The SMED-1 provides VWC (Volumetric Water Content) and the temperature readings from the growing substrate/ medium. This gives you the real data you need to prevent overwatering, underwatering, and excessive root zone heating or cooling. Access the data hidden in your grow medium and fine tune your plant’s feeding schedule for each stage of its growth. The 24/7 real-time substrate data received by the Croptiva Controller is used to:

​

• Trigger local and remote (SMS) alarms

• Provide visual graphing to show trends

• Specifically for the Guardian (GUARD-1) Controller to provide direct (visual graphs) substrate / grow medium feedback when used with  “Crop Steering Programming”.
