1000 Series Solar Light Sensor Installation

The Solar Light Sensor offers an accurate, yet cost effective tool to measure solar energy. With a universal mounting bracket and 50ft of cable, this light sensor can be placed inside or outside your greenhouse for: the sensor can be used for the following:

 

For Curtains, it can detect amount of incoming light and maximize light exposure during evenings or minimizes light/heating during the day. For Smart Irrigation, it can be used to measure accumulated light and inject, and when used with the optional CO2 sensor, you can inject CO2 during the photosynthesis process to maximize plant growth.

Here is some information in wiring and programming your sensor.
