so I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are about grow room monitoring system. I was wondering if it would be worth putting one together and if I can put one together reasonably priced, would it be marketable.
I was thinking of having a raspberry Pi hooked up to a bunch of sensors(EC/pH/temp/DO/CO2/humidity/res water level/...), take readings, push the data to a server, and have an on-line login/webpage to view the data. could also set limits to allow email/text notifications if the readings go outside the set limits.
I've looked into this a little bit and the R-Pi is pretty cheap but the sensors are very expensive for 100% submersible 100% of the time.
I know Bluelab has one for $400 for only temp/pH/EC.
I also know this wouldn't be for the closet grower, it would be way too expensive. I'm thinking this would be more for the larger/remote operations
thoughts?
