SEron environment monitoring and control system - temperature and humidity environment system
This system ran for over 10 years on a commercial mushroom farm near Toowoomba, which at its peak produced over 2 tonne of mushrooms a week. SEron
Version 1 has been designed around but is not limited to mushroom farming. SEron has up to 32 monitoring units which feed back to a PC for analysis and recording. The monitoring units (RTU) can be used to control air-conditioning units if the control card is added. The system includes its own custom designed monitoring and gathering software for PC.

Features:
  • Low cost
  • One humidity and two temperature sensors per unit
  • Local readout (2 line LCD) and control of each unit
  • Remote PC readout, graphing and recording
  • Up to 32 units on the same cable
