Start with the essentials
Node One is a dedicated reef monitoring computer. Node OS brings supported equipment readings, power information, alerts, and local history into one glanceable display.
This manual documents behavior verified in the current Node One software. Features still being completed are identified clearly or left out until they are ready.
Go from first power-on to your working dashboard.
Learn the five tabs, tiles, groups, alerts, and board.
Discover equipment and connect Matter, Shelly, Apex, HYDROS, and HomeKit paths.
Use symptom-first checks for power, Wi-Fi, equipment, readings, and syncing.
Node One first
Node One has its own product identity, software, local dashboard, and documentation. Reef Trak is a companion platform that can extend the experience with selected remote readings and water-test history.
The current guided setup uses a one-time pairing code from the Reef Trak app. After setup, Node One keeps monitoring, history, and alerts running locally when the internet is unavailable.
