Unlocking Precision Cultivation with the SUNSCAPE Sensor System
How real-time environmental and substrate data drives elite yields and repeatable superior quality
In today’s precision cultivation landscape, data is the foundation of predictable performance. At SUNSCAPE, our sensor-driven irrigation and climate control strategies are built on 8 years of real-world cultivation data from our Innovation Center and commercial facilities. Through precision environmental management and substrate-driven irrigation control, we’ve achieved 60+ consecutive harvests of top-shelf quality with consistently high yields.
From environmental monitoring to substrate moisture sensing and irrigation automation, our integrated sensor platform allows cultivators to see what’s happening both above and below the canopy, transforming guesswork into measurable, repeatable gains.
SUNSCAPE Sensor System: Predictive Cultivation Intelligence
Optimized VPD, tightly managed root-zone moisture, and automated irrigation timing create a stable metabolic environment where plants can operate at full genetic potential. Our suite of sensors and controllers turn raw data into predictive cultivation intelligence.
Here is how the SUNSCAPE ecosystem works together to stabilize your facility:
Sunscape 5-Prong VWC (Volumetric Water Content) Sensor
Precision Substrate Monitoring
Leveraging advanced Time Domain Resonance (TDR) technology, our 5-prong sensor is calibrated specifically for high-porosity hydroponic media. Unlike traditional 3-prong sensors, the 5-prong design is engineered for aggressive crop-steering. It maintains accuracy even in high-EC environments and during deep drybacks, ensuring your data remains reliable when the plant is under the most stress.
This sensor integrates directly with OpenSprinkler Controls, enabling automated irrigation decisions based on real-time root-zone data.
OpenSprinkler Controller
OpenSprinkler bridges the gap between data and action. By linking VWC sensor inputs directly to irrigation outputs, it delivers water based on real-time plant demand, ensuring your drybacks and shots are executed with precision.
Pulse Pro Environmental Monitor
Primary Climate Reference
Pulse Pro records real-time data of Temperature, Humidity, Dew Point, and VPD. It translates environmental fluctuations into digestible dashboards and alerts. As your primary reference sensor, it allows you to fine-tune HVAC and dehumidification to keep plants in their optimal physiological window 24/7.
PULSE THV Sensor
Microclimate Mapping
Climate isn’t always uniform. The compact THV sensor provides spatial insights at the zone or canopy level. By distributing these across your facility, you can identify and eliminate stagnant microclimates that could otherwise lead to pathogen pressure or uneven growth.
Pulse Hub
The Centralized Network
Bring all the sensors into a single network. It connects VWC sensors, environmental sensors (Pulse Pro & THV) and Irrigation controllers. The Pulse Hub is the foundation of a data-driven cultivation workflow, allowing you to log long-term trends and correlate environmental shifts directly with harvest weight and quality.
Data + Automation = Predictable, Repeatable Results
The real power of the SUNSCAPE Sensor System lies in closed-loop feedback:
- Measure: Sensors measure the environment & substrate
- Analyze: Hub logs the data and visualizes trends for deep-dive auditing
- Action: Controllers take action automatically based on your specific parameters.
- Refine: Growers get actionable insights and alerts
Master Your Environment
When your environmental data and irrigation strategy are grounded in accurate sensor feedback, every decision becomes intentional — and every crop gets the chance to reach its genetic potential.
