GrowDirector:
Advanced Automation Technology
For Small Grower Production
Grow Director is designed to automate the small grower by providing inexpensive sensors and tools to keep your operation at your fingertips, 24/7. Grow Director’s dashboard was designed with a full understanding of the grower’s needs. Therefor, it’s intuitive and easy to use, showing only the relevant information to make sure your plants will thrive and succeed.
Because we understand the many difficulties facing a grower, we give them the opportunity to chose only those module that are actually needed, instead of buying an entire cabinet filled with features the grower may not need. The Grow Director concept is modularity and simplicity.
When the Grow Director package arrives it’s a self-installed system, fully automated and ready to use.

Multiple Devices: One System
The Sensor Director receives information from all other climate sensors, (air temperature, air humidity, PAR, Lux, CO2, VPD, soil moisture, soil EC and others). Without this sensor all the other modules (dry contact, socket, dimmer) can work only on schedules and not according to sensor parameters.
