What does the Aero™ GCX Microclimate Sensor measure?
The Aero™ GCX Microclimate Sensor measures:
Ambient Air Temperature
Relative Humidity
Atmospheric (Barometric) Pressure
The Aero platform can also be expanded with compatible sensors, such as wind, rainfall, and macronutrient sensors.
Is the Aero™ GCX Microclimate Sensor solar powered?
Yes. The Aero™ GCX Microclimate Sensor is powered by an integrated solar panel and does not require external power or wiring.
Does the Aero™ GCX require Wi-Fi?
No. The Aero™ GCX Microclimate Sensor does not use Wi-Fi.
Instead, it uses a built-in cellular SIM card to securely transmit environmental data to GreenCast Connect. During installation, the sensor searches for a cellular connection, which may take up to 3 minutes.
How long does installation take?
Most installations can be completed in just a few minutes.
After powering on the sensor, it may take up to 3 minutes for the device to establish a cellular connection and appear in GreenCast Connect.
Can I install multiple Aero™ GCX sensors?
Yes. Installing multiple Aero™ GCX sensors allows you to monitor different microclimates across your property, such as:
Frost-prone areas
Shaded and sunny locations
High-value turf
Areas with poor air circulation
Can I use Aero™ GCX with Spiio™ Soil Sensors?
Yes. Aero™ GCX Microclimate Sensors are designed to complement Spiio™ Soil Sensors:
Together, they provide above-ground and below-ground environmental measurements, giving you a more complete view of conditions across your property.
Where can I view Aero™ GCX data?

My sensor won't connect.
After pressing and holding the power button for approximately 3 seconds, the LED will flash light blue while searching for a cellular SIM card connection.
This process can take up to 3 minutes.
If the sensor still doesn't connect:
Confirm the sensor has adequate cellular coverage.
Power off the Aero™ GCX Microclimate Sensor by pressing and holding the Power button for approximately 3 seconds until the LED begins flashing red.
Once the red LED stops flashing, the sensor is powered off.
Power the sensor back on and restart the installation process in the GreenCast Connect app.
If the issue persists after retrying the installation, contact GreenCast Connect Support for further assistance (contact information is provided at the bottom of this page).
Can I move my Aero™ GCX sensor after installation?
Yes. If you move the sensor to a new location, you'll need to update its location in GreenCast Connect so your environmental data remains accurate.
