Vegetronix - Relative Humidity (RH) Sensor
Your plants breathe just like you do. When humidity levels drop too low, the plants transpire (breathe) faster than nutrients can be transported. Since only water is transpired, nutrients become overly concentrated. Depending on the plant and their growing phase, plants need a relative humidity range between 40% to 70%. The flowering range is usually lower than the vegetative growth stage. For example, cannabis is optimally grown indoors at 50% to 70% during vegetative growth, and 50% to 60% while flowering. Our air humidity sensors, can help you achieve the optimal relative humidity for your plants. The VG-HUMID is a low-cost, low-power, precision relative humidity (RH) sensor, for measuring relative humidity of air.
The sensor and electronics are enclosed in a weather resistant flanged box for easy mounting. The electronic sensor is directly connected to the outside air through a small inlet tube, on the bottom side of the box near the cable gland. Because the small inlet tube isolates the sensor from the rest of the air volume in the box, latency to changes in relative air humidity is reduced.
Simple 3 Wire InterfaceThe sensor has a simple electrical interface of 3 wires: ground, power and an analog output voltage which is linear and directly proportional to the relative humidity ranging from 0 to 3.0V, where 0 represents 0% humidity and 3.V represents 100% humidity. It can be powered with a voltage supply from 3.5V to 20V, and consumes less than 11 mW (3.4mA at 3V).
When ordering this relative humidity (RH) sensors, you can select the length of the power cable in standard 2 meter, 5 meter or 10 meter lengths. The sensing cable comes in the standard lengths of 1 meter and 3 meter lengths. See the ordering table below.
Vegetronix Agricultural Building BlocksWe provide modular building blocks that you need to create your agriculture application. With these building blocks, you can create systems that will monitor light levels and control lights and valves based on the readings.
For recording data, we carrier simple low-cost data loggers, which can read up to 8 sensors. Waterproof wall mountable displays allow you to see your sensor data, near its source.
For remote viewing of data, we provide a WiFi Data Logger, which will read up to 4 sensors, and store data in the cloud. This Sensor Hub lets you remotely view your sensor data on your phone`s web browser. You can even receive text messages, and email alerts.
We`ve partnered with the sensor cloud site - VegeCloud.com which will graph, store, and manage your air humidity data.
