Show HN: Pomona, offline small AI reasoners for agricultural sensors
Pomona is an open edge AI platform for agriculture that provides MQTT ingest, reasoning, deterministic safety checks, and dashboards for greenhouses. The platform is free to use and modify under the Apache-2.0 license and can be cloned, forked, and contributed to. Pomona's architecture includes a sensor or simulator, MQTT, pomona-core, DB, model-router, reasoner, advisor, safety-checker, automation-engine, and dashboard.
- ▪Pomona is an open-source platform that uses Docker for deployment and provides a quickstart guide for easy setup.
- ▪The platform has a deterministic safety-checker that advises on automation actions but never directly controls actuators.
- ▪Pomona has a roadmap with 11 phases, with phase 2 being the primary product focus, which includes a dashboard and database.
