This Powerful, Autonomous Set-Point Environmental Monitor & Logger Offers Climate Readings In A Simple, Economincal, & Reliable Package
GrowControl SXE Environmental Monitor, Logger & Controller is a precision digital indoor climate sensor with 3-button LCD display featuring temperature, relative humidity, ambient light and optionally CO2 ppm sensors.
A built-in aspirator fan provides a continous flow of air over the sensors for the most accurate readings and fastest response to changing conditions. An air filter is included which is removable and washable.
SXE environment sensor’s built-in color display provides an easy to use interface for monitoring the sensor readings and configuring the control settings. Internal data logging memory provides a 120 point graphical history on the screen and the entire 21,600 data point history can be downloaded using the LX1 USB AgrowLINK and free computer software.
Control equipment based on temperature, humidity or CO2 (optional) values as well as 24-hour and repeat cycle timers when adding one of Agrowtek's relays. Set points have day/night values which are selected based on the reading of the light sensor located on the top of the SXE unit, which detects day or night from ambient light levels.
If you're looking to use an onsite PC, Agrowtek also offers an easy solution for configuration, firmware updates and data logging, and more using the Agrowtek LX1 AgrowLink. When using the LX1, you can connect the MCX to the HX8 8-port hub, which allows the control of multiple sensors and relays directly. Learn more here.
To make sure you set your system up how you truly like and not just how you can get it, Agrowtek systems use standard MODBUS protocalls and can be controlled by MODBUS devises using Agrowtek's LX2 ModLink. Check that out here!

Each system includes:
- SXE Controller/Logger
- OPTIONAL: CO2 Sensor Available (0-10,000 ppm)
