GrowControl™ GCX Cultivation Control System
Climate, irrigation and hydroponics control for your whole facility: up to 100 GrowNET™ devices on the GCX and 200 on the GCX+, with free remote access, email alerts and updates.
One Controller for Your Whole Facility
Climate, irrigation and hydroponics on one screen: HVAC temperature and humidity, light dimming and spectrum, crop steering, CO₂ and nutrient dosing.
Email and text alerts tell you about problems right away, and free remote access from your phone or PC keeps you in control. Start simple and add devices as the facility grows.
Three Sizes, One Network
Every GrowNET™ device works with every controller. Pick the size for today; move up when the facility grows.

Sense, control and respond on one cable.
Sensors, relays, valves and pumps connect with standard Ethernet cable through HX8 hubs placed in each room.
Each GrowNET™ device uses one address on the controller's network: 100 on the GCX, 200 on the GCX+.
Environment Sensors
Temperature, humidity, ambient light and optional CO₂ in one sensor. Add one or more per room to control cooling, heating, humidity and CO₂.

Relays & I/O
Dry contacts for HVAC, DC outputs, discrete and analog inputs, 0-10 V lighting control and reversible motor controls.
View Relays & I/O ›
Irrigation Control
Multi-zone irrigation with moisture-sensor crop steering or timed irrigation events.
View Moisture sensors ›
Hydroponics Sensors
Temperature, pH, EC, ORP and dissolved oxygen for stock tanks and recirculating systems.
