Vacation Mode – Control Your Grow Tent Remotely via Phone or Voice Commands
Growing cannabis at home is now as easy as saying, โAlexa, turn on the grow lights.โ Smart technology has grown in popularity in cultivation. Growers are discovering new ways to refresh their home grow tent setup. These smart tools introduce a new tech-powered way to grow cannabis.
New-age way to cultivate cannabis
Smartphones and voice commands are a new-age way to cultivate cannabis at home. The tech-assisted growing tools can help optimise your growโand add even more excitement! Hereโs how growers can benefit from remote grow tent management:
- Easy monitoring – check the status of your grow tent with just a few taps, even when youโre away
- Control remotely – did you forget to turn off the lights? Do you need to turn on the oscillating fans to improve airflow? These tasks and more are controlled right from your smartphone
- Peace of mind – having 24/7 access to your grow tent controls keeps you informed about the status of your grow tent.
Best wireless and Bluetooth-enabled equipment
So, what part of the grow tent can you control with a smartphone or voice commands? All grow tents vary, even with smaller home grows. Smart tools help growers personalise the remote controls based on their own setup. Here are the top smart tools to incorporate into your remote setup.
- Temperature/humidity sensors
- Light intensity meter
- Smart power strip
- Water detector
Quickstart your smart grow tent for more efficient and optimised growing.

Temperature and humidity sensors
Control the climate conditions inside your grow tent with the tap of a button. These sensors display the temperature and humidity percentage to ensure they are maintained at the proper levels. Budget options only display the readings. Upgraded options allow users to remotely adjust the temperature settings.
Light intensity meter
The proper grow light setup mimics natural sunlight. Growers adjust their grow lights to accommodate their cannabis plant at different heights. Instead of guessing if you set your lights at the right height, a light intensity meter helps maintain optimal light conditions. A light intensity meter measures how intense the light isโtypically measured at the top of the plant. After adjusting your grow lights, monitor the light intensity levels throughout the day to ensure they are functioning correctly.
Smart power strip
Bring automation to your entire grow tent using a smart power strip. Plug your equipment into the multi-socket units and activate remote control for the whole system. Turn off the grow lights in one tap and power up your air filter with another.
Simplify home cultivation with voice commands
Cultivating cannabis isnโt as hands-on as it used to be. Donโt let couch lock keep you from your cultivation duties. Now, you can activate features of your grow tent with just your voice. Many wireless and Bluetooth growing equipment can be synced with Amazon Alexa and Google Voiceโincluding equipment plugged into a smart power strip.
Here are some examples when voice commands are useful in a home grow tent setup:
- Manually override the light and watering schedule by activating/deactivating the system
- Adjust the temperature by setting a temperature or turning on a fan
- Turn on an alarm to remind yourself when to water your plant
Who should use remote grow tent controls?
New technology can be both exciting and daunting. Modifying a grow tent takes patience to test a new setup to be optimised for the cannabis plant. Controlling your grow tent introduces a new way to monitor and manage equipment settings. After the learning curve, it can be one of the most efficient ways to grow cannabis at home.
Growers who love embracing new ways of growing cannabis will find what theyโre looking for with a remote setup. It turns your smartphone into a powerful grow tool and your voice into your personal grow assistant.
If youโre someone who doesnโt use a smartphone or finds using it complicated, then remote controls will only make your growing process more complex. Itโs best for growers who are already tech-savvy and exploring high-tech solutions to enhance their grow.
Budget-friendly smart grow tools make remote monitoring accessible even for beginner growers.
Upgrade your home grow tent with remote controls
Vacation isnโt recommended when growing cannabis due to daily maintenance. However, with remote control tools, growers can monitor and control their automation even when theyโre away for a few days. Automating the light and watering schedule helps your plant obtain the resources it needs for healthy growth. Remote controls also assist with documenting your grow. Get the temperature, humidity levels, etc., right on your phone.
Look for equipment with wireless or Bluetooth functions for remote access. For wireless equipment, users can be connected to a wireless signal, allowing them to control it remotely from anywhere. Bluetooth and voice commands require closer proximity to the grow tent to function correctly.
