Rule-based climate automation
CONTROL FANS, FOGGERS, HUMIDIFIERS, AND VENTILATION FROM LIVE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY — EVERY SENSOR AND ACTUATOR GETS ITS OWN RULES.
Unified Environment & Process Automation Platform
Bring climate control, equipment scheduling, and intelligent automation together in a single industrial controller. Ufarms Nexus continuously monitors your growing environment, responds to real-time conditions, and executes programmable schedules to automate every aspect of controlled environment agriculture. Designed for modern greenhouses, indoor farms, hydroponics, vertical farms, and research facilities, Nexus delivers reliable edge-based automation that continues operating even without internet connectivity.
01Difference
Hybrid Automationin One Controller
Sensor-driven climate rules and programmable schedules—coordinated from a single industrial platform.
Advanced programmable scheduling
RUN DURATION, START & END, OR CYCLIC SCHEDULES ON ANY OUTPUT — THE FULL TIME-BASED CAPABILITY OF PULSEPRO, BUILT IN.
Unified hybrid control
EXECUTE SENSOR RULES AND TIME-BASED SCHEDULES SIMULTANEOUSLY — CLIMATE, IRRIGATION, LIGHTING, AND CIRCULATION FROM ONE PANEL.
02Controller
The Central Intelligence for Your Farm — powered by Nexus
Modern controlled environment agriculture depends on dozens of interconnected systems working together. Ventilation, grow lights, nutrient circulation, irrigation pumps, foggers, humidifiers, shade systems, cooling equipment, and environmental monitoring all need to operate in perfect coordination. Managing these systems using separate controllers increases installation complexity, maintenance costs, and operational overhead.
Ufarms Nexus replaces multiple standalone controllers with a single intelligent automation platform capable of monitoring environmental conditions, controlling equipment based on real-time rules, and executing independent schedules for time-based operations. Whether responding to changing climate conditions or performing scheduled farm operations, Nexus ensures your facility operates efficiently, consistently, and reliably around the clock.

Climate Control
Fans, Foggers & Humidity
Automatically control exhaust fans, circulation fans, foggers, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers from temperature and humidity rules.
Water & Nutrients
Irrigation & Circulation
Schedule irrigation pumps, nutrient pumps, mixing pumps, solenoid valves, and NFT circulation with duration or cyclic modes.
Lighting Control
Grow & Supplemental Lights
Run grow lights and supplemental lighting on start & end schedules so photoperiods stay consistent across the facility.
Structure Control
Vents, Screens & Custom Outputs
Coordinate ventilation motors, shade screens, water pumps, and custom relay outputs as part of one hybrid automation strategy.
05Reliability
Configure Once. Your Farm Keeps Running.
Reliable farm automation should never depend on cloud connectivity. After configuration, Nexus stores all automation rules and schedules locally. Even if internet connectivity is lost, environmental monitoring and equipment automation continue without interruption.
- Local Rules & SchedulesStored in the controller — runs without internet
- Edge ProcessingSensor evaluation and timers stay on-site
- No Interrupted AutomationClimate and schedules continue during outages
- Automatic SyncHistory uploads when connection returns
Internet is only required for
- Initial configuration
- Rule updates
- Schedule changes
- Remote monitoring
- Historical synchronization
- Firmware updates
- Reliable hybrid automation even with unstable internet
- No interrupted climate or schedule execution during outages
- Ideal for commercial greenhouses and remote CEA sites
- Local rule and schedule storage for dependable edge operation
- Remote configuration and monitoring when internet is available
Hybrid Automation
This is what makes Nexus unique. A single controller executes both sensor-driven automation and time-based scheduling simultaneously—so exhaust fans follow temperature rules while grow lights and NFT pumps run on independent schedules.
Independent Configuration
Every output can be configured independently. Every sensor can have independent automation rules—so your strategy matches the facility, not the other way around.
Remote Monitoring & Manual Control
View live temperature and humidity, manually control every output, manage rules and schedules, and monitor device health from the Ufarms Grow App.
Historical Analytics
Review temperature, humidity, equipment activity, rule execution, scheduled and manual operations, and controller events to optimize conditions and troubleshoot faster.
Multi-Zone Monitoring
Support up to 32 industrial RS485 temperature and humidity sensors with wired long-distance communication—accurate environmental visibility across compact indoor farms and large commercial greenhouses.
One Platform, Many Modes
Assign each device its own operating mode—temperature rules for exhaust fans, humidity rules for humidifiers, start & end for grow lights, cyclic for NFT pumps, duration for irrigation—all from one centralized controller.
