ASTON, Pa., February 29, 2024 – Sensaphone’s Sentinel™ remote monitoring system allows for continuous monitoring of critical factors that affect plant growth in greenhouses, including temperature, humidity, air circulation, soil moisture, carbon dioxide levels, water acidity and electrical power. The system continuously tracks theseconditions and compares them with the ideal levels required for each plant species and growth phase. Should any of these conditions move out of range, the system immediately notifies the staff via phone, text or email. This prompt alert enables quick action to address any issues, ensuring the plants remain in an optimal environment.

The Sentinel system not only continuously records vital environmental data but also helps greenhouse managers spot patterns that could suggest looming equipment issues, allowing for preventative action before plants are harmed.

The cloud-based Sentinel monitoring system enables operators to access up-to-the-minute data around the clock from any location using a mobile device, computer or Sensaphone app. Users can also access historical data, adjust settings and deactivate alarms.

Sensaphone offers both cellular and Ethernet models of the Sentinel system, each capable of monitoring up to 12 different status conditions. Housed within a NEMA 4X enclosure, the Sentinel unit is shielded from dust, dirt and moisture, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.The Sentinel system continuously transmits a signal to the Sensaphone cloud to verify its connectivity. Should a disruption occur, the system triggers an alert indicating a cellular communications issue or lost internet connection. It then notifies staff about the disruption via phone, text or email.
