Best Tool to Monitor Your Greenhouse for CO2 With the Ubibot External CO2 Probe

Dec 12th 2020

What is the Ubibot External CO2 Probe

When it comes to probes, they come in all shapes and sizes.

What makes good ones good, and bad ones bad, is their functionality, durability, and general quality.

When it comes to the External CO2 Probe developed by Ubibot, it takes advantage of our self-developed Carbon Dioxide Probe technology, ensuring that it can measure CO2 in a range from 0 to 10000 ppm with an accuracy of ±(30ppm + 3%).

When it comes to managing a greenhouse, you need to look out for CO2 levels.

When it comes to the CO2 concentration in ambient air, it can range from 300 to 500 parts per million or ppm, which can play a huge role in the greenhouse development cycle.

With the global atmospheric average of 400 ppm, if you are growing in a greenhouse, or indoors, the CO2 levels might get reduced as the plant can use it up during photosynthesis.

Chances are that if you are a gardening professional, or even an amateur, you might be aware that carbon dioxide, as well as the gas we as human being s exhale, is critical in order for a plant to grow and develop.

Through the process of photosynthesis, the process through which the plans use light to create food, you are looking at a large requirement of carbon dioxide.

Through the increasing of CO2 levels in these environments, you can gain better overall results.

Furthermore, there are other benefits to this, if you go up to 1500 PPM, the yields can be increased by 30%.

Keep in mind that this probe, is an extension, addon, and accessory to other UbiBot Devices.

This means that you can connect it to the GS1 series of the devices, such as the GS1-AL4G, the GS1-AETH and so on.

How does the Ubibot External CO2 Probe Work?

You insert the probe in the location where you want to measure the level of CO2 in a given room or environment.

After the probe has been placed and set, it then transfers that information to the devices such as the GS1-AL4G, the GS1-AETH.

You can then view this information through the UbiBot IoT platform.

Through this platform, you have the capabilities of receiving all of the information instantly, which is based on the preferences you yourself set in the application settings.

What Makes Ubibot External CO2 Probe Best When Compared to the Rest

One of the key features that this probe has, is the fact that it can connect to the pre-established Ubibot line of devices, which all work flawlessly in one connected ecosystem through the IoT platform.

This means that, you can access all and any of the information the probe generates about the CO2 levels in the room, all from either the web app or the downloadable application available on many modern smartphones and tablets.

As such, our ecosystem is fully optimized to work with all of these systems in place which ensures maximum efficiency as well as seamless integration.

Ubibot External CO2 Probe Connects through the Ubibot IoT Cloud

When you purchase any of the Ubibot line of products, you get instant availability to our free application.

This application can be used to view the data from devices such as the UbiBot GS1.

The GS1 can connect to the internet through either a WiFi or an Ethernet connection.

It can also store the data locally, on its physical memory, for up to 300.000 records.

Why would you need internal storage in a device that can easily connect to the internet?

Well, this is due to the fact that many internet connections are unstable.

Even the most stable connection, is online 99% of the time.

This leaves to a 1% gap where the data cannot be synched with the services.

As such, since the GS1 is smart and coded well, it will store the data on its physical memory before it gets online again.

The moment when the device gets online, all of the data will instantly be synced with the IoT platform from Ubibot, although the speed depends on the speed of the internet connection.

This means that your greenhouse data will remain safe no matter what happens.

What You Can Gain from Taking Advantage of the Ubbot Iot Platform?

In order to fully understand why the Ubibot IoT ecosystem works, you need to understand how it is used.

You connect your probe to your Ubibot device, next, the smart device will be able to process and store the data in its physical memory, after which, the data, after an internet connection has been established, will be able to sync to the application, giving you access to it from just about anywhere.

You can set your own parameters about how you want to be notified.

This can be done through either the room dropping CO2 levels by a huge amount, or increasing the CO2 levels by a huge amount.

Once you set these parameters, the platform can notify you through your smartphone.
How does this happen?
There are multiple ways through which you can be notified, including push notifications from the application itself, calls, SMS notifications, and other things.

This is due to the fact that in some cases, even your own phone may go offline, so having a plan B, for example, an SMS, can really help you in tricky situations.

The best part about all of this is the fact that you can share access to this information with just about anyone you want to.

The data is fully sharable, and with your permission, another person who might be interested in maintaining CO2 levels in your greenhouse can also view the data in real time, analyze it, and intervene if possible.

This is the main reason why the Ubibot line of products stand out from any other, and why the Ubibot External CO2 Probe should be on your list the next time you are shopping for your greenhouse solution when it comes to monitoring the levels.
