What do you wish could be added to them for your specific situation?
Why am I thinking of what one does in regards to their first born compared to what happens 3 or 4 kids in ? I keep my girls fed, watered, and provide them with a nice home but I just kind of go with the flow right now
However, if I ever get to the point where I want to dial in humidity via machines this type of systems management likely will be the way to go. But I'm pretty sure I'm not slipping any nanny cams into my tents anytime in the future.
convince me that it'd be absolutely bulletproof, long term.
The power strips only allow you to turn on and off from your phone
Single outlet digital timers and power strips with included surge protection are all under $10 and are relatively foolproof

"Existing setup"? I guess you might call not emptying the trays under my elevated plants for the humidity (evaporation) now that winter has brought in lower humidity, a "setup" but that's the extent of it. Even with the summer humidity, it doesn't spike in my house to cause concern. If it was one and the usual tricks of towels in water or increasing/decreasing airflow is overwhelmed by the situation then a humidifier/dehumidifier would be used.Can you describe the way you might begin this migration process and what would determine its success compared to your existing setup?
The reason I'm asking all these questions is because I've ordered one and I plan to do a teardown/hack of the device. I'm fairly confident I can flash the firmware on it with a version of Tasmota and at the same time add a few extra inputs like override buttons. You will be able to configure/manage the device even when it's not connected to the internet and trigger state changes by sending it a simple HTTP request (REST api). Also, @odam2k, I expect to find an ESP-01 or ESP-12 in there, in which case I'll attempt to break out spare GPIOs to provide direct i2c communication (software serial). HTTP REST and i2c will share a common command library.
More to come! I'll provide the summary tear-down here as well as post anything I write (code wise to Git). Please do let me know what you think during the process and fire away with fresh ideas or feedback!
Avoid smart technology if you live somewhere that growing is illegal. All that data you have access to on your phone that you can monitor and alter remotely is generally being uploaded to a corporate server to be monitored and monetized and potentially altered remotely.
@TorturedSoul Tell me more! How can we measure bulletproof?
But that's not going to happen until we stop buying their crap.
