Hello,
I've built nearly fully automated aeroponic grow in the past. Wireless security system to monitor it, ph, etc. Electronic valves wired into wifi power outlets to control nuts flow to water ratio/flush for each strain etc.
What I didn't have was the ability to remotely adjust the height of my lights. So there was a bit of stretching as I had WAY to many lights to adjust them.
This run, I'm going to incorporate a 5 callon bucket of super concentrated nutrient solution with a drill and auger attachment. I can remotely mix the nutes and water on a timer.
But, I need a way to raise these darn lights. I'm thinking about simply buying a winch, mounting all the lights to a large 2x4 reinforced box system. 4 point cables, to a single pully, across the ceiling, to a winch mounted on a wall.
First, I'm certain this will work but looking for pointers. This is quite a few lights, so the light rail threads I see will not work.
Second, I need someone decent with electronics to walk me thru wiring into the remote control so I can remotely trigger, up and down, the lights.
Very simple.
I'm proficient with wiring and soldering but not determining what electronics qill be needed to actually wire the remote setup. I'm thinking wiring the remote into a wifi trigger of sorts with cellular backup for the entire system.
Let me know fam
