The world’s first smart farm, built on UniFi.
Smart Farm Monitor reads live temperature, humidity and light from Ubiquiti’s UniFi SuperLink sensors placed across your land — and turns those raw readings into frost warnings, disease alerts, water-stress signals and season-long growth intelligence, tuned to the exact crop growing at each location.

Why it exists
Farming by the calendar is farming blind.
Crops don’t develop on dates — they develop on accumulated warmth. A mild spring can pull budburst forward by two or three weeks; a cold one can hold it back just as long. Time your sprays, thinning or harvest crews by the calendar alone and you’re guessing where the crop actually is.
Smart Farm Monitor measures what each block genuinely experiences, sensor by sensor, and converts it into the numbers that matter: how much heat has accumulated, when disease conditions are building, whether the vines are under water stress, and exactly when frost is about to settle.
It tells you what your field needs — before you’d ever see it for yourself.
How it works
From a sensor in the soil to an alert on your phone.
Sense
UniFi SuperLink sensors log temperature, humidity and light across every block — a fresh reading every five minutes, day and night.
Store
Readings stream to a self-hosted server and SQL database: a rolling three-day record at five-minute detail, plus a rolling two-year archive.
Analyse
Predictive models turn raw data into degree-days, disease pressure, water stress and frost risk — calibrated to the crop profile at each location.
Alert
The moment a threshold is crossed, a push notification lands on your phone. Each alert type is tracked separately, per sensor.
What it watches
Eight kinds of intelligence from three simple readings.
Frost, before it bites
Flags true radiation frost only when air temperature and dew point fall to the crop’s threshold together — the real signature of frost forming, not a false alarm.
Growing Degree Days
Tracks accumulated heat per block since the start of the season, so you know whether the crop is biologically ahead of or behind the calendar.
Phenology, predicted
Set milestones like budburst, flowering and harvest. Progress bars fill as heat accumulates, and each shows a predicted date with a confidence rating.
Disease pressure
A leading indicator that counts the hours of warm, humid, infection-favourable conditions — warning you before mildew or botrytis ever shows.
Water stress (VPD)
Measures how hard the air is pulling moisture from the plant, so you can irrigate young or vulnerable plantings exactly when they need it.
Winter chill hours
Counts dormancy chilling through the cold months — the cold that perennial fruit needs for an even, reliable budburst come spring.
Signal & offline watch
Detects a stalled or disconnected sensor the moment its readings stop changing — closing data gaps before they appear in your charts.
Push alerts
Five alert types — frost, disease, water stress, sensor offline and data-feed failure — delivered instantly to your phone, each tracked per sensor.
One screen for the whole farm.
Live status cards, a satellite farm map, heat-accumulation charts and growth-stage tracking — all in a single browser tab, on any device.
The technology
Enterprise hardware. No farm lock-in.
Most precision-agriculture kit means proprietary sensors, a per-device subscription and a cloud you can never leave. Smart Farm Monitor takes a different route entirely — it’s built on the same enterprise-grade UniFi platform trusted across thousands of sites worldwide.
The sensors are off-the-shelf hardware you can buy and add to at will. The data is yours, stored on your own server. And the system scales effortlessly — from a single polytunnel to an entire estate.
- [✓]Off-the-shelf sensors — standard UniFi SuperLink hardware, no bespoke agricultural devices to source or service.
- [✓]You own your data — readings live on your own server and SQL database, exportable any time to CSV, JSON or spreadsheet.
- [✓]No subscription per sensor — built on infrastructure you already control, not a recurring per-device fee.
- [✓]Scales with the farm — add zones and crops as you grow; every sensor gets its own crop-specific thresholds.
- [✓]Proven in the field — built and refined on a working English vineyard through real growing seasons.
Any crop. Anywhere you can place a sensor.
Smart Farm Monitor was built and proven on a working vineyard — but the same platform monitors orchards, polytunnels, soft fruit and arable blocks just as readily. If you can place a UniFi sensor, you can read your field as data.
