Pomona

Open edge AI for safer greenhouse and hydroponic decisions.

Connect simulated or real sensor data to a local pipeline with MQTT, compact reasoners, deterministic safety checks, human-reviewed suggestions, and an operational dashboard.

From sensor reading to guarded suggestion¶

Sensor / Simulator → MQTT → Pomona Core → SQLite → Model Router
  → specialist reasoners → Safety Checker → Automation Engine → Dashboard

Safety boundary: the LLM advises; it never directly controls actuators. Deterministic checks and human approval remain in the control path.

Explore Pomona¶

Try without installing

Test guarded tomato, irrigation, and nutrient scenarios in the public browser demo.

Open the demo
Run the local stack

Start MQTT, the APIs, safety services, automation suggestions, and the dashboard with Docker Compose.

Read the quickstart
Understand the safety design

See how model output is constrained by schemas, deterministic rules, and explicit approval.

Explore the architecture
Use specialist reasoners

Browse Pomona's small-model catalog and the lifecycle status of each published or local candidate.

Pomona ecosystem¶

Each public surface has one clear job. Use the documentation as the main hub, then move to the code, models, or live API without losing context.

Documentation

Guides, architecture, safety boundaries, project status, and roadmap.

What works today¶

Capability	Current state
Sensor ingestion	MQTT and REST ingestion with SQLite persistence
Dashboard	Read-only sensor, guarded-pipeline, audit, and service views
Reasoning	Deterministic rules plus guarded local-model routes
Safety	Dedicated deterministic safety checker and actuator-command gate
Automation	YAML rules produce suggestions with manual approve/reject decisions
Public demo	Static Hugging Face Space with preset greenhouse scenarios

Pomona is an early MVP, intended for development and evaluation—not unattended production control. See the current project status for verified capabilities and remaining work.

Start in five minutes¶

git clone https://github.com/okyanu/pomona.git
cd pomona
cp .env.example .env
./scripts/up.sh

In a second terminal:

./scripts/sim.sh

Models and data¶

Model weights and published datasets stay on Hugging Face; platform code, schemas, routing, and deterministic safety logic stay on GitHub.
