Smart CO₂ + Light Sensor for AI Controllers – Precise Climate Automation in Your Grow
Our state-of-the-art CO₂ + Light Sensor is specifically designed for use with AI controllers and utilizes **AI-powered learning** to optimally control the climate in your grow environment. Combine it with AC Infinity CLOUDLINE fans and let your grow controller automatically regulate CO₂ and fresh air intake – for powerful photosynthesis, less stress, and healthier plants. All sensor data can be read in real-time via the AC Infinity App.
Key Benefits at a Glance
- Automatic climate control: The AI controller uses CO₂ data for dynamic ventilation and FAE (Fresh Air Exchange)
- Optimal CO₂ concentration – increased plant growth through intelligent CO₂ regulation
- Real-time monitoring in the app: Temperature, humidity, CO₂, and light intensity at a glance
- Seamless integration into the AC Infinity Ecosystem – synergizes with other components
- High measurement range and accuracy: ideal for professional grow racks, grow tents, or climate-controlled rooms

Tips & Tricks for Perfect Use
-
Pay attention to positioning: Mount the sensor near the leaves, but not directly in the airflow of the inlet or outlet – this ensures representative CO₂ readings.
-
Regularly check calibration: Ensure the sensor is periodically checked in fresh air (~400 ppm ambient air) to avoid drift.
-
Utilize lighting synchronization: Use light data to adapt CO₂ control to day/night cycles – this avoids unnecessary CO₂ supply during dark phases.
-
Optimize air circulation: Good air circulation in the grow room helps distribute CO₂ evenly and avoid hot spots.
-
Use delay functions: Many AI controllers offer delay or threshold settings – use these wisely to avoid constant switching on and off.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Does the sensor also work without an AI controller?
Answer: No, the sensor is designed for the control logic of an AI controller. Without a connection, it remains passive and provides data, but cannot regulate independently.
Question: How often should I calibrate the sensor?
Answer: We recommend a visual inspection once per grow cycle and calibration (in ambient air) every 3–6 months.
Question: Can I use the sensor in high humidity?
Answer: Yes, the sensor can operate reliably in the range of 35% to 60% relative humidity. Beyond that, you should watch out for condensation.
Question: How long is the cable, and can I extend it?
Answer: The cable is 365.8 cm long. Extension is possible, but pay attention to shielding and signal quality – Cat5e or AWG cables are recommended.
Question: Which CO₂ values should I set?
Answer: In the vegetative phase, 800–1,200 ppm are often ideal, in the flowering phase 1,200–1,500 ppm – depending on light output, temperature, and nutrient supply.

Why this sensor in particular?
Compared to conventional CO₂ sensors, this model offers adaptive control through AI-powered learning algorithms – similar to AC Infinity's controller bundles, which also rely on intelligent climate adaptation. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} The combination of a wide measuring range (0–40,000 ppm), high accuracy, and fast response time gives you more flexibility and control compared to sensors with rigidly defined performance limits.
