Room simulator

Find out before you buy it.

A first-order physical model of a grow room — two thermal masses, a vapour balance and a CO2 balance — driven by the same control logic that runs on the board. Three weeks of a crop computes in about a second, which is the point: nobody can tune a controller on live mushrooms, because the answer arrives four flushes late.

What it will tell you

  • Whether your fogger can hold the band once ventilation is running — the commonest way a first room fails, and it is invisible until the crop is in.
  • Whether your compressor is short-cycling, and whether that means it is too small or too large. Those need opposite fixes and look identical on a relay.
  • How long the room takes to move between stages, so a venting schedule is planned around hours rather than assumed to be instant.
  • What the crop costs in litres of water and units of electricity.

A well-mixed room with no gradients, no stratification and no dead corner behind the shelving — which is where contamination actually starts. It models the room you would have with a circulation fan running. Treat the output as a sizing check, not a prediction.

A layer is “answering” only when it has data behind it — not when its file happens to be loaded. A capability that leads to an empty screen is a bug report waiting to happen.
