Thread OP

So me and the misses dedicated ourselves to some greenhouse farming, during the pandemic.  Stuck at home we had nothing to do and the kids were driving us crazy. So why wouldn't we do it and teach the kids something nice?

We came across a problem, since we couldn't control the humidity and temperature on the greenhouse, nor could we read the levels and that was taking a big impact on our germination process and sucess.

Then we found out that a company, whose name is Ruuvi, produces temperature and humidity sensors that we could easily connect to our phones. And let me be completely honest, this was the turning point using Ruuvi products.. Being able to read all those temperature changes on our phones using Ruuvi's app and sensor, during the day and during the night, how was the humidity in the air, really improved a lot our germination success.

Later we bought the Ruuvi Gateway to connect all the sensors to the internet and we are simply amazed. We can read it everywhere we are and even get alerts if the temperature is too low or too high, and humidity too low or too high.


We are really amazed and the products that Ruuvi offers are really good.

Hi @Lewuiis and welcome to the forum Welcome!

Temperature and humidity monitoring and control is always a challenge in the greenhouse no matter the climate. Looks like you found a good quality product to help make it easier. Where are you located?

Welcome!

Are you a Ruuvi representative?

There are lots of products to monitor temperature and humidity with your phone or computer. I can even turn on/off the heat with mine and there's nothing special about it.

I think Daisyl nailed it. Marketing.

I'd love to read about practical measures to control humidity in the deep winter greenhouse beyond the usual ventilation on sunny days once the greenhouse is warm enough to do it.
