Smart Fertigation for Chili
We deployed 8 units of customised Nexus Lite at a chili fertigation farm in Bangi, Selangor — delivering precise automated dosing, real-time monitoring, and cloud-based control across the entire site.
Site Layout
Each Nexus Lite unit is positioned to serve its own fertigation zone, giving the grower independent dosing control and sensor coverage across the whole farm.

Settings — adjust target EC and pH levels, irrigation schedules, pump override control, and more.
Terminal — a complete log of what has happened, for full traceability.
On-Site Deployment
Each unit is mounted with its own auto doser, sensor suite, and control panel — installed, commissioned, and calibrated by the CityFarm team.

Ambient temperature, humidity, CO₂ and lux, plus water temperature, pH, and EC — all monitored continuously.
Automatic Dosing
The auto doser adjusts A/B nutrient and pH Down dosing in real time to keep the solution within ideal parameters.
Cloud Platform & App
Real-time telemetry and control from anywhere, with 6 months of historical data, interactive graphs, and CSV export.

WiFi as standard, with optional NB-IoT cellular for reliable coverage in rural farm locations.
OTA Updates
Automatic over-the-air software updates keep every unit running the latest features and improvements.
Customised for This Farm
Beyond the standard Nexus Lite package, all 8 units were tailored to the needs of this chili fertigation operation.
Main Tank Water Level Sensor
Each unit monitors the water level in the main tank, giving the grower instant visibility of remaining supply and early warning before the tank runs dry.
