FAQs:

What can I expect to see on the dashboard for my controller?

• The dashboard shows the details of your facility operations. This includes live sensor data, current operational modes of all of your equipment, facility power consumption, local forecast, a page for recipe development, and links to your fertigation controls (if applicable).

Who owns the data that the SunSense™ collects?

• The customer owns their data forever. However, we do require access to it for facility optimization. Data sets will not be shared with or viewed by other customers.

Where is the data stored?

• Data is stored on-site and on a server in our office accessible by the cloud at any time. This will protect from loss of data.

Who has access to my controller data?

• The controller dashboard allows the owner to set levels of access to employees, so you control who sees your data.
