Automate Your Fruiting Chamber

Monitor humidity, CO\u2082, temperature, and fresh air exchange — from your phone. No coding required.

The Problem with Manual Grows

Crop loss from humidity swings

Manual misting is unreliable — a 10% RH drop during pinning can abort a flush. PID automation maintains ±2% RH continuously, day and night.

No visibility when you’re away

Check live sensor readings from work, receive alerts the moment CO₂ climbs or humidity drops below threshold — without driving back to check.

Complex automation tools

No YAML, no terminal, no Python scripts. LoopString’s visual drag-and-drop flow builder lets you wire up sensors and actuators in minutes.

How LoopString Solves It

PID humidity control

On-edge PID loops run directly on your Raspberry Pi, keeping relative humidity tight to setpoint even when your internet is down.

CO₂ monitoring

MH-Z19 NDIR sensor integration with live sparklines. Watch CO₂ trends across fruiting stages and trigger FAE fans automatically.

Automated fresh air exchange

Schedule FAE fan cycles by time of day or CO₂ threshold — configurable rules, no coding required.

Alert thresholds

SMS and in-app notifications fire immediately when temperature, humidity, or CO₂ breach your configured limits.

Data logging & history

Sensor readings are logged automatically. Review trends over days or weeks to optimize your fruiting conditions and track grows.

How It Works

1

Flash a Pi SD card

Download our Pi image, flash it to an SD card, and boot. The first-boot wizard connects your device to your account in about 5 minutes.

2

Plug in your sensors

Connect a DHT22 for humidity and temperature, an MH-Z19 for CO₂, and any relay board for your humidifier and FAE fans.

3

Pick a template and deploy

Select the Mushroom Fruiting Chamber template, review the auto-generated flow, deploy in one click, and monitor from your phone.
