Mount the control system
Mains power supply for heated greenhouses
If your mini-greenhouse is heated, with a mains power supply, mount the power supply
underneath the control box, to the rear panel. Run the cables behind the shelves
(between the shelf and the rear panel), down the ground where the mains cable goes
out via the notch in the timber base board.
We recommend using some short self-tapping screws to mount the power supply to
the backboard. Ensure the screw tips are safely protected and cannot scratch anyone
behind the greenhouse.
Solar panel for off grid greenhouses
If your greenhouse is solar powered, run the solar panel cable through the hole in the
rear panel and plug it into the control box. Mount the solar panel to something solid
close to your greenhouse.
If you don’t have anywhere suitable, you can place the solar panel on the lid of the unit;
secure it down with strong double sided tape.
Once you’re happy that the control unit
connects to WiFi indoors near your WiFi
router, you can install it into your Harvst
mini-greenhouse.
At the top right of the rear panels you’ll
see four holes. Use the M5 x 20mm bolts
and nuts to fix the control unit to the
rear panels.
This will be easiest if you prop the lid
open, so you can reach the inside and
outside at the same time.
