Climate Control
Climate Automation
Valvix maintains ideal growing conditions automatically — controlling ventilation, heating, cooling, and humidity based on live sensor data, not manual settings.
- ±0.9°F Temperature accuracy
- 60% Reduction in energy waste
- 24/7 Continuous climate control
The Problem
Manual climate management requires constant attention and perfect timing. A single hour of wrong temperature or humidity can set back crop development by days. Heating systems that run on fixed timers waste energy and still miss the conditions that actually matter.
- Fixed climate schedules don't respond to weather changes
- Manual adjustments happen too slowly to prevent damage
- Energy waste from heating and cooling that runs unnecessarily
- No coordination between ventilation, heating, and humidity systems
How Valvix Solves It
Sensors measure all climate parameters continuously
Temperature, humidity, CO₂, light, and air pressure sensors update every second across all zones.
AI calculates the optimal climate state for each zone
Based on crop type, growth stage, time of day, and outside conditions, Valvix determines the exact target parameters.
Control signals go to ventilation, heating, and shading
Valvix sends commands to your HVAC systems, fans, vents, and shading screens to reach and maintain the target state.
Weather forecast integration adjusts ahead of changes
When rain or temperature change is predicted, Valvix pre-adjusts your greenhouse climate before the outside change arrives.
Energy use is tracked and optimized
The system logs every actuator action and correlates it with energy consumption, identifying savings opportunities automatically.
What You Get
±0.9°F precision
Temperature maintained within tight tolerances throughout the day and night
Smart ventilation
Fans and vents open and close based on actual internal vs. external conditions
Humidity control
Fogging, ventilation, and heating are coordinated to hit the target humidity exactly
Energy savings
Heating and cooling run only when needed — not on a fixed schedule
Weather integration
Outside forecast data helps Valvix anticipate and pre-adjust before conditions change
Multi-zone independence
Each zone has its own climate target — rose varieties and vegetables in the same facility
What Growers Say
Before Valvix, our heating bills in winter were enormous. Now the system only heats when needed, and the temperature is more stable than it ever was manually. Energy costs dropped 40% in the first winter.
The weather integration is the feature I didn't know I needed. The system starts venting 30 minutes before a hot afternoon — the crop never overheats anymore.
We grow 6 different herbs that all want slightly different temperatures. Valvix maintains them all independently. Before we had to compromise. Now each zone is perfect.
Common Questions
Does Valvix control my existing heating and ventilation equipment?
Valvix integrates with most standard HVAC equipment via relay outputs and 0–10V control signals. Our team checks compatibility during onboarding at no charge.
Can the system handle multiple climate zones independently?
Yes. Each zone has its own target parameters, schedule, and control logic. Zones can share equipment (like a central boiler) while maintaining independent control.
What happens if a sensor fails?
Valvix detects sensor faults automatically and alerts you. The zone falls back to a safe default schedule until the sensor is replaced or manually overridden.
Does weather forecast integration require additional hardware?
No. Weather data is pulled from online services via the Valvix cloud and applied automatically. No additional hardware is needed.
How quickly does the system respond to a temperature change?
Response time depends on your HVAC equipment capacity, but the control signal is sent within seconds of detecting a deviation from the target range.
