Climate desk — Room and Tent

Command (Full Auto, takeover, fan override, strategy, priority tent), the room umbrella, air path, fan duty, equipment tiles, Zigbee by role, pressure and VPD history; the Tent cockpit.

Climate has two sub-tabs. Room is the shared desk: command, the room umbrella, the air path and the appliance ladder. Tent is one tent's cockpit: its probes, Want editors and air path. The zone strip sets which tent is in focus; the header chips show MANUAL TAKEOVER, FAN OVERRIDE or CAPACITY OFFLINE when they apply. Below the VPD panels, 3D TWIN · CLIMATE shows the room in the Climate lens (open in twin opens the Twin desk), and the equipment panel has an in twin link to the Air lens. A zone in the Dry or Cure role gets its Dry run or Cure card above Command.

Every select and target shows saving… → saved on hub, or not applied — still X (reason) when the hub refused or clamped the write. Writes are journaled.

Room °C, RH, VPD and absolute humidity with the Want bands. HELD chips mark frozen readings. Below it the appliance ladder: Heat, Cool, Dehum, Mister (and the 2×4 mister catch-up). Tiles pulse amber near their arming threshold and glow blue in a min-off cooldown. Cool and Mister show no actuator honestly while that hardware is on hold.

The air path map draws intake → tent → room → exhaust with flow in CFM (or m³/h, per Preferences). Solid paths are learned airflow; dashed paths are nameplate guesses until Kit › Learning measures them. The Fan duty % card lists the fans as the brain registers them, one row per fan: the kit's four (IN 4×8, IN 2×4, EX ROOM, EX OUT) plus any fan added under Settings › Light › Devices, with the OUT and RECIRC duty history. Each fan gets the control its tier allows: a hub channel gets a slider that is live only while Fan override is on; a fan on a smart plug gets an on/off that asks first and is not gated by Fan override (the brain never switches that plug and cannot set its speed); a known fan that nothing reads or controls shows assumed duty and a sentence instead of a control. Efficacy shows what the last ladder action achieved.

Each tent has a chosen regime: negative, neutral or positive pressure. The hub gains an Intake budget and a Clone intake scale; the brain reports a pressure target per tent and the net flow. Set both under Settings › Climate › Pressure, where What this asks for states the regime each value asks for. The Air path card shows the measured net flow as positive, negative or balanced.

Bound sensors, placed as zone → placement → position in Settings › Devices › Zigbee. The climate table lists each sensor's Placement, Zone, Device, °C and RH %; a sensor silent for more than 10 minutes shows its last reading greyed with ⏸. Other sensors list every datapoint they report. Safety sensors show Wet / Dry as the raw reading; Problem / Clear only comes from a bound task. Canopy unbound means no canopy sensor is bound.

Placed climate appears once sensors are placed. Per zone it shows the resolved reading and the placement it came from, each placement's averaged reading (with the spread and the hottest and coolest position when several share a placement), and the airflow deltas the brain derives, such as Intake → exhaust, Canopy vs exhaust, Floor → ceiling, Tent vs room and Room vs outdoors. A delta appears only when both ends are fitted and live. A sensor silent for longer than the Placed sensor stale window (Settings › Sensors, default 30 min) is listed but never averaged. Each chip is an entity an automation can trigger on.

Runoff trays appears when leak sensors are bound to the Runoff tray · Pot N roles. Per pot: Wet or Dry now and for how long, Sitting in runoff after the Runoff sitting hold (Settings › Sensors, default 30 min), time to runoff after the last shot or logged watering with its median, and a water-use rank (the pot that ran off first took the least water).

Per-zone charts with the reference bands shaded, lights-off shading, time-in-band, and a temperature × RH VPD map. Chart span chips and shading are Preferences. Under the zone's VPD readout, when temperature and RH are live and VPD is out of its band, a back in band line gives the RH at this temperature, or the temperature at this RH, that would bring it back, and notes an appliance that is offline or out of service. It is advice only; the climate loop still decides.

One tent: its probes, the Want editors (temperature, RH, VPD bands), the tent air path and IN cfm. Edit Want here; command Full Auto and demand on the shared Room desk with the same tent in focus. The 2×4 climate mode is policy: Follow 4×8, Follow plants (brain-owned, refreshed about every 12 h and on roster changes), Custom or Off.

The hub's demand switches are owned by its ladder. The brain proposes; the hub applies. A demand switch you flip under takeover is re-asserted by the hub on its next tick once takeover is off.
