Apparatus and method for discovery and control of internet-of-things components for indoor agriculture and controlled environment systems

An electronic device for automatic control of an indoor agriculture growing environment, the electronic device comprising:

• computer memory;
• a plurality of wireless communication interfaces comprising at least two of WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Xbee, TCP/IP, 3G, 4G, 5G, and LoRa and configured to receive, prior to the electronic device wirelessly pairing with a plurality of peripheral devices comprising at least two of a light for illuminating a grow product, a water pump for supplying water to the grow product, a fan for circulating air to the grow product, an air pump for oxygenating water for the grow product, a heater for increasing a temperature ambient to the grow product, and a chiller for decreasing the temperature ambient to the grow product, a pre-pairing data signal from each of the at least two of the plurality of peripheral devices identifying at least two of the device manufacturer, version, device type, distance, battery life, and timestamp information;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the computer memory and configured to store in the computer memory a registry of all of the plurality of peripheral devices for which the pre-pairing data signal is received via the plurality of wireless communication interfaces,
• wherein the one or more processors is configured to:
• identify and run computer program instructions comprising a recipe identifying environmental conditions for the grow product and for automating over a life cycle of the grow product control of the plurality of peripheral devices via the plurality of wireless communication interfaces;
• receive via one of the plurality of wireless communication interfaces an additional pre-pairing data signal from an additional peripheral device, the additional pre-pairing data signal identifying at least two of the device manufacturer, version, device type, distance, battery life, and timestamp information for the additional peripheral device,
• store in the computer memory registry information regarding the additional peripheral device, and
• identify and run computer program instructions comprising a new recipe identifying environmental conditions for the grow product and for automating over a life cycle of the grow product control of the plurality of peripheral devices and the additional peripheral device via the plurality of wireless communication interfaces.
