Aprilaire 8820 Touchscreen Wi-Fi Thermostat for IAQ Control
The Aprilaire 8820 is a smart, Internet-connected thermostat that unifies temperature, humidity, air purity, and fresh air control to stabilize your grow environment. Progressive Recovery pre-conditions your space before programmed events, while Heat Blast rapidly elevates temperature when needed. Integrated IAQ functions include event-based air cleaning and programmable fan circulation, plus built-in humidifier and dehumidifier control (auto or manual) to protect plant health and equipment. Compatible remote sensors (sold separately) extend accurate monitoring to canopy or lung-room locations. The mobile app with Smart Wi-Fi Alerts enables real-time oversight and adjustments from anywhere, helping reduce swings that cost yield. Ideal for growers seeking a grow room controller that centralizes climate, streamlines routines, and improves consistency 24/7/365.
How This IAQ Thermostat Helps Growers
By combining temperature controller, humidity controller, and ventilation functions in one hub, the 8820 simplifies daily workflows and reduces manual checks. Programmable schedules (7-day, up to four events/day) keep VPD-friendly conditions on track, while alerts help you react fast to drift. Use it to automate fresh-air ventilation, trigger event-based air cleaning, and coordinate HVAC equipment for cleaner air and steadier crops.
