The cheap unscientific version, but the same goal as Matt D... Temp and humidity control.

Can't see it well but I can irrigate the plastic and throw up as much shade cloth as I want. Watering the plastic and the ground around the hut instantly boosts the humidity while lifting the plastic skirt around the edges keeps the temps lower.

I'm not sure if a bunch of sensors is necessary, I can pretty much use my own senses to keep things in the optimal ranges.

I want the plants dry now that there are tomatoes growing I cant get the plants wet. But I can get the plastic cover over the plants... wet. Seems quite silly but the tomatoes enjoy being both in the rain and out of the rain.
