Correct measurement of actual plant conditions
Sensors should measure according to the same principle as the plants perceive their surroundings. For example, the Q20 light sensor measures light as light quanta in exactly the same way that plants see light. This means, for example, that the curtains open in the morning when the plants think it’s light and not when we think it’s light.
The right climate can have a big impact on how quickly the plants get ready and whether they become first-class potted plants and vegetables. It is therefore worth investing in a high-quality sensor, as it will pay for itself in a very short time.
Correct placement of the sensors is also important. The sensors should be placed in a representative place in the house. Care should be taken not to have the temperature sensor above a heating pipe or in a hallway, and flow sensors should not be mounted right next to the heating valve.
A correct climate is a prerequisite for top quality plants. Good, accurate sensors are important for optimal climate and are an integral part of climate control.
6 different sensors for different measurements – 5 can be used for both analog climate control and climate computers – 1 can only be used for analog climate control.
Measures room temperature (RT10)
