Please note, the instructions on this page are for the older version of the Sigrow Web App. It can still be accessed via the following URL for the time being to smooth the transition to the new App v3. https://app2.sigrow.com/webapp/
In this article you will find an explanation of how to navigate the Sigrow Web App as well as the different features available to you.
To get started, you can login to the Sigrow Webapp at:
Once logging in, you will see a number of pages with different functionalities. Below we will explain each page.
The pages available are Nodes Map > Charts > Timelapse > Stomata cameras > Readings

1. Nodes Map page
When you login via desktop, your dashboard looks something like the image below that we refer to as the Nodes Map.
Fig. Nodes Map of Sigrow Webapp
At the top left, you have a selector which indicates the current central station in your view. By clicking in it, you can see all the different central stations your user account has access to and navigate to them.
Tip: This selector also provides a quick overview of the total number of devices connected to each central station.
Variables
Depending on the types of sensors in your fleet, the variables in the column on the left may vary. You can toggle viewing these variables by clicking on them. The green squares at the center of your view represent each individual sensor in your fleet and their corresponding readings.
Sensor Grid
Each sensor in your fleet is represented in the app as a green tile. This grid of squares is referred to as the "Nodes Map". The numbers of sensors displayed horizontally and vertically can be altered in the configuration menu (see section Configuration in this article for more information). Depending on which variables are activated in the column on the left, the most current readings are displayed for each sensor.
From this grid, you have a quick overview if any sensors are offline or not communcating with your central station.
In the example below, Sensor 44562 (Row 3) has a red status. The last successful message this sensor sent to the central station was 3 months ago. The air temperature readings currently displayed is from this last successful message 3 months ago.
Rearrange the order of your sensor grid
It is also possible to alter the individual order of the sensor grid. To do this, click on the padlock on the top right corner just under the logout option.
Once clicking the padlock, directions in an orange block will appear in the upper right-hand of your screen (see recording to the right). Select the sensor you want to move and then click the area you want to move it to. Repeat these steps for each sensor you want to move.

If you change your mind and don't want to move the order of any sensors, simply click on the padlock again and the option will be cancelled.
Manage indiviual sensors
By clicking on a sensor tile, the sensor dashboard pops up that displays the following:
- Most recent readings of the sensor
- Node name - where you can rename your sensor
- Enabling/disabling alerts
- Hide visibility
2. Charts page
The charts page allows you to visualise the data of your sensors. Select your desired sensors from the column on the left and the corresponding variables to display from the list at the top of your view (See example image below).
Above the variable selection, you have the option to view your data for a period of 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month. The time interval displayed is based on your current viewing session. If you would like to select a more custom timeframe, please see the next section Customise your chart views .
Fig. Example of Charts View
Customise your Chart Views
For more custom views of your charts, click on the magnifying lens at the upper right of your screen.
The chart configuration menu will appear where you can adjust the scale for the x and y axis. By default "automatic" is checked meaning the axis will automatically be scaled to the minimum and maximum values of the variable you selected to display. You can either leave this, or unselect and input your desired minimum and maximum values for that axis.
Useful Tip: From this menu you can also select more precise time intervals you would like to display instead of the day, week, month option that is generated based on your current viewing session.
Downloading your charts
Once you have configured your chart, it is also possible to export it. Click on the export chart data button at the bottom right of the chart. We provide two options:
- Export data currently visualised in the chart as a CSV
- Export as PNG in order to also export the visual aspect of the chart.

3. Timelapse page
This menu is available to customers with a thermal camera.
This section of the article is under development. Stay tuned!
4. Stomata cameras page
This menu is available to customers with a thermal camera.
This section of the article is under development. Stay tuned!
5. Readings page
See the most recent readings for all variables for all sensors paired to the selected central station in a table view. This is per location/ central station, therefore if you have several locations or central stations, you can toggle to the location you would like to see readings for at the top left of your screen .
6. Downloading Data
In addition to downloading data from charts mentioned above in the Charts section, you can directly export the readings of your sensors as a CSV. The button to export data is located in the top right of your screen and is available in the Nodes Map, Charts, and Timelapse pages. (See CSV Export arrow in the image below).
Fig. Download Menu
When exporting, you have control over:
- Selecting the date range of data to export
- Selecting specific sensors
- Selecting specific variables
Tip: Want to download large time intervals? This may take some time. Check the delivery option and the download link will be emailed to the user once it is complete. This way you can continue using the app while the export is generated.
Additional Options:
- Aggregate
- Fill missing values
- Data delivery
This option will cluster the sensor readings to unified sampling times of 5, 10, 20, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 6 hours
This option ensures each sensor reading is present at every sampling interval
Once the CSV is generated, it can be downloaded directly within the app, or a download link can be sent to the email of the user
7. Configuration page
To access your settings, click on the gear icon in the top right of your screen. This icon is available in the Nodes Map, Charts, and Timelapse pages (highlighted in the image below).
Fig. Configuration Icon
From the configuration menu you can
- Set your timezone
- Rename your central station
- Alter the grid size in the nodes map page
- Set alerts for sensors going offline
- Set alerts for minimum and maximum thresholds sensor readings
- Generate your API key
Alter Nodes Map Size
You can alter the setup of your Nodes Map in this configuration menu. Scrolling down to "Node Map Size", you can set how you would like your green sensor grid to take shape (See video below).
The first number denotes how many across (horizontal) and the second how many down (vertical). The horizontal value must be a number between 1 and 10.

Setting Alerts for your Account
Within the configuration menu, it is also possible to set alerts for when sensors go offline or for specific variable values.
For more details on how to set these alerts, please see our article "Setting Alerts in the App".
