Frequently asked questions

Where should I put the temperature sensor?

It is best to hang the temperature sensor at the height of your crop. That way the controller is responding to conditions near the plants. Even in a high tunnel or hoop house, the temperature can vary widely from the ceiling to the ground. It’s best of have the sensor close to your crops.

How can I see what temperature it is in my hoop house on my smart phone?

My AC powered controller seems to be turning on and off on its own when it tries to open the side walls. What’s going on?

There is a good chance the motor for one of your side walls is getting overloaded due to an obstruction holding on to the side wall. If the motor gets overloaded, it can cause the controller to temporarily lose power. Check out both side walls and see if any straps, ropes, wires or similar objects are entangled. Clear these obstructions and try again.
