Anden by Aprilaire Wi-Fi IAQ Thermostat for Grow Rooms
The AprilAire 8840 Automation Thermostat (Anden by Aprilaire) is a universal, Wi-Fi enabled controller that unifies climate management—temperature, humidity, ventilation, and air quality—through an easy-to-read 7" HD color touchscreen. Designed for professional cultivation spaces, it pairs with humidifiers, whole-home or commercial dehumidifiers, and external sensors (one included) to maintain consistent VPD-friendly conditions. SmartIAQ automation brings event-based air cleaning, automatic ventilation, and a rapid “Heat Blast” mode to stabilize the environment after door openings or lights-off transitions. For multi-stage systems, the universal design supports 3H/3C or 4H/2C heat pumps, coordinating fans, heaters, and air movers without complicated add-ons. Built for grow room reliability, it helps reduce energy costs, protect equipment, and maintain repeatable results.
How It Helps Growers
By integrating temperature, humidity, and fresh-air strategies, this IAQ thermostat minimizes swings that stress plants and impact yield. It works seamlessly with dehumidifiers, humidifiers, and ventilation to hit your daily setpoints, improve airflow, and automate recovery after environmental disturbances.
