1. Map page

When you log in to Sigrow App via your desktop or mobile, your dashboard will look like the image below (Figure 1). We refer to this page as the Map page.

TIP: This selector also provides a quick overview of the total number of sensors connected to each central station.

1.1 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 white rectangles represent each individual sensor in your fleet and their corresponding readings. The sensor ID is displayed on the row above the sensor name row.

After pressing on the sensor tile, a sensor information table will appear. It will display the most recent readings of all variables. In this section, you may modify the sensor's name, as well as turning on/off the sensor’s alerts. See Figure 2.

1.2 Sensor Grid

Each sensors in your fleet is represented as a white tile in the app. This grid of squares is referred to as the “Map”. The number of sensors displayed horizontally and vertically can be altered in the configuration menu ( See Configuration). Depending on which variables are activated in the column on the left, the most current readings are displayed for each sensor.

In this grid, you have a quick overview if any sensors are offline and not communicating with your central station. In Figure 3, Sensor Net Radiometer+ 56991 has a red status. The last successful message this sensors sent tot the central station was a month ago. The air temperature readings currently displayed is from this last successful message a month ago.

1.3 Rearrange the order of sensor grid

It is possible to rearrange the individual order of your sensors grid. To do this, click on the Sort button on the bottom right conner.

There 4 different possible ways to sort the sensors in your grid:

• Device Name
• Device ID
• Last message
• Custom

The Custom Sort allows you to arrange the sensors in a personalized way. On a Sort panel, you will be able to pick and drag a sensor to any position. As a result, you will be able to see an immediate change on the Map view. In video 2 you will see how to sort sensors with Custom sorting.

1.4 Managing individual sensors

2. Charts Page

The charts page allows you to visualize the data of your sensors. Select the sensors from the column on the left and the corresponding variables to display from the list at the top of your view. This is illustrated in Figure 4.

On the chart map, 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 read the next section.

2.1 Customize your Chart Views

For more custom views of your charts, click on the calendar sign at the top left corner of your chart, and then “Select data range”. The calendar menu will appear where you can select the time frame you wish to see the data for. See Video 4.

There is also a possibility to zoom in your data. By selecting a certain part of your charts, you will be able to zoom in into that precise square of charts. In order to go back to the original size, select the magnifying glass at the top left corner of the charts. See Video 4.

2.2 Favorite Dashboard

You may now save your customised dashboards. On the charts, click the star icon in the lower right corner. The Dashboard Configurations table will appear. Here you can name your current dashboard and save it. By using a single button you can return to set dashboard.

By pressing the three dots next to your saved dashboard, you can remove it once it is no longer needed.

See Video 5.

2.3 Downloading your charts

Once you configured your chart, it is also possible to export it. Click on the export chart data button at the bottom right corner of the app. You can export data visualized in a chart as a CSV file.

You can find more information about downloading data at Downloading Data.

2.4 Min-Max Variable Threshold

Set the minimum and maximum values for each variable on the configuration page. Any device readings outside this boundary will be colored BLUE, if lower than your minimum value. RED if higher then your maximum value.

How to set the variable threshold

Navigate to the configuration page ( ⚙️ icon at top right on desktop)

Under Sensor readings alerts set the min and max values for each variable. They will act as a threshold in the chart’s graph.

3. Stomata Camera

In Video 6 there is a visual representation on how to view your camera points in a chart.

Cameras now show high-resolution pictures. You can follow the images by dragging the mouse along the chart graph. The camera images now load faster, providing you with a better experience.

You can adjust the camera points by pressing the pencil icon above the camera image. You can also rename and reposition any camera point. Camera points editing is shown in Video 7.

3.1 Camera image download

We have introduced a new feature: camera image download. You can now download your camera pictures. Press the download icon at the bottom right of the camera images.

3.2 Flower Recognition

We are currently offering our smart flower recognition software. This software provides numerous advantages:

• Optimum flower quality: The software continuously analyses your flowers and gives you real-time insights into optimal growing conditions. This allows you to intervene when necessary and maximize the quality of your flowers.
• Saving energy: By creating optimal growing conditions, you save energy. This benefits both the environment and your wallet.
• Easy to use: The software is user-friendly and requires no special IT knowledge.

It will soon also be available for tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers.

To enable flower recognition view, toggle the camera point to "Flowers".

Also, select the "Cam Temp" and "Cam VPD" variables. This will allow you to see the flowers detected in your camera images.

As you can see from the Figure 8, the flower recognition software is able to detect and indicate flowers in your camera image view. Red circles would represent flowers that were found.

4. Table Page

See the most recent readings for all variables of 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 right of your screen.

If you have determined the minimum and maximum values for a variable (See How to set the variable threshold), they will be indicated in this page as well. If the value will fall below your set minimum value, the square will be set to blue background. If the value will exceed the maximum value, the square will be red. See Figure 9.

You can also sort any column in ascending or descending order. This would sort the sensors by their indicated value. Just press on the heading of the column and the sensors will be sorted in an ascending order. Press it again, and the sensors will be sorted in a descending order. Sorting example is shown in Video 8.

5. Downloading Data

In addition to downloading data from charts mentioned above in the Charts section, you can directly export the readings from your sensors into a CSV file. The button to export data is located in the bottom right corner of your screen.

When exporting, you can select:

• The date range of data to export
• Specific sensors
• Specific variables
• Specific camera points
• Synchronization period (this option will cluster the sensor readings to unified sampling times of 5, 30 minutes or 1 hour)
• If you want to fill missing values (each sensor reading will be present at every sampling interval)

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.

6. Configuration Page

To access your settings, click on the the gear icon at the top right of your screen. This icon is available in every page of the app. See Figure 11.

From the configuration menu you can:

• Select the language for the App. You can pick between three different languages: English, Dutch and Spanish.
• Set your timezone. The timezone will only be specific for that location. Therefore, you can set different timezones for different locations to account for time difference.
• Give your location a name. You can rename your location be able identify them easier.
• Set alerts for when the sensor goes offline.
• Set alerts for sensor status warnings.
• Generate your API key.

6.1 Sensor reading alerts

You can subscribe to reading alert notifications. If any of your sensors within the current installation report a reading that isn't within the minimum or maximum range, you will be notified via your selected channel (email, SMS). It is also possible to set only a minimum or maximum value.
