Introducing Growcast: The Future of Grow Light Control
Growcast is Telos’ cutting-edge, decentralised wireless control system, designed for seamless integration with Telos Dynamic fixtures. As the first fully decentralised lighting control technology for growers, Growcast requires no Wi-Fi connectivity, master controller, or timers.
Growcast is operated from any smart device via the Telos Mesh app, available on both Android and iOS. The app provides complete control over multi-fixture set-ups, allowing you to fine-tune settings for optimal growth.
The Science Behind Growcast’s Efficiency
Like the Telos Grow Lights it controls, Growcast allows users to create the perfect environment for producing robust crops and high yields. It enables full control of dimming, scheduling, and automation, enhancing natural growth and yield potentials.
Users optimise light intensity and PPFD outputs for their plants’ growth stages and photosynthetic behaviours with fine-tuned grow light settings. Sunrise & Sunset settings replicate outdoor conditions, minimising plant stress by gradually adjusting light outputs from standby.
Smart Lighting Schedules
Growcast technology permanently changes the way grow lights are controlled, making mechanical timers a thing of the past.
Growcast draws power directly from Telos Dynamic fixtures, eliminating the need for additional power cables. The Telos Mesh app holds photosynthetic output data for each Dynamic light. This allows users to optimise outputs to their grow space, preventing plant stress even when light streams cross over.
The precise PPFD control allows growers to create lighting cycles that support existing feed and nutrient schedules. It ensures that the grow lights controlled by Growcast technology are only in use when plants are actively feeding.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
Growcast reduces grow room energy waste and improves energy efficiency, promoting cost-effectiveness through higher quality crops and bigger yields.
Existing light controllers waste energy by keeping lights on when plants have already reached their saturation point.
Overexposure temporarily stops photosynthesis and slows plant development. Growers respond by increasing light intensity, making the problem worse and increasing energy costs. Growcast keeps light levels below the plants’ saturation point, improving energy efficiency, and reducing waste.
Future-Proof Technology
Growcast is completely future-proofed technology. The system is quickly and easily updated through the Telos Mesh app when new features are released. This ensures growers always have access to the latest lighting control advancements.
Smoothly dimming from standby mode, the grow light fixtures are protected from power surges caused by switching on large AC loads.
Simple Set-up Process
To set up Growcast, simply plug the device in and tap “add” in the Telos Mesh app to create new networks. Each new Growcast added to the network increases the range of the forwarding-on message to other devices rather than reporting back to a central controller.
A single Growcast can control up to 24 Dynamic lights, delivering exceptional value for money. Boosting energy efficiency and yields, and providing unlimited scalability, Growcast is an indispensable tool for growers.
