# How do I hang my Grow Sensor in my environment?
Proper placement of your GrowSensor is key to getting accurate and reliable readings. Follow these steps for the best setup:
### 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:
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Secure the zip tie around the top of your frame or grow tent pole.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Thread the hanging cable through the zip tie and tighten it.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Keep the cable accessible so you can adjust it as needed.
{% 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.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://faq.growsensor.co/getting-started/how-do-i-hang-my-grow-sensor-in-my-environment.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
