What does the TrolMaster Green-X GCS-1 control?
The GCS-1 can centrally manage greenhouse climate, irrigation, CO₂, lighting, ventilation, environmental sensors and compatible curtain or vent motors.
Does the GCS-1 include a sensor?
Yes. The GCS-1 includes the MBS-GH 4-in-1 sensor for monitoring temperature, relative humidity, CO₂ and day/night light conditions.
Can the GCS-1 control irrigation?
Yes. The Green-X platform supports programmable irrigation control and can manage up to 96 scheduled irrigation outputs depending on the modules and configuration used.
Can the GCS-1 control grow lights?
Yes. It provides two independent lighting control channels and can support up to 256 compatible fixtures per channel, depending on the lighting brand and adapter configuration.
Can the GCS-1 control greenhouse vents and curtains?
Yes. Compatible AC and DC motor control modules allow the GCS-1 to automate greenhouse curtains, vents and roll-up systems.
Can outdoor weather conditions be monitored?
Yes. When paired with the MBS-WS Weather Station Sensor, the GCS-1 can monitor outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed and rainfall and use that information for greenhouse automation.
Can I monitor substrate moisture and EC?
Yes. The GCS-1 supports compatible WCS-series substrate sensors for monitoring growing-media water content, EC and temperature. Compatibility and sensor limits can vary with firmware version.
Does the GCS-1 work with the TrolMaster App?
Yes. The Green-X system is compatible with the free TrolMaster App for remote monitoring and system management.
Is the GCS-1 suitable for commercial greenhouses?
Yes. Its modular architecture, irrigation capacity, climate controls and expandable sensor network make it suitable for professional small- to medium-scale greenhouse applications.
Can the GCS-1 system be expanded later?
Yes. The Green-X platform is modular, allowing additional device stations, sensors, irrigation modules and compatible control accessories to be added as the greenhouse expands.
