Measurements are periodic
Temperature, humidity, CO2 and soil moisture may only be checked a few times each day.
SMART GREENHOUSE · GROWTH ENVIRONMENT CONTROL
Smart Greenhouse Monitoring and Control System
Environmental monitoring and equipment automation by zone
Connect temperature, humidity, light, CO₂ and soil-moisture sensors to YenGear IoT Cloud, then connect fans, cooling pads, pumps, curtains and grow lights by project. View each zone and configure control rules from one system.
Zone measurementsMatched field I/OMulti-greenhouse operating view
On site
Greenhouse zones need coordinated operation
Manual rounds and distributed equipment make it difficult to respond at the right time.
Equipment is distributed
Fans, irrigation, curtains, pumps and lights across several zones make local control time-consuming.
Night conditions go unseen
Cold fronts, storms and humidity changes can occur between manual inspections.
Records are incomplete
Without consistent history, teams must rely on memory when comparing growing cycles.
System workflow
From greenhouse measurements to equipment control
Keep sensor interfaces, communications and equipment control clear for each zone.
- 01
Measure the growing environment
Select temperature, humidity, light, CO₂ and soil-moisture sensors for the crop and installation.
- 02
Match the field interfaces
Serial sensors and model-specific I/O connect the measurements and equipment signals. Y301-880 provides digital I/O, not analog sensor inputs.
- 03
Connect to the application
Choose the serial gateway and site uplink for wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi or cellular access.
- 04
Apply configured control
The selected controller and application operate compatible fans, pumps, curtains and lights according to approved zone rules.
Local automation and offline operation depend on the controller and configuration. Cloud commands require a working uplink.
Monitoring and control
Daily greenhouse monitoring and control
Monitor conditions, control equipment, notify staff and review records in one operating view.
Zone monitoring
Track temperature, humidity, light, CO2 and soil moisture on the dashboard.
Automated control
Run rules such as temperature-triggered fans, dry-soil irrigation, shade curtains, or grow lights.
Group control
Open vents, start irrigation or switch grouped equipment from one phone screen.
Multi-channel alerts
Send app, SMS, or email notifications with the greenhouse, zone, reading, and alert level.
Historical records
Store readings, equipment actions, and alerts for reports by day, week, month, or growing cycle.
Network options
Use WiFi, wired Ethernet or optional 4G backhaul according to the site.
Application examples
Match the growing environment to the crop
Rules and equipment vary by crop, site and growth stage.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers
Ventilation, fan, drip irrigation, and CO2 rules for tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers.
Roses and lilies
Light, shade, supplemental lighting, temperature, and humidity control for roses and lilies.
Nursery work
Tighter temperature, misting, humidity, and gradual light ramping for nursery work.
Specialty crops
CO2, humidity, fresh-air intake, fogging, and strict temperature-band alerting.
Deployment planning
Plan greenhouse zones and control points
Connect greenhouse zones, sensors and equipment around the crop and site layout.
Map greenhouse count, zones, crops and control points before selecting sensors and network paths.
Connect temperature, humidity, light and soil-moisture points to the selected I/O and network equipment.
Configure zone rules, alerts and group controls for the operating schedule.
Deployment planning
An operating view for the greenhouse team
The system combines zone data, equipment control and records for day-to-day greenhouse work.
| Generic IoT platform | YenGear smart greenhouse solution |
|---|---|
| Sensors, protocols, dashboards, and logic often require IT configuration. | Mount modules, connect zones, name equipment, and use growing rules your team understands. |
| Automation builders are written for industrial engineers. | Rules read like greenhouse practice: if temperature is high, open vents and start fans. |
| Multi-greenhouse management may require separate dashboards or enterprise tiers. | Greenhouses, crop groups, zones, alerts, and group control share one operating view. |
| Reports often start as raw data exports. | Environmental records are organized for growing-cycle review and audit preparation. |

FAQ
Answers about installation, networks, rules, outages, records, scale and project scope.
How long does installation take?
Installation depends on greenhouse count, zones, sensors, existing networks and access conditions. We confirm the schedule after a site review.
What if our greenhouses do not have WiFi?
The site can be assessed for wired Ethernet, industrial WiFi access points or cellular backhaul. The choice depends on zone distance, power, network coverage and installation conditions.
Can non-technical growers change rules?
Users can change the rules permitted by their role. The available conditions, actions, approvals and pre-configured templates depend on the deployment and should be confirmed during setup.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Local measurement, buffering and pre-configured automation can continue when the selected controller and project configuration support them. Cloud commands and records synchronize only after the connection returns.
Can it support organic or GlobalG.A.P. records?
Environmental history can be exported for a selected date range and used as input to audit preparation. Whether the data and format satisfy a particular scheme or buyer requirement must be confirmed with the responsible auditor or customer.
Can one system handle multiple greenhouses?
The platform can organize greenhouses, zones, crop groups, rules, team access and group controls. Confirm the supported scale and deployment model for your project.
How does pricing work?
Pricing depends on greenhouse count, zones, sensors, control points, network and integration requirements. Scope, options, lead time and quotation terms are confirmed after the project information is reviewed.
