AUTOMAIT is steering hard and clean. Through Jul 15 it ran as a 4-zone pilot in Flower East B (Zones 1, 7, 8, 9); on Jul 16 it went facility-wide — all 12 FE-B zones plus all 10 live FE-A zones now irrigate on AUTOMAIT. Over the past five days the established pilot held a deep generative dryback of 30.4 absolute pp (peak ~76% → trough ~46%), with substrate pore-EC restacking 3.7 → 4.4 dS/m — ripening-style steering, and nearly identical to the last hand-steered zones (29.2 pp) right before they too were switched to AUTOMAIT. The low-VWC supplemental path (MIN_WC) fired 50 times to catch floor dips; the high-EC flush never fired (peak 7.0 vs the 10 dS/m ceiling). The next five days forecast a bulking-hold: dryback easing to ~28 pp, troughs recovering 49→51%, EC stacking gently to ~4.4. Grade: PASS. Watch Zone 1’s EC (7.0) and the just-onboarded zones settling in.AUTOMAIT maneja fuerte y limpio. Hasta el 15 jul fue un piloto de 4 zonas en Flower East B (Zonas 1, 7, 8, 9); el 16 jul se expandió a toda la instalación — las 12 zonas de FE-B más las 10 zonas activas de FE-A. El piloto mantuvo un dryback generativo de 30.4 pp absolutos (pico ~76% → valle ~46%), con EC del sustrato reacumulando 3.7 → 4.4 dS/m — casi idéntico a las últimas zonas manuales (29.2 pp). El refill por VWC bajo disparó 50 veces; el lavado por EC nunca (pico 7.0 vs techo 10). Pronóstico: dryback ~28 pp, EC ~4.4. Calificación: APROBADO.
AUTOMAIT is AROYA’s gateway-resident autopilot: every 60 s it evaluates each zone and, when a rule fires, opens the zone’s sprinkler valve for a fixed shot. The rollout at Burly has moved fast:AUTOMAIT es el autopiloto residente del gateway de AROYA: cada 60 s evalúa cada zona y, al dispararse una regla, abre la válvula de la zona por un disparo fijo. El despliegue en Burly ha avanzado rápido:

These are the thresholds the gateway checks every 60 s. minVwc 45% is the low-VWC supplemental-refill trigger (VWC_SUPPLEMENTAL_P2), not a hard clamp; maxEcpw 10 dS/m is the high-EC flush trigger (ECPW_SUPPLEMENTAL_P2, set on Zone 1 only); shot is 40-45 s per fill; cooldown is the 25-min minimum inter-shot interval. Photoperiod ~13h (lights-on 06:00-18:00 local).Umbrales que el gateway revisa cada 60 s. minVwc 45% dispara refill por VWC bajo; maxEcpw 10 dS/m dispara lavado (solo Zona 1); shot 40-45 s; cooldown 25 min.

Pulled live from AROYA. Each AUTOMAIT schedule is one zone; zones with identical settings are grouped below under one slider with a pill per zone. The slider is AUTOMAIT’s single steering control: GEN 1 (most generative — deepest dryback, shortest maintenance) → GEN 5 (pivot) → VEG 6–10 (most vegetative — longest P2 maintenance, held wettest). It sets the P2 window length (steps = value−1, share = steps/9) and selects the gen/veg guardrail block the gateway runs.Extraído en vivo de AROYA. Cada horario AUTOMAIT es una zona; las zonas con ajustes idénticos se agrupan bajo un deslizador con una píldora por zona. El deslizador es el control de manejo: GEN 1 (más generativo) → GEN 5 (pivote) → VEG 6–10 (más vegetativo). Fija el largo de P2 y el bloque de guardarraíles.

The spine of this report. Solid lines are what AUTOMAIT actually produced in the established pilot cohort (FE-B Zones 1, 7, 8, 9) over Jul 12–16; dashed lines are the Jul 17–21 forecast — each metric extrapolated from its own recent trajectory and then clamped to what the live guardrails permit. We lead with overnight dryback in absolute pp, the most diagnostic steering number.El eje del informe.

