The TrolMaster MBS-WS is a 4-in-1 outdoor weather station sensor designed specifically for the GCS-1 Green-X greenhouse control system. It combines outdoor temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and rainfall detection in a single unit and sends real-time weather data to the GCS-1 over an RS485 digital bus. This allows the greenhouse controller to respond automatically to changing outdoor conditions—for example, closing curtains, vents, or other motorized greenhouse systems when wind or rainfall exceeds configured thresholds.

Key Advantage: The MBS-WS gives the GCS-1 direct, real-time outdoor weather awareness, allowing a greenhouse to react automatically to wind and rain instead of relying on manual monitoring or external weather forecasts. This is especially useful for automated curtains, vents, roll-up sides, and other weather-sensitive greenhouse systems.
