Precision control requires more than
on-off logic and deadbands.
Unity is the automation layer for facilities that need more precise environmental control, better consistency, and 20-30% energy savings.
Built on hardened industrial automation hardware with open standards and protocols, Unity is designed with no single point of failure and can keep running whether the internet is up or down.
Reactive control is expensive.
Predictive control creates consistency.
When a system waits for drift, the crop feels the miss before the controller reacts. That means more inconsistency, more stress, and more time spent compensating for conditions the room should have avoided in the first place.
Traditional climate control overshoots, undershoots, and cycles inefficiently because it is always catching up. Unity is built to anticipate load, sequence equipment more intelligently, and hold the room closer to target without the same waste and instability.
That matters because better control does more than save energy. It creates the environmental consistency operators need to protect quality, reduce avoidable stress, and improve performance over time.
The control family behind
real facility execution.
Unity is Grownetics' control and execution layer across the systems that shape plant performance. That includes environmental control, lighting control, and greenhouse equipment coordination, all built around industrial hardware, hardwired reliability, and deployment models commercial operators can actually use.
Environmental Control
For indoor rooms and HVACD-heavy environments, Unity anchors control around the realities of mechanical equipment, dehumidification load, and room-level stability. This is where ATMOS1 lives today: a high-efficiency controller built on the Schneider Electric MODbus PLC platform for one-room environmental control.
- HVAC, dehumidification, heating, ventilation, and CO₂ coordination
- Hot-Gas Reheat and Variable Fan Speed control
- Built to order to UL industrial automation standards
- Optional Variable Compressor Control upgrade
Lighting Control
Unity also defines a dedicated lighting-control layer for facilities that need more than simple on-off scheduling. The goal is smarter lighting execution across greenhouse and hybrid environments where electrical load, daylight response, and multi-zone coordination matter.
- Staged multi-zone startup to reduce inrush and generator load
- Shade and blackout curtain coordination
- PPFD-based midday override off and on logic
- Future-ready path for pulse dimming and spectral control
Greenhouse Control
For greenhouse environments, Unity extends beyond HVACD into the broader equipment choreography required to hold conditions and respond intelligently to changing outdoor inputs. That means one control architecture across the systems that actually move the greenhouse.
- Vent, fan, pump, heating, exhaust, and curtain coordination
- Greenhouse-specific environmental sequencing
- Pre-wired and pre-programmed deployment model
- Remote installation and commissioning support included
Industrial reliability without
enterprise complexity.
vs. Consumer-grade systems
Consumer-grade controls are fine for small grows. At commercial scale, you need hardware that meets industrial certification standards, predictive algorithms, and the kind of support that comes with operational accountability. Unity is UL-certified. That's not a marketing checkbox. It's the difference between insurance coverage and not.
vs. Legacy enterprise systems
Legacy enterprise systems can deliver capability, but often with more cost, more implementation friction, and less adaptability for modern CEA operators. Unity is built to deliver industrial control performance in a package that is easier to deploy, easier to work with, and better aligned to the broader Grownetics methodology.
Unity does not exist in isolation. It is part of a broader system built around Total Crop Steering. CropVision helps operators understand what is happening in the room, and Unity gives them the hardwired control layer needed to act on that understanding with industrial reliability. Together, they create a stronger basis for better steering over time.
That includes equipment-aware control logic and instrumentation. Unity can track coil temperature alongside room air temperature so operators can spot underperforming equipment before the room deviates too far, and it includes built-in optimizations for variable fan control and variable compressor control.
Built to the standard
inspectors actually require.
Every Unity control panel ships UL-certified. Not "UL compliant." Not "designed to UL spec." Certified. The distinction matters for insurance, inspections, and the fact that your facility needs to keep running.
Total redundancy means every critical component has a failover path. Sensor failure? The system falls back on adjacent sensor data. Communication failure? Local control logic continues without the cloud.
- UL 508A listed control panels
- N+1 redundancy on critical components
- Local failover: continues operating offline
- Full documentation package for inspections and insurance
- Coil-temperature and equipment-aware monitoring to catch underperformance early
- Built-in optimizations for variable fan and variable compressor control
Precision control,
proven at scale.
"We've tried all the control solutions out there. We used to use the cheap ones, but they go out of calibration constantly. They're buggy. They glitch out. They don't hold recipes. And they definitely don't track down to the coil temperature of our air conditioning units to understand where a problem might be starting before it's a problem."

Better together with CropVision.
Unity is designed to operate with CropVision sensor data, closing the loop between what you see and what you control. CropVision feeds real-time microclimate data; Unity acts on it. Together, they create the tight-loop cultivation system that top producers run.
Stop reacting to your climate. Start controlling it.
Every facility is different. We'll scope a Unity system for your actual square footage, equipment, and yield targets and show you the ROI math.
