There are a few other implementations I have seen. Home Assistant is used in another project and that was inspiration for this effort. I've been using this project in my garden for several years now to manage sensor data and trends. This is a new implementation that should be interesting to others looking for cost effective controls.
So - if you have a raspberry pi handy - you can just install this code and start with basics like monitoring CPU temp.
Then add sensors to become comfortable with the process, using for monitoring first. Good sensor layout is critical to good control systems since there are feedback loops in this specific design that are complex. Bad data can create bad controls if the design doesn't protect for that. In hydro, that can mean alot of dead lettuce.
I come from a background that worries about high availability and resilience, so I'm a lousy salesman. I try to be a good engineer and that takes all my attention. I can tell you this is really good code, if you can build stable hardware ( wiring is the usual suspect ) that provides consistent results. Makers/Techies usually get it, others have to take a longer path.

Kyle is pretty awesome when a user has some issue - way above what I have seen in other projects when you get him interested in a problem. I mentioned hydro projects and pointed to an existing project based on Home Assistant and he went full control gonzo with the peristaltic pumps. Who knew? Before that, it was LoraWAN sensors to do remote greenhouses. I've been working on a wireless light spectrum sensor - that I use to characterize LED and other light sources I use in my tent.Thank you for this video, nice rock solid projects!
interested as wellHello!
Bumping an old thread, I just joined this community upon reading this thread.
Did anyone implement a successful raspberry pi hydroponic (DWC) setup for cannabis? I am kickstarting my indoor growing journey, and this is the path I wish to take with this setup. I plan on setting up a twinnable setup, so that I can double production easily. Please feel free to PM me on this matter, I'll be investigating other threads on this subject.
Cheers
It definitely is an interestig idea.
Looks to be laid out if one has the money to buy in.
Something I think would be fun to tinker with .
Definitely has perked my interest in the one being played with.
are you using a raspberry pi? i was hoping to find something without and just run straight into HA with ESPHome or something. the RPIs are running 150+ last time i checked@Smokey0418 the most expensive piece was the atlas ph board and probe(190). Everything else is pretty much $30 and less per part.
I'm running home assistant via virtual box (virtual machine). you can use a old laptop also.are you using a raspberry pi? i was hoping to find something without and just run straight into HA with ESPHome or something. the RPIs are running 150+ last time i checked
so no RPI? you are not running mycodo right? i thought it required RPI.I'm running home assistant via virtual box (virtual machine). you can use a old laptop also.
I'm not using mycodo, only home assistant.so no RPI? you are not running mycodo right? i thought it required RPI.
i have HA running on Vbox on a pc already
ah cool. then i want to hear more! i want to use HA only as wellI'm not using mycodo, only home assistant.
