Good people, how are you doing? I am looking to automate the room where I am and I am still looking for products to do so, research brands such as Pulse grow, Gsense, etc. But they are out of my budget. That's why I'm looking for alternatives, more than software dedicated to the automation of cultivation, it's more for the home. Does anyone have experience with Arduinos, Sonoff, etc?


good smoke

I don’t know if this or something similar is in your budget, but these and an outdoor mechanical timer is all you need for the basics.

Temp and humidity controllers


I brew beer as well.

Homebrewtalk.com has a lot of guys using adruino to automate their systems. Concept is the same, *do this when that happens*. With the cost of components you will be right around the cost of the above though, albeit with much less control than you could achieve with programming/tech.

I did arduino watering it worked for 2 months until the dirt eat the moisture sensor and my coding said well if its dry give it water....i flooded my home

With better coding and few backups works great and super cheap

With more money most brands like ac infinty spider farmer..... have a connection box to put all your sensors fans light humidifier.... and have it all smart and over wifi

They are really reasonable compared to others. What part of Argentina? I visited cordoba a few years back. I went to go dove hunting and had a great time.
