# How do I hang my Grow Sensor in my environment?

### P**ositioning the sensor**

* **Hang it at canopy level** - Align the sensor's top with the tops of your plants for the most relevant environmental data.
* **Adjust as your plants grow** - Move the sensor up as your plants develop to maintain accuracy.

### A**voiding interference**

* **Keep it away from direct airflow** - Position it away from fans, vents, or extreme conditions that can distort temperature and humidity readings.
* **Centre it in your grow space** - If possible, hang the sensor directly below your lights rather than off to the side.

### M**ounting with the hanging cable**

The Grow Sensor includes a simple and effective cable system for easy height adjustments:

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Pull the cable end to raise the sensor as your plants grow - it will move with them.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
At the end of your grow, lower and reposition the sensor at canopy height for your next cycle.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### U**sing a tripod mount (Alternative option)**

The Grow Sensor also features a standard threaded tripod mount on the bottom of the unit. This is perfect for setups where hanging the sensor from a cable isn’t possible. Any standard tripod will work.
