract maximum value from your farm. That means not only better yields and reduced labour dependency, but also a more relaxed and assured growing experience.
Benefits
Total oversight of your site from one platform - allows the farmers impact across the whole farm at all times.

3 How it works
Ostara uses a hub and spoke model. Think of the hub as the control computer at the centre, and the electrical panels and sensors as the spokes.
Control computer
The main control computer is the brains of Ostara. It makes decisions based on the data received from sensors.
Electrical panels
The electrical panels are the interface to your hardware. Custom-built to match your specific site requirements, they come with manual override switches – so no matter what happens, you’ll always have control of your farm.
User interface
Ostara uses a modern web UI that’s modular and fully customisable, providing you with the exact information you need to smoothly run your operation – no matter the size.
Designed to work both offline or online, you can connect to the cloud whenever internet is available.
Create additional users, as well as being able to login from any browser anywhere in the world. Quick access, and get notified if something happens via the mobile App.
FAQs
What does Ostara actually do?
Ostara is an all-in-one smart farming platform that helps growers monitor, control, automate, and continuously improve their operations. It turns complex tunnel data into clear actions, giving you full visibility and real-time control of your farm.
What hardware can Ostara monitor and control?
Traditional systems stop at monitoring and control. Ostara goes further by adding automation and optimisation, allowing your farm to automatically respond to changing conditions and continuously improve performance over time.
What hardware can Ostara control?
Ostara integrates with environmental systems such as vents, heating, cooling, fans, and CO₂ dosing. It also manages lighting (including LED systems and shading screens) and irrigation and fertigation systems, including pH and EC dosing.
How does the system work on my farm?
Ostara uses a central control computer connected to sensors and custom-built electrical panels. These gather data, make decisions, and control hardware automatically, while still allowing manual override at any time.
Can Ostara work with my existing setup?
Yes. Ostara is designed to sit on top of your existing infrastructure and is custom-built to match your site. The system is fully scalable, allowing you to expand as your operation grows.
What are the main benefits of implementing Ostara?
Ostara reduces labour costs, improves efficiency, protects crops from weather changes, and helps increase Class 1 yields. With full remote access and total oversight, you can manage your farm confidently from anywhere.
