Climate Application Suite
Introduction
Welcome to Microclimates. Managing a grow environment used to mean constant in-person checks, guesswork, and inefficiencies. But with our remote climate control software suite, growers now have full command of their grow zones from anywhere. Let’s start with temperature automation. This module allows you to remotely control heaters and air conditioning with precision. In our current zone, MC Roots, the set point is 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If we flip the card over, we can see the system is active and it’s running the MC Roots recipe. You can click here to change the recipe, and go here to add new recipes and adjust their settings. Below, you can set temperature settings based on the time of day, alter them here and set alerts, and you can go down here to change which temperature sensor your temperature control card is connected to. We can see the sensor card down here. Since this example zone does not have any air conditioning or heating units, both sections say, “None found.” In addition to these automation cards, we also have control cards such as the room airflow control card which shows live data such as the circulation being at 12 CFM and the power draw being at 0.03 kilowatts. On this control bar below, you can drag the dot to set the power draw of the fans. On the back of the card, there are no automation scheduling settings such as you would find on the automation cards, but you can do things such as set the zone of the card like you can on all cards, set alerts, view connected cards, publish any data from the cards, adjust tags for the cards, and add any notes that you might want. For this specific control card, you can also view the fan circuits connected, add fan circuits to be controlled, and view the maximum capacity of this circuit. Now, tying things back to our temperature automation card, we’ve got the room climate card. This is a monitor card that shows you the humidity percentage, the light level, the temperature, the VPD, and the CO2, and if you flip it over, you can change the temperature units, the climate sensors that it connects to, as well as adding a sensor, and the input read interval. Lastly, we have our device card which is connected to a Dragino LHT 65 wireless unit. This unit shows us a bunch of information such as the temperature, humidity, the battery voltage and signal strength, and even the last time that it was sending a connection to Microclimates. You can alter the reporting interval here. And on the back of the card, you can change the devices that are connected.
