Hi,

I have a small homemade greenhouse. I use a combination of ventilation fans and misting to keep my plants cool. I have noticed that the plants seem to cool off better if they are misted with the fans off; then have the fans come on right after the misting for evaporative cooling. Is there any controller that can do this automatically (turn fans on as things heat up; then briefly stop the fans while activating the misting system?)

Thanks!

You can use an electric

You can use an electric controller and sensor which connected with a computer, then use a software to control it

You can certainly accomplish turning the fans on and the misting on with a two stage thermostat. It's going to be hard to find something that turns the fans off briefly while the misters are on and then turns them back on again without spending some money or doing a little engineering of your own.
