Manage your greenhouse in the cloud
The Sentinel system’s user-friendly cloud functionality lets greenhouse managers change settings, disable alarms and readjust temperature limits right from the Sensaphone iPhone/Android app or sensaphone.net. The cloud-based Sentinel remote monitoring system also makes it easy to calibrate temperature sensors.
The Sentinel system constantly communicates a signal to the Sensaphone cloud to validate its online status. If the communication link is interrupted – for example by a power outage or an employee accidentally switching off the unit – the system generates an alarm indicating that Internet connection is lost or that there is a cellular communications problem. Users are alerted about the disruption through phone, text or email.
“With the app, greenhouse growers can manage their entire monitoring operation right from their smartphone,” said Rob Fusco, Technical Support and Service Manager at Sensaphone. “And because the Sentinel system is cloud-based, it essentially supervises itself."
The Sentinel system can also be used as a data acquisition device. Unlike traditional monitoring devices that store data internally and overwrite older information, the cloud-based Sentinel system allows unlimited data logging that users can view, graph, print and export.
Only one unit is required to monitor up to 12 different environmental and equipment status conditions including temperature from -109 °F to 168 °F (-85 °C to 76 °C), humidity, water detection, power failure and more. The standard Sentinel system is Ethernet-based, but it is also available with a cellular option for remote locations where Internet connectivity is unavailable.
