Hello again, I got a arduino MCU and I started working at the project. I used the UI in the previous post and I set up the temperature and humidity. But first I set up the arduino at the On The Air mode. I followed this instactions for OTA .And that means if the arduino is connected at the wifi...

I read a little more about node red and I think that I have a more specific plan for what to do.First of all I will use Node red to connect all my device and the node-red dashboard for the UI. For the first version I will start simple. First I will try to set up the UI. I installed the Node-red...

Very good! @Niwashi .I have seen the IFTTT as a general idea but If i understand correctly you can't make it easy to communicate for the arduino. I ordered some smart outlets to play with. Until then I plan to play with the arduino and how to handle the temperature humidity. How MQTT server will...

@Niwashi If you have Sonoff smart outlets it is possible to run a MQTT server I can she here. Probably you will not need to play with high voltage. You can look in github here but I am not proud of it. I think that has a lot of problems and may be will be usefull for some parts of code. In the...

@Niwashi I think that you need to learn about MQTT. It allows you exactly that.You create a Broker and then different devices can exchange messages on topics. For example lets say that I have an arduino with relay for lights and a other one for the water each one can listen to the topic that...

Here Is a very simplified diagram. The arduino has 2 main functions. The setup and the loop. In the setup fuctions there are some jobs that has to be done. First It has to check if there are previous settings if yes just configure with them.If the are not previous settings it has to wait to...

@Niwashi I have try to connect varius sensors with raspberry pi and I noticed that rasp could not read always the currect value.I think that the cpu of the rasp cant read the signals from the sensor but I am not sure. How did you do it with Homeassistant? What is the main problem that you can...

for de/humidifying and cooling It could use the fans and for heat may be a heatbed.You can control the fans though a dimmer. I have seen that some they buy some devices that they spray water to the air but it is to expensive to start with. What do you using for that?Does it work well?

You are kind of right. The main class will give you all you need to create what ever interface you want. The problem is that every screen in arduino is working different and you have to know how to code that. The idea is to have a very good API so the developer can use it and do what ever he...

Lets try and be more specific.I will try to explain the general plan that I was thinking.The hardware that will be used : -1 arduino uno (or mega). It could be a good idea to have a wifi module. -1 raspeberry pi (could be any OS). -some sensors (e.x temperature, humidity) -some relays. The...

I understand what are you trying to say but there are possible solutions for that problem.For example as a first step I could be a very basic prototype that can use a average grower and then try to scale it.The cost on the other hand (yes it goes up if you buy the hardware) but you can create a...

Hi I have studied about indoor growing and I have tried to create a DIY automated controller for indoor grow with arduino. I have seen a lot of projects that they try to do that but all of them is either old or they have a lot of bugs and it is difficult to scale the code if you want to do...
