A smart grow light is a connected lighting system that integrates its light engine with sensors, processors, and network interfaces to implement sophisticated horticulture lighting techniques. A grow light is designed to provide an adequate amount of spectrally optimized light that can drive photosynthetic, photomorphogenic, photoperiodic, and other biological processes in plants to achieve optimal crop production. Smart grow lights are often engineered for commercial greenhouses and controlled environment agriculture (CEA) facilities where growers are able to have more control over the cultivation environments. Indoor horticulture not only makes control or elimination of insectile, fungal or bacterial pests more effective because of the closed environment, but also promises precise supervision of the key parameters such as light, temperature, humidity, water quality, CO2 concentration, irrigation, and fertilization. Growing plants under controlled conditions provide practical opportunities to maximize plant productivity and consistency in environments and at times when outdoor growth would be impractical.
