Greenhouse Temperature and Humidity Monitoring
Challenge
To ensure optimum performance and plant growth, a greenhouse environment must be maintained at specific temperature and humidity levels.
Solution
A SureCross FlexPower™ Node with internal battery directly connected to a temperature and humidity sensor can provide these measurements without costly conduit or cabling, eliminating the need to manually collect data from multiple sensor locations. IP67 electronics and a variety of filter options make this product suited for the wide temperature and humidity ranges encountered in a greenhouse.
As the wireless network master device, a DXM100 Wireless Controller can be used to schedule specific events, log the temperature or humidity data, or e-mail status messages.
When the temperature or humidity measurements are outside acceptable levels, the DXM100 can e-mail alerts to a specific list of e-mail addresses, activate an alarm system, or trigger environmental control devices to return the greenhouse environment to established conditions.