Two window framings agree: rolling Jul 12–16 (dryback 30.4 pp, EC 3.72→4.43) and the gold-standard boundary Jul 11–15 (dryback 30.5 pp, EC 3.44→4.40) give the same read.Dos ventanas coinciden: 12–16 jul (dryback 30.4 pp) y 11–15 jul (dryback 30.5 pp).
AUTOMAIT irrigates in the grower’s four-phase day. Its six decision paths (first to fire wins) map onto the phases and onto the backend reasons we can see in the event log:AUTOMAIT riega en las cuatro fases del día. Sus seis rutas de decisión (gana la primera que dispara) se mapean a las fases y a las razones del registro de eventos:
Lights-on to first shot. The deep ~30 pp overnight dryback carries into P0 before FIRST_P1 fires — a generative activation.De luces-on al primer disparo; el dryback de ~30 pp entra en P0.
FIRST_P1 then ADDITIONAL_P1 refill each zone to field capacity (~76%) until the gateway detects first drainage. 97 FILL shots in the window.FIRST_P1 y ADDITIONAL_P1 rellenan a capacidad (~76%). 97 disparos FILL.
Holds the setpoint: 50 MIN_WC low-VWC refills caught floor dips, 17 MAX_WAIT cadence shots. The EC flush never triggered.Mantiene el setpoint: 50 MIN_WC, 17 MAX_WAIT. El lavado por EC nunca disparó.
Last shot to next lights-on — the primary steering lever. The ~30 pp dryback is deep and controlled: ripening-style generative steering.Último disparo a luces-on. Dryback ~30 pp: manejo generativo de maduración.
This cohort is steered deep — overnight troughs touch and briefly cross the 45% minVwc line on the hardest-run zones (Zone 7 reached 33.5%). That is not a failure: each dip is exactly what VWC_SUPPLEMENTAL_P2 exists for, and it re-triggered 50 low-VWC refills to lift the zone back up. Substrate EC peaked at 7.0 dS/m against a 10 dS/m flush ceiling, so the EC flush never fired.Cohorte manejado profundo — los valles tocan la línea de 45% en las zonas más exigidas (Zona 7 llegó a 33.5%). No es una falla: VWC_SUPPLEMENTAL_P2 disparó 50 refills. La EC pico 7.0 vs techo 10.

Climate is stable and supports the generative posture: lights-on VPD ~1.1–1.2 kPa, air temp ~74–76°F with a mild negative DIF, RH ~60–62%, CO₂ ~1280–1440 ppm lights-on. Nothing here fights the irrigation strategy.Clima estable y favorable: VPD luces-on ~1.1–1.2 kPa, temp ~74–76°F, HR ~60–62%, CO₂ ~1280–1440 ppm.
Flower East A’s 10 live zones came onto AUTOMAIT on Jul 16 and so far show P1 fills only (~5 shots/zone; no P2 maintenance yet — that begins once the gateway confirms first drainage). It is a lower-EC, earlier/more-vegetative crop: substrate pore-EC ~2.1–2.4 dS/m, a huge margin under the 10 dS/m flush ceiling. Its pre-AUTOMAIT drybacks were deep and erratic (22–37 pp). A real 5-day forecast needs a few days of AUTOMAIT history; treat the outlook as provisional.Las 10 zonas activas de FE-A entraron el 16 jul y por ahora muestran solo llenados P1 (~5 disparos/zona; sin P2 aún). Cultivo de EC baja y más vegetativo: EC ~2.1–2.4 dS/m. Pronóstico provisional.
Method: trajectory-continuation clamped by AUTOMAIT guardrails. Each metric is extrapolated from its last-few-day trend (damped) and clamped to what the live gateway permits (minVwc 45% floor, maxEcpw 10, 40-45s shots, 25-min cooldown). We backtested by predicting the last five observed days and comparing to actuals; median absolute % error below.Método: continuación de trayectoria acotada por guardarraíles.

All numbers are computed from AROYA MCP analytics pulls for facility 3920 (rooms 12403/12404), reduced to daily per-zone peak/trough/overnight-dryback and daily substrate pore-EC, plus the automated-irrigation event log and DFI drip/drain volumes, in facility-local time (America/Chicago). AUTOMAIT behavior is described against the live gateway decision path (evaluated every 60 s): P1 fills (FIRST_P1, ADDITIONAL_P1) win while P1-eligible; in P2 the priority is ECPW_SUPPLEMENTAL_P2 (high-EC flush) > VWC_SUPPLEMENTAL_P2 (low-VWC refill, MIN_WC) > MAX_WAIT_P2 > REFILL_THRESHOLD_P2 (maintenance to the learned WC setpoint). Crop-steering target bands are sourced from the AROYA / Grodan / Athena / Growlink irrigation-strategy reference: bulking dryback 12–18 pp, ripening 25–35 pp.Todo se calcula de extracciones AROYA MCP (instalación 3920, salas 12403/12404), reducido a pico/valle/dryback y EC diarios por zona, más el registro de eventos y volúmenes DFI, en hora local.
