High Tech in the Hydroponic Farm
Tired of the repetitive task list required to keep your hydroponic farm operating at peak levels? Looking for a better way to get the most out of your investment and time?
There are solutions. The Internet of Things (IoT) uses smart machines to do many of these manual tasks. You already use machines regularly, these are just smarter ones. They are available now and are affordable for the small farmer. Certainly more affordable than crop failure can be.
Successful hydroponic farming requires keeping watch of your environment, solutions, and equipment. Any system should keep you informed of all key elements and let you control these components to meet your specific growing needs.
Hydroponic Monitoring Solutions is just such a system. It is a fully integrated and cost-effective watchdog keeping your farm producing at peak performance.
Using an online dashboard and text alerts, you receive real-time data on key items reported by sensors. These sensors can be in multiple farms, locations, and reservoirs. You can view the status and performance of equipment including historical trend reports without installing any software.
Alerts go to the online dashboard and you decide what text messages to get for critical items. Leaving you time to enjoy the game time with your family knowing you have things under control.
Monitored Elements – What does this system watch?
Nutrient Solutions, the heart of hydroponics
We start with probes submerged into your nutrient solution. These probes send wireless messages to the sensor unit on or close to the reservoir. The probes monitor your solution for several critical components:
EC – electrical conductivity: Nutrient solutions are mineral salts dissolved in water. EC levels show solution strength, higher values indicate higher nutrient levels. Adjusting these levels to your specific crop needs provides the best nutrition throughout the season.
pH level: Nutrient absorption is affected by the pH levels of the solution. Probes check pH constantly, letting you feed at the most effective absorption level for the plants in that box.
DO – dissolved oxygen: DO aids root uptake of the available nutrients through healthy root system development. The probes monitor the DO level, allowing for on demand adjustments as conditions change during the life cycle of the crop.
Water Temperature: Proper water temperature is monitored to maximize nutrient uptake by the root system. Sudden or subtle changes can indicate a system problem and an alert can save later headaches.
Water Level: The amount of water in your system changes over time with absorption and evaporation. Sudden changes may indicate leakage or a clog requiring equipment shut off or maintenance.

Equipment Monitoring and Controls
Improve your equipment operation schedule by aligning it with real time data captured on the indoor environment.
Sudden fluctuation of current flow and vibration can indicate potential equipment failure. You can get an alert letting you tend to the problem immediately or remotely adjust or shut off the equipment, avoiding a bigger mess later.
Hydroponic Monitoring Solutions keeps an eye on your equipment while keeping you in the driver’s seat. This includes the tanks, grow boxes, pumps, vents, fans, oxygenators and CO2 generators.
Environment
Your environment factors include luminosity, temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels.
Hydroponic Monitoring Solutions lets you maintain an optimal growing environment by allowing you to pair your real-time operating schedule with indoor environment data.
The Dashboard

Here’s how it works:
- The probes collect data and send it to the sensor units.
- The sensor units send the collected information to the data cloud for storage.
- You log into your dashboard whenever you want to view information.
(Screen shot of multi-location farm and/or analytics screen.)
From here, you can:
- View and set alerts based on thresholds specific to your crops and farm
- Control equipment operation manually or on a schedule
- View current and historical equipment run-time data
- Adjust the dashboard to match the layout of your farm
- Access historical data and trending charts for later analysis
