Build list

1- 36”x36” 1/4” Aluminum Plate
4- Atreum 360 Boards
1- HLG600h-54b Driver
??- 2/5 slot Wagos
1- 100k potentiometer (which only ended up
being a 96k, I added some resistors and get it up to 100k)
2-120v 15a Rocker Switches
2- Sonoff Basic Wifi Relays
100- #6 Self Tapping Screws
1 Roll- 18/4 Solid Core Thermostat Wire(stripped it, and took red/black wire for boards)
2- Fulham SC-120-115-CT8 Sugar Cube Florescent ballasts
2- Solacure Flower Power Bulbs
4- T12 Lamp Sockets
1- Old Drill Bit Box
1- C14 inlet connector
1- C13 Plug End
??- Zip Ties
1 Box - Heat Shrink
4- #6 Eye Bolt
4-Ratchet Hangers

1 Amazon Echo Dot- more on this soon, full automation with voice commands is what I’m trying for.

I ran into some issues along the way, wired and reworked it a couple times, but in the end, I’m happy with where it is. Wiring version 1 had a built in timer, and 120v outlet mounted to the top of the light so they could be daisy-chainable, but in the end, it was just more complex than it needed to be.
Revision 2 ended up with wifi control, so it can be turned on and off from my phone, which I like, especially with the ability to set and adjust the timer from anywhere. The other thing it gives, is the ability to turn off the UV bulbs prior to entering the room. The switch/power box initially was a nice project box, but I ended up putting too many holes in it, and after the wifi revision, it wasn’t usable. I wanted to get it done, so I grabbed the old drill box, and I’m happy with it, as goofy as it looks.

The boards are mounted at about 22” on center if I remember correctly.
Let me know why you guys think, sorry, the photos aren’t the greatest.

Ive also thought of getting Alexa to work for me! But never having played around with the thing its hard to know what settings she would actually know how to change. What would you use her for?
Another issue is the wifi/internet: im not sure id want to have controlls running thru Amazons servers. Is there a work around?

I have mine setup through echo dot plus. Which Alexa. The only thing I can do with it is say, Alexa what is the temp and humidity of flower tent 1, and flower tent 2 and she tells me each. And I can say Alexa, turn off flower tent 1 or flower tent 2. But she cant adjust any settings in the sonoff drivers. Maybe if you somehow worked a audrino into it. You could get Alexa to change parameters. But other than that Alexa is useless for growing.

I'm hoping to get some experience with IFTTT, so I will be able to send commands like”Alexa, water the plants” and it will cycle the pump if the plants need an extra drink. I already have it set up to be able to then off my UV lights, and that kinda thing. It's kinda gimmicky, but they were on sale for 30$, I thought it could be fun. There's pretty much limitless options with IFTTT, I just gotta figure out how it works. Lol

Where'd you pick up that 36"X36" 1/4" plate from?

I even like how your ratchet hangers are rigged.

Thanks, I was messing around trying to find the best way/easiest to lift, this wasn’t it, but for some reason my hooks in the ceiling were crooked, so this made it the easiest to get it square. I was going to get some cable, and run only 2 hangers, but this this is really heavy.

Glad to see you’ve gone with Atreum. They make a great product.

Have you done any testing with a multimeter at each board? What amperage are they running?
What about temps?

Awesome build.

I haven’t yet, but I will and report back. I’m looking forward to another build with their boards too.
I have it dialed back, but it’s not even room temp at 50%. Once my little plants can handle it, I’ll dial it up, and get some measurements.

Yeah, best not talk about how it took almost the entire rest of the world to beat one country. Twice. Just think how lucky we all are to be amongst the first generations in recent history never to have experienced a major conflict.

One country? Google Axis. Entire world? Google the world.
Yes Germany is always full of hate. They didn't gas and shot so many people for the fun of it. Or did they?

I'm sure those that have died or even served due to the lies that have lead us (and kept us) into Vietnam, Iraq, Afganastane, etc, etc feel good about no major conflicts, as does their families.
