GrowDirector App Version 1.11.0 Now Available: Experience the Latest in AI Greenhouse Control
March 21, 2025 – GrowDirector, a leading innovator in AI-powered greenhouse controllers for commercial farmers, today announced the release of its latest mobile application update, version 1.11.0. This significant upgrade introduces a host of new features and improvements designed to provide growers with more intuitive equipment management, enhanced control, and deeper insights into their greenhouse operations.
The new version focuses on empowering farmers with greater flexibility and precision in managing their controlled environment agriculture. Key highlights of the 1.11.0 release include:
Enhanced User Interface and Navigation:
- New AI Screen: Users can now access a dedicated “AI” screen within the app, providing a centralized hub for AI-powered features and analytics. This offers a clearer understanding of the system’s intelligent automation capabilities.
- New “Modules/Devices” Screen: A redesigned “Modules/Devices” section offers an improved interface for managing all connected greenhouse equipment, making it easier to monitor and control individual devices.
- Sensor Screen on Dashboard: A new “Sensors” screen has been integrated into the user dashboard, providing a separate and easily accessible overview of all sensor readings for more informed decision-making.
Advanced Rule Engine for Precise Control:
- Multiple Conditions for Sensor Rules: Growers can now configure sensor rules with multiple conditions, enabling more complex and accurate automation scenarios tailored to specific environmental requirements.
- Rules Based on Average Sensor Values: The introduction of rules based on average sensor values allows for more sophisticated climate control strategies, triggering actions based on the collective readings of a sensor group (e.g., average temperature across multiple zones).
- New Rule Conditions: The app now supports additional rule conditions, including the “day of the week,” offering greater precision in scheduling and automation based on weekly cycles.
- Improved Loop and Step Rules: A waiting time indicator has been added to “Loop” and “Step” type rules, providing a visual progress bar showing the time until the next cycle or step. Additionally, Loop rules now support specifying an execution duration per cycle, offering more flexible control over operational timing.
- Separate Sunrise and Sunset Settings: For time-based rules controlling lighting, separate settings for sunrise and sunset times have been implemented, allowing for more nuanced and energy-efficient lighting scenarios.
- Repeatable Schedule Rules: Schedule-based rules can now be set to repeat daily or weekly at specific times, simplifying the management of recurring tasks.
- Enhanced Sensor Rule Editing: Users can now change the primary trigger sensor in an existing rule without needing to delete and recreate the entire rule, saving time and effort.
Enhanced Security and Stability:
- Refresh Token Support: The implementation of Refresh Tokens enhances app security and provides a more seamless user experience by automatically extending user sessions, minimizing the need for frequent logins.
- Remote Firmware Updates: A significant new feature allows for remote firmware updates to GrowDirector controllers directly through the mobile app, eliminating the need for physical access to equipment for updates.
- Default Notifications: Notifications for critical alerts such as “unable to reach target value” and “maximum device runtime exceeded” are now enabled by default, ensuring growers don’t miss important system alerts.
- General Stability Improvements: This release includes fixes for several minor bugs and inaccuracies, resulting in overall increased stability and reliability of the app and system operation.
New Features for Administrators:
- Statistics Section in Admin Panel: Administrators gain access to a new statistics section within the Admin Panel, offering real-time monitoring of key metrics and comprehensive system data for enhanced analytical capabilities.
- Module Dashboard Link: A direct link to a selected module’s dashboard is now available in the Admin Panel, providing easier navigation for administrators managing multiple devices.
- Module Firmware Update to Any Version: Administrators now have the flexibility to update a module’s firmware to any available version, not just the latest one, facilitating easier testing and rollback procedures.
- Additional Rule Conditions (Admin Panel): The Admin Panel also includes new rule conditions such as “day of the month,” “growth stage period,” and “time of day (day/night),” offering even more granular control for advanced users.
