Technical specifications

Monitoring

The EnviroSensor monitors: temperature, humidity, light levels and CO2 (PRO version)

The remote sensor monitors: Nutrient concentration, pH, moisture levels and temperature

Outputs & Inputs

Output modules 

Our modules have 10 relays which can be used to directly drive devices such as dosing pumps and switch on larger equipment. Can be set up for automation but also has full hardware override – meaning that you can always take control.

Inputs 

  • RS485 to communicate with controller
  • Power input 12/24V (AC or DC)
  • Outputs
  • Output voltage matches input voltage

Expandable

  • The Autogrow MultiGrow can connect to up to 32 of any particular module simultaneously. 32 output modules would provide up to 320 individual outputs, and you could also connect 32 nutrient probes and 32 environment sensors at the same time. The mix of these modules depends on how you grow, what you grow, and what other equipment you have. Your Autogrow dealer will help guide you through these decisions
  • One Autogrow MultiGrow Controller can control up to 8 compartments
  • The modules are all connected via an RS485 daisy chain. The maximum total length of this chain is 1.6km. Expansion options are available beyond that.

  • HAF fans
  • Shade screens
  • Blackout curtains
  • Side walls
  • Cooling pad/wet wall
  • Hydronic heating
  • Multiple light banks
  • CO2
  • Air conditioner
  • Heater
  • Dehumidifier
