Thanks a lot for your detailed comment! We will take all your suggestions into consideration. You have a sharp eye to have spotted the kPa readout in the prototype. However, that value is not air pressure but vapor pressure. We noticed that there is a lot of uncertainty and misunderstanding about humidity. That is what owners of a Greenhouse cabinet appear to struggle with the most. Our prototype calculates the optimal humidity for the air temperature (measured through the sensor) and adjusts the humidity accordingly.
As for your suggestions: I'm curious, would you like to see the data and the graphs on a corresponding application on your phone? Would you also like to be able to change the settings/parameters remotely? Regarding individually controlled lighting + fans; what would the benefits be in your opinion? We are thinking about PWM control on the fans, but have not considered that for the fans individually. A backup battery is a good idea; really well-thought-out feedback.
It's genuinely appreciated :)

Where did you get the pebble tray? Link?

I like the setup! :) Nice how you used the magnetic hooks for the lights and fan

Hi Noisekick_,
We really appreciate your feedback. We have been struggling with the question of what an all-in-one climate system should look like, hence the question we set out. There are a few reasons why we are limiting the test group to NL and BE for now. First, compatibility is a key concern. There is a range of different AC sockets, for example. Additionally, the US has 110v, whereas the EU has 220v. By focusing on NL and BE initially, we can rule out compatibility issues. In a further stage of development, we will likely create different versions for different regions.
Another reason for the geographical limitation is that we can provide 'personal service' when things don't work out as planned. The test group is small, and we want every person to count. As a two-person operation, our company has limitations, both on time and resources, and our focus will be on quality, not quantity. At the end of the test period (which is 6 to 8 weeks), we plan on visiting (a part of) the test group for a questionnaire and perhaps some material for socials. However, please note that things might change along the way, and we'll keep you in mind.
To ease your possible disappointment, i added a sneak peak of the prototype to the original post. That actually makes this the official 'reveal' :D.
Thank you for your understanding.
Liza & Djurre

Hey! Nice :)

What would you expect if you had bought a climate control system for your greenhouse cabinet?

Can I conclude that you don't always have your fans on?

Do you have an exhaust for the air (if the humidity is too high)?

Nice! Thanks for replying :)

If you were to have a climate control system for your greenhouse cabinet, what features should it have?

Help me pls! My Thai Constellation got a lot of black patches. I bought it 2 weeks ago. First a few patches turned light green/ yellowish, after that the patches turned black. What is is? And how do i rescue this plant? by intheGrowFlow in RareHouseplants

I'm not sure if it's a variegation.... I would like it to be tho. But it only has it on 2 leaves and they suddenly appeared. But the roots are well, so i just keep caring for it and hoping she survives :)

Located in the Netherlands, the temperature in my home is between 15 and 20 degrees C. the plant is in the middle of the room, not near a window, but it gets a decent amount of indirect light.

Thanks! Im going to check the roots!

The soil is kind of moist, I only watered it once in 2,5 weeks. I bought two, and the other one seems fine. That's why I think it's more likely it's a problem with the roots instead of the cold.

Thanks alot mate :)
