Transform Your Grow with VIVOSUN's Smart Ecosystem
VIVOSUN automation solutions integrate seamlessly across climate, lighting, and irrigation systems. Built on an expandable SGS (Smart Garden System) platform, these controllers provide growers with professional-grade precision previously reserved for commercial operations.
End the Constant Monitoring Cycle
Temperature and humidity swings damage crops and reduce yields. VIVOSUN's intelligent controllers maintain your target environment automatically.
- The
GrowHub E42A+ calculates Vapor Pressure Deficit in real-time, adjusting fans, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers to maintain optimal VPD ranges throughout each growth stage. This synchronization prevents stress-induced issues like powdery mildew and nutrient lockout.
- WiFi connectivity enables remote monitoring through the VIVOSUN app. Receive alerts for temperature spikes or humidity drops, then adjust settings from anywhere. Pair with
intelligent humidifiers like the AeroStream H09 for automated moisture control.
- Programmable grow recipes automate day/night cycles and environmental transitions. Set once, then let the system execute your strategy while you focus on plant health.
Build Your Automation Layer by Layer
Start with basic speed control and expand into full environmental automation as your setup grows.
- Entry-level growers benefit from the E12 speed controller paired with
AeroZesh inline fans. PWM control reduces fan speed during lights-off periods, cutting noise and energy use by up to 30% while maintaining proper air exchange.
- The
GrowHub E25 expands your system by connecting multiple SGS-compatible devices including lights, humidifiers, and oscillating fans. Control everything from a single interface without needing separate apps or timers.
- Advanced cultivators running multiple tents appreciate seedling heat mats with digital thermostats. Maintain precise 68-86°F root zone temperatures during propagation, then graduate seedlings to tents managed by GrowHub controllers for seamless environmental continuity.
Automation That Pays for Itself
Smart controllers reduce operational costs while improving crop consistency.
- EC motor technology in VIVOSUN fans consumes significantly less power than traditional AC motors. When managed by intelligent controllers that modulate speed based on temperature readings, energy savings compound over 12-18 week grow cycles.
- The
AeroDrain D12 dehumidifier integrates with GrowHub systems to extract moisture only when needed. Targeted operation prevents over-drying while reducing electricity consumption compared to constantly-running units.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the E12 and E42A controllers?
The E12 is a wired speed controller with programmable schedules and environmental probe support. The E42A+ adds WiFi connectivity, VPD calculation, remote app control, and compatibility with multiple SGS devices. If you're starting with a single fan, the E12 provides excellent value. For multi-device automation or remote monitoring, the E42A+ is worth the investment.
Can I control VIVOSUN lights and fans with the same controller?
Yes, through the GrowHub E25 or E42A+ controllers. Both support SGS-compatible devices including
AeroLight LED grow lights, AeroZesh fans, AeroStream humidifiers, and more. You'll manage all equipment through one app with synchronized schedules and environmental triggers.
How does VPD automation actually improve yields?
VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) balances temperature and humidity to optimize transpiration rates. When VPD is dialed in, plants efficiently absorb nutrients and water without stress. The E42A+ continuously calculates VPD and adjusts your climate equipment to maintain ideal ranges for each growth phase. This prevents common issues like nutrient deficiencies and mold while maximizing photosynthesis. Learn more in our guide on
temperature and humidity control.
Do seedling heat mat thermostats work with grow tent controllers?
VIVOSUN's seedling heat mat thermostats operate independently with precise 68-108°F control for propagation trays. Once seedlings establish, transfer them to tents managed by GrowHub controllers. While these systems don't directly integrate, they complement each other perfectly for start-to-finish cultivation.
Will automation controllers work with non-VIVOSUN equipment?
The E12 and E42A+ controllers are designed specifically for VIVOSUN AeroZesh fans. However, you can use standard outlet timers with GrowHub controllers to manage non-SGS devices like dehumidifiers or heaters based on environmental triggers. For best integration, stick with
VIVOSUN air filtration and climate control equipment.
What's the easiest way to start automating an existing grow tent?
Begin by upgrading your inline fan to an AeroZesh model with an E12 controller. This single change automates ventilation based on temperature and humidity readings. Next, add an AeroStream humidifier if you battle dry conditions. Once you experience the convenience, expand to a GrowHub E42A+ for full multi-device control. Check our article on
optimizing grow room climate for detailed setup guidance.
How reliable is WiFi control if my internet goes down?
E42A+ controllers store your programmed schedules and automation rules locally. If WiFi drops, your fans, lights, and other devices continue operating on their last saved settings. You'll lose remote monitoring and app control temporarily, but your grow environment remains stable. Once connectivity restores, the system syncs automatically.
Can I run multiple tents from one controller?
Each GrowHub controller manages devices within WiFi range, but you'll want separate controllers for tents requiring different environmental conditions. For example, use one E42A+ for your flowering tent maintaining lower humidity, and another for your vegetative
VIVOSUN grow tent running higher humidity. The VIVOSUN app manages multiple controllers from one dashboard.
