Greenhouse Controls

Weather Station

Examples of how the Weather Station data allows advanced control:

Energy Curtains

  • Solar readings allow you to cover for shading
  • Outdoor temperature ensures your system is only covering when heat retention is needed.
  • Precipitation and Outdoor temperature prevent snow build up on your greenhouse, maximizing the solar intake.

    Irrigation & Mist

  • Use solar readings to trigger your irrigation or misting system.
  • Vapor Pressure Gradient AKA Vapor Pressure Deficit Vents and side walls
  • Establish parameters to define minimum and maximum wind speed and direction for each vent or side wall.
  • Determine when your vents should be prevented from opening based on outdoor temperatures.
  • Set maximum opening for each vent for when there is precipitation.
