Easily Automate & Monitor Farms with Tibbo’s Latest Solutions
Since you last heard from Tibbo in March, they have a lot of new updates to share with you, from both OSS (Outdoor Sensor System), and AppBlocks. Together, these updates make building out automated farming solutions easier than ever.
OSS’ Supported External Sensors are Growing
As more external sensors are configured to work with OSS, the platform becomes increasingly more flexible and suitable for farming applications.
In addition to the temperature, humidity, and CO2 sensors provided with sensor pods, Modbus sensors monitoring light, leaks, opto-isolated digital input, soil moisture/nutrients, H2S, UV, noise, rain/snow, and PM2.5 are now supported.
See the Full List of Supported External Sensors
Wi-Fi with Cellular Backup for OSS
OSS now supports a new connectivity mode: Wi-Fi with Cellular Backup.
Wi-Fi with Cellular Backup mode enables automatic fallback to cellular when Wi-Fi communication fails. This is particularly useful for mission-critical farming applications, such as oxygen monitoring in fish farming, or light and temperature monitoring for indoor farms where 100% up-time is needed. While in this mode, sensor sampling and remote firmware upgrades operate as usual.

OSS Companion, Now Available on Android
In addition to the iOS App Store, the OSS Companion app is now available on the Google Play Store, and supports Android devices with Android 6 and above.
AppBlocks and TPS, Now Even Easier to Configure
Just getting started with AppBlocks and TPS? Dive into our “Solution” pages to discover how easy it is to bring your projects to life. For farming specifically, our Indoor Farming and Outdoor Farming pages are a great starting point.
Each “Solution” page links to a series of “Capability” pages demonstrating how to achieve core functionality with TPS and AppBlocks, for example:
- Temperature Monitoring and Control
- Soil Monitoring
- Watering Control
- Nutrient Supply Control
- CO2 Monitoring and Control
- and many, many more…
With these new mini-guides, any possible confusion is eliminated by:
- Comparing different ways to achieve each functionality
- Showing you how to connect sensors to Tibbits wire-by-wire
- Offering a sample AppBlocks project with key logic already configured
