I saw this posted in another thread about a week ago, did you post it? Don't think so. Anyways, there was something about it that didn't fit what I was looking for (at that moment), I think it's limited to 120V, that might've been it.
I may have posted it a month or so ago.
For sure, especially if dabbling in Rpi, Arduino, etc. Good find and share.
Sweet link for the relay box there.
Cool man. Thanks for sharing a picture.
Beautiful. HASS looked like the best option to me too when I saw LEDgardeners youtube vids on it. But I didn't know where to start, and just how complicated everything would be. Node Red, whatever else, yea, I wish I knew how to do that stuff now - I wish I'd put aside some time to try.
I could have used a 120V triggered relay. But you will find a lot of relays are 5V or 12v trigger commonly. And for me that's also good in a way dealing with lower voltage. One less high voltage connection to make. Very high amperage rating and good price considering the rating. The relay units fel heavy and robust. Already had the 12V adapter (got lots from old electronics). So I picked 12v because it was cheap. Trolmaster unit doesn't know or care about the difference.
wow I'd love to run some extra CO2 and humidity sensors around the room to confirm a good distribution no had no idea you could hook up all that stuff I just thought basic temp etc.
there’s a pretty extensive community of home developers that have made some cool additions. It’s a bit overwhelming to start. I originally bought a pi to run my home automations on something called homebridge. Learning about that led me to HASS. I installed it initially and gave up cause it was too complicated. Once I got my home automation dialed in, I turned my focus to the growroom and gave HASS another look. I’m by no means a computer expert but I’ve tinkered forever. I eventually started to figure it out. Just have to jump in head first!
Should be pretty easy to do. I’m using a thermometer/hygrometer I got on Amazon. I intend to build my own co2 sensor using a node mcu and a cheap standalone co2 sensor.
What a fitting acronym, Hass = Hash in my native tounge.
That would be cool. I wonder what the cost would be on something like that; how cheap a decent/quality unit could be put together for. Too bad a par meter couldn't be easily, affordably made. I'm dying for one, haha.
CO2 meter should be less than $50 in parts. Par sensor can be had for about $100 and probably run off the same Node MCU board as the CO2 meter. I'm gonna try and build a combo sensor in the coming weeks/months. I'll be sure to post my progress.
Don't know if you've seen Pulse One/Pulse Pro meters but I am aiming to make my own Pulse PRO. The Pulse has an awesome app that goes along with the hardware. I'm by no means a developer but I should be able to build something that can collect the data I'm after. From there I will make it work somehow with Home Assistant
Hey, thanks for the input, and the link to your thread there in "the basement" (didn't know about that area). I'm gonna have a look at it. I do remember oldmeduser mentioning he wanted to get into some arduino stuff a while ago.
