Greenhouse Automation Systems
Greenhouse automation connects sensors and controllers to fans, pads, screens, vents and irrigation so the house reacts to temperature, humidity and light without constant manual switching. ClimaSpan scopes automation with the climate and irrigation package for your structure and crop, then quotes by project.
Equipment selection and scope are confirmed in a written quote after we review your greenhouse size, layout, crop and climate. We do not publish public prices or catalogue-only spec sheets on these pages.
What the system does
- Reads temperature, humidity and other signals from sensors placed in the crop zone.
- Stages exhaust fans, circulation fans, pad pumps, vents and screens according to setpoints.
- Can start irrigation or alarms when the project includes those loops.
- Reduces manual switching while keeping operators able to override for maintenance.
Selection points
- List existing controllers, sensors and actuators — or note if the house is manual today.
- Prioritise which loops matter first: ventilation, cooling, screens, irrigation or alarms.
- Share electrical supply details and who will operate the system day to day.
- Controller model and I/O counts are confirmed only in the written quote.
How it pairs with structure and crops
- Sensor height should match canopy height on benches or hydroponic rows.
- Exhaust, pad and circulation equipment need matching control outputs and safeties.
- Screens and vents often share the same climate computer as the fan stages.
- Irrigation automation should respect humidity and leaf-wetness limits set for the crop.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a full climate computer on day one?
Not always. Some houses start with thermostats and simple staging, then expand. Tell us your labour and crop risk tolerance when requesting a quote.
Can automation retrofit existing fans and pads?
Often yes if motors and valves accept the proposed control signals. Send nameplate photos and wiring notes.
Are there public price lists for controllers here?
No. Controllers and sensors are quoted per project after we map inputs and outputs.
