Grodan GroSens Gateway Outdoor

Product detailed description

Take full control of your crop

Your journey to precision cultivation starts with reliable data. Grodan GroSens Gateway Outdoor is a key element of a professional monitoring ecosystem that gives you a perfect overview of the conditions in the root zone. This outdoor gateway acts as a central communication hub that wirelessly collects data from individual GroSens sensors and passes it on for further processing. This allows you to base your decisions on irrigation and nutrition on accurate, up-to-date information rather than estimates.

Key benefits of the GroSens system

• Precise real-time data: Gain immediate access to measurements of three key parameters – substrate moisture (WC), electrical conductivity (EC) and root zone temperature.
• Wireless freedom and reliability: Thanks to advanced LoRa technology, the gateway communicates with sensors over a long distance (up to 150 m in a greenhouse) with minimal risk of interference. The system is designed for stability and consistent data transmission.
• Easy integration and scalability: The system can be easily connected to your existing climate computer or used independently via the e-Gro cloud platform. You can connect dozens of sensors and cover even very large growing areas.
• Durability for demanding conditions: Both the gateway and the sensors are designed for the demanding conditions of professional agriculture. The new generation of sensors has IP65 water resistance, which ensures a long service life even when used outdoors.

How it works: Technology for modern growers

The gateway is the brain of local communication. It wirelessly receives signals from sensors placed in your growing medium, typically in rock wool mats. The data is then sent to the Smartbox unit and to the e-Gro cloud platform, where you can monitor graphs, analyse historical data and optimise your cultivation strategy from a computer or mobile phone. The entire system ranks among top control units and is designed for maximum efficiency and simplicity.

Ideal for professional cultivation

This system is an indispensable helper for anyone focused on growing annual plants such as tomatoes, peppers, strawberries or ornamental flowers in hydroponic systems using rock wool substrates. It allows you not only to save water and fertiliser, but above all to achieve higher yields and consistent fruit quality.
