It’s more then 10 pulses that working for me and I can’t imagine setting up a place without Pulse
Great Accuracy, but Room for Improvement in App Performance
The Pulse Pro Meter is an excellent tool with impressive accuracy, making it a valuable asset for precise measurements. However, I do feel that the app experience could be smoother and more responsive. The calendar function for data logging seems a bit glitchy, which can make tracking measurements less seamless than it should be.
Additionally, taking PAR measurements requires holding the meter at canopy level for an extended period while simultaneously managing the phone and app. It would be great if readings were processed more instantly to improve ease of use. Another small but practical improvement would be the addition of a clip or mechanism to secure the power cable, allowing the meter to remain suspended without unnecessary movement.
Overall, the device itself delivers on accuracy, but refining the app’s functionality and incorporating minor hardware adjustments could elevate the user experience significantly.
This tiny Pulse is awesome! It’s the most reliable sensor I’ve tried. It’s very user friendly and its compactness makes it easy to move around. Highly recommend!
The retrofit kit was super easy to install, and we are up and running. Thanks Pulse, appreciate the speedy shipping and great customer service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Got the hub, 2 TDR soil sensors, the environmental sensor, and pH/EC sensors for the reservoir. Also the OpenSprinkler (havent had a chance to play with this yet). Everything has been flawless so far, sensors hold calibration, the app has a good UI and has not crashed once or had errors. Setup was a breeze and at 1/3-1/2 the cost of some other systems, (with significantly less wires as well!) the value is great. I am using it for one zone atm but hope to expand and hope to see additional functions built in like light controls!
A functional stomata is crucial and growing. This chart will put you in the right spot. Just remember the temperature on the guide is leaf surface temperature not room temp.
Just over two weeks of use, it confirmed many things. Accuracy was off on my other sensors and showed me no matter how many times I re-calibrated my AC Infinity controller and sensors setting it would be off constantly in different humidity ranges as much as 5% - 10% hours within calibration. Glad I purchased my Zero
I'm just using the Pulse Pro. I'm going to install the zero in my lung room. I depend on the PP for accuracy in temps and humidity. I also like the PAR function. I get updates as soon as the environment changes. I love the data functionality that helps dial in the growing devices.
I recently picked up a Vivosun VGrow and was having some very serious issues with the temperature and humidity sensor that the box comes with. After doing a TON of research I picked up the Pulse Zero and I’m so, so glad I did! The VGrow’s sensor is far too sensitive to the lights hitting it, meaning that every time the lights cycle on or off it thinks the temperature has dropped or raised a LOT in an extremely short amount of time. This throws the box into chaos as it attempts to deal with these crazy temperature swings, which aren’t actually happening. Yes, the temperature does change when the lights cycle, but it’s a very gradual shift, taking roughly 30 minutes. I know this now thanks to the Pulse Zero. Because it showed me that the climate change in the box was far slower and less extreme than what the VGrow shows. What this means is that, twice a day, I have to check the Pulse settings and then adjust the settings in the VGrow to stop the cascading effect of the sensor telling the box’s Ai that it needs to make a bunch of adjustments to deal with what the internal sensor is saying. This is a headache to deal with every day, but at least I know what the actual climate readings are in the box now. It would be great if Pulse and Vivosun could make it so we could integrate the Pulse sensor line into the VGrow box to get truly accurate and reliable climate data.
Excellent product right out of the box. Directions were extremely clear, set up only took about ten minutes to have accurate readings in rockwool. John, provided excellent service throughout the order process and very quick to reply. I would recommend this over other meters. Pulse has earned my money going forward.
Honestly has been a GAME CHANGER! I have had pulse since its first release with the pulse one and it’s only gotten better with time. With the Pulse Pro i now have additional inputs on CO2 and DLI and the initial readings for VPD have taken my grows to such new heights and helped me understand what’s going on my grow and when. On top of that there is the incredible customer support than has never fallen short of pure excellence and has far exceeded any other company in that regard. Thank you PULSE!
You need your grow environment stable and en pointe. Pulse will get you there.
I am going to use the Zero to monitor my small lung room. So will need another Pulse One to run second tent. App downloads worked seamlessly, and I am a very happy customer. Thanks.
Now that I have the pulse zero I can quickly see what is up in my grow space and that gor me is priceless thanks pulse 🤝
super easy to set up and so easy to read , and so nice to be able to sit on your couch or be at the movies and know excatly whats happing in my grow
I am an automation expert. I develop embedded systems, and I have a passion for monitoring and automating everything. I make my own devices AAND I buy other people's designs when they are interesting because they may have 100 people writing software and I am just me, so even those of us that can make our own can see value in spending money to buy someone else's efforts.
I have every sensor you can think of already, many are different brands and models so I can compare and contrast the readings. The pulse zero doesn't have anything I don't already have except one thing, the app. AND to get all of these sensor types running will cost more than a pulse zero if you put any value on your time. If you calculate the value based on the cost of my time, Pulse has paid me at least a few thousand dollars in value by letting me buy from them. The math isn't hard, but you should do your own.
When I want to check on things, the pulse app puts it all in one screen. Sure I can check all of my other sensors, but the pulse is like an executive summary with a detailed histogram all on one screen for rapid information uptake.
If you have everything already, you will find this useful. If you have nothing and need a starting point, you will find this invaluable.
And there is a lot of value in having the VPD math done for you, you can't go by humidity alone.
And the whole room needs tuning as the grow progresses... A roomful of young plants has completely different needs than a room with several plants nearing harvest. Keeping the VPD in balance is easier when you have a histogram to tell you not just how it is now, but how it was for hours days and weeks... VPD changes constantly as your systems do their jobs, being able to see the full range of your grow over time helps you understand the simple things you can do to influence the conditions.
Why you might not buy a pulse zero? Because you buy the other pulse products instead? Need more sensors? PH co2? Pulse has those too for the more sophisticated grower.
Got my eye on that continuous ph meter when I upgrade from central distribution dwc to chilled/circulated dwc... I need to figure out how to grab the ph and use it to titrate from automated up/down dispensers... Then there is the EC probe, don't wait for the plants to start calling you Seymore. There is always something else to automate.
