The VIVOSUN GrowHub may be the future of indoor growing

By

When most people think of smart home tech, they likely imagine things like smart speakers, streaming devices, and maybe even internet-connected appliances. Yet one often-overlooked area that has also seen some innovation thanks to the smart home revolution is the hobby of indoor growing. And contrary to what you might think, technology doesn’t make indoor growing more complicated or difficult for the uninitiated — in fact, smart systems like the new VIVOSUN GrowHub with AeroLight allow you to fully automate the indoor growing process, making it easier and more accessible than ever. As of May 20, Digital Trends readers get an exclusive 12% off discount when using coupon code DTVS12 at checkout.

The VIVOSUN GrowHub with AeroLight is the first completely automated indoor growing system. At the heart of the setup is the AeroLight, a fully integrated LED grow light combined with a circulation fan. The LED light is full-spectrum and programmable, meaning it allows you to schedule cyclical light changes to simulate dawn and sunset and different natural environments. It also has pre-programmed settings designed for every stage of your crops’ growth cycles, from seed to flower.

The AeroLight’s built-in circulation fan is designed to strike an ideal balance between airflow, CO2 exposure, and humidity to create the optimal growing environment and keep mold at bay. A unique heatsink configuration and dual ball-bearing fan design are both durable and quiet, with the AeroLight being rated for around 70,000 hours of operation. Extension brackets allow you to easily expand your grow setup with additional AeroLights without having to change settings.

All of this is controlled with the GrowHub, the first Wi-Fi-enabled indoor growing controller on the market. With the GrowHub, you can control light intensity, spectrum, temperature, fan speed, airflow, and humidity inside your grow tent to create the perfect ecosystem for your crops to thrive during every stage of growth. What’s more, you can schedule and automate the entire process for an easy and worry-free growing process. No more having to babysit your plants or constantly fiddle with individual pieces of equipment. The GrowHub Controller also logs all environmental changes so you can monitor the environment and the health of your crops and make any adjustments as needed.

You can mount the GrowHub Controller anywhere inside the tent and control everything with it, but thanks to the VIVOSUN mobile app, you don’t have to open the tent at all in order to manage your setup. The intuitive and easy-to-use VIVOSUN app interface puts you in command of all of the features and functions of the GrowHub and AeroLight indoor growing system (light, temperature, airflow, ventilation, humidity, etc.), allowing you to monitor and control everything from anywhere.

The VIVOSUN app will also notify you of any notable changes in the growing environment, and you can even program instructions to deal with any changes that occur. For instance, if the humidity exceeds a certain level, you can program the AeroLight to automatically bring it back down to your desired level, to name just one possibility of many. All of the historical data that the GrowHub Controller collects is uploaded to your app as well, with no storage or access limits.

The VIVOSUN GrowHub indoor smart growing system is the first of its kind, and it’s launching on Wednesday, April 20 (naturally). Whether you’re new to the world of indoor growing and are looking for a beginner-friendly setup, or you’re already a seasoned home grower looking to upgrade and automate your process, the VIVOSUN GrowHub with AeroLight is a great growing system for users of any experience level.

The AeroLight and Grow Hub are $299, with an early bird price of $249, saving you $50. Meanwhile, the full package with the AeroLight, Grow Hub and AeroZesh 6-inches is $409, and has an early bird price of $339, saving you $70. Those excellent discounts won’t last long so take advantage while you can! From May 20, Digital Trends readers can also take advantage of an exclusive 12% off discount when using coupon code DTVS12 at checkout.

Get total protection with Trend Micro Premium Security Suite
trend micro premium security suite deal lifestyle

Almost everything we do today is connected to the internet, from our cars to our televisions. The recent increase in remote work and study has only added to our dependence on the web, but students and professionals aren't the only ones who have been busy online -- cybercriminals and other bad actors have also taken full advantage of the fruits of our digital age, and it's more important than ever to take steps to protect yourself and your family from today's threats. Thankfully, you don't have to hire a professional or shell out a small fortune to get a comprehensive software solution: Trend Micro's Premium Security Suite does it all for you, and for a limited time, you can sign up and grab a one-year subscription for more than 50% off.

Trend Micro has a pretty wide umbrella of security apps, and its Premium Security Suite is the company's most comprehensive package.

Working From Home

This content was produced in partnership with ONLYOFFICE.
Whether you work and collaborate with your colleagues from home, run a small business, or manage a team of employees (or maybe you do some combination of those), having good collaborative software is vital -- and in many cases, free apps like Google Docs don't cut it. ONLYOFFICE is a more comprehensive cloud-based office productivity suite used by millions around the globe. And for a limited time, Digital Trends readers can sign up for the Business plan at a 20% discount. Here's what you need to know about ONLYOFFICE, including its new OFORMs feature, and what it can do for you.

Cloud-based software is hardly new. Google almost single-handedly revolutionized how people work and collaborate online when it released Google Docs and Google Drive, but as the world has grown increasingly digitized and internet-connected -- especially in the past two years -- these rather simple free apps haven't quite kept up with the growing needs of professionals and small businesses.

ONLYOFFICE provides a more complete and full-featured cloud-based app suite and is a great alternative to Google Docs and even to paid software with online features, such as Microsoft Office. In a nutshell, it’s an open-source office package for text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and fillable forms. With ONLYOFFICE, you can easily create a collaborative cloud environment for a team of any size or create a virtual workspace on-premises by integrating the editors with a document management system or file-sharing platform. The list of available integration options includes such well-known solutions as SharePoint, Nextcloud, ownCloud, Redmine, Alfresco, Confluence, Nuxeo, Moodle, and so on.

If you want better audio for your TV, you should take advantage of soundbar deals, and if you want an alternate smart TV interface, you may consider getting a streaming device. This doesn't have to be two separate purchases though, as you can go for the Roku Streambar SE. It's an even better choice right now because it's on sale at Amazon and Walmart with a $23 and at Best Buy with a $20 discount. That means you could buy it for as cheap as $77, from $100 originally. We're not sure how much time is remaining on this bargain though, so you better act fast if you want to pocket the savings.

Why you should buy the Roku Streambar SE
You would expect to see Roku in roundups of the best streaming devices, but the Roku Streambar SE is more than that. It's a smaller version of the Roku Streambar, which is featured in our lists of the best Roku devices as the best Roku player for enhanced sound, and the best soundbars under $500 as the best small soundbar under $200. In addition to providing access to all of the popular streaming services, the Roku Streambar SE enables better audio for your TV with its two premium speakers and dedicated bass port. You'll also enjoy enhanced speech clarity so you won't have trouble understanding onscreen conversations.
