- Automatic ventilation for greenhouses
The right climate in the greenhouse = happy plants and a happy gardener
Automatic ventilation keeps fresh air moving through the greenhouse and so creates the ideal climate for your plants. And when a gale, heavy rain or hail is on the way, the smart control system closes the windows by itself.

Automatic ventilation for greenhouses - professionals and hobby A handy helper that gives you time back
Smart ventilation frees up your hands, whether you have a single greenhouse behind the house or look after a large nursery. You can set up the greenhouse ventilation zone by zone or as a whole, and control it by hand or leave it entirely to itself. That leaves you free for something else. We know there is always something to do around plants.

Automatic ventilation for greenhouses - Loxone and FK servis Greenhouse ventilation as an extension of the Loxone system
We add automatic window ventilation to the popular Loxone solution. The brain of the system remains the Miniserver, which collects the data and runs everything according to the scenarios you set. Loxone also provides the comfort sensor and the Tree bus (they measure temperature, relative humidity and CO2 concentration, open or close a window, start the irrigation or send an alert to your phone). We supply the right drives to operate the windows.

FK servis Automatic ventilation for greenhouses - sample system diagram How could it look and work at your place?
The central brain will be a control unit. You can have a simple basic set-up, a fully programmable solution or anything in between.
Sensors for CO2, wind and rain detectors, thermostats and ventilation buttons are the eyes and ears of the whole system.
Opening, closing and locking every type of window is handled by electric drives and locks.
So that no question is left unanswered
How is the whole system controlled?
The system is controlled by the Miniserver (Loxone), which responds to temperature, humidity, CO₂, rain and wind. You can control the ventilation manually or set up automatic scenarios – e.g. opening the windows when the temperature exceeds a limit, or closing them before rain. All conveniently, both remotely and automatically.
Do I have to clear out the greenhouse for the smart ventilation to be installed?
No. We can carry out the installation during normal operation – we arrive, connect the cables and fit the drives and sensors. We tidy up after ourselves and test everything so that you can carry on working straight away.
Does the solution work in old greenhouses too?
Yes. We adapt the solution to new and historic structures alike. We design suitable drives, sensors and fixings so that the ventilation works even in non-standard or older greenhouses without compromising the structure.
Can I prepare or install the system myself?
If you have the technical skills, we will gladly provide you with an installation diagram and a technical manual. Otherwise we will take care of the installation – we install everything, test it, walk you through it and leave the place clean and fully working.
Roughly how much will it cost and what does the price include?
The price depends on the size of the greenhouse, the number of windows and sensors, the Loxone interfaces and so on. It includes the design, the selection of components, installation, commissioning and training. We will prepare a specific quote in which everything is itemised transparently.
Does the solution require long-term maintenance?
The components are chosen to be as durable as possible and maintenance-free. We do, however, recommend regular inspections (e.g. once a year), which we can take care of – that way the system serves flawlessly for decades.
How long does a project take from the first inquiry to commissioning?
A typical project runs as follows:
- 1–7 days: gathering the documents or a site visit
- 2–5 days: preparing the quote and the technical design
- 14-21 days for delivery of the components
- 1–2 days: installation and commissioning
All in all, that usually means 4–6 weeks – depending on the scope, the availability of materials and the schedule.
We take care of everything. Reliably, quickly and with your plants in mind

We collect the details from you or come to the site
We survey everything so that we can design a solution for your greenhouse. Sometimes we can manage it remotely, from photographs and documentation. Then we prepare a detailed quote.

A smooth installation you will barely notice
We agree a date and install the smart ventilation carefully (if you would rather do the groundwork yourself, we will send you a diagram). We check that everything works, explain it all to you and tidy up after ourselves.

We provide long-term service
We use components that last for many years. Even so, we believe in prevention and will gladly take care of regular inspections, so that everything keeps working for decades.
