Hey gorwdiaries! What a ride this week's been. Had to play a bit of rescue hero with my plant. ๐ฑ
Close Call with the Light:
So, the plant's been in a race to the sky, growing way too fast. The top leaves got a tad too cozy with the lamp and ended up with some minor burns. Ouch! Had to rejig things and hoist the lamp higher. Crisis averted! ๐ก๐ฅ
Feelin' Good Otherwise:
Apart from that little hiccup, the lady's vibing well. Automatic watering and soil moisture control are doing wonders. It's like having a mini spa for plants. ๐ง๐ฟ
Sensor Calibration Magic:
Gave the soil moisture sensor a little tweak. Now it's spitting out more accurate readings. No more guesswork, just straight-up soil truths. ๐๐
So, that's the weekly scoop. Here's to keeping the green dreams alive and thriving! ๐๐ผ
Was ist das fรผr ein System um deine Daten so im Blick zu haben ? Bin auch am suchen um alles noch einen Ticken besser zu kontrollieren kรถnnen .
Ansonsten happy Grow ๐๐ฑ
@Kazzy420, hi there! I did it by myself using Raspberry Pi and some other stuff from amazon.
here is a full set:
- Raspberry Pi 4 to collect metrics and control environment (63 usd)
- capacitive soil moisture sensor (8 usd for 4 pieces)
- air temperature sensor (12 usd for two pieces)
- air humidity sensor (model: dht22)
- USB powered water pump for drip watering (like 10 usd)
- USB camera to get instant photo of the plant (that was a gift)
- telegram bot to receive environment alerts and to get instant information about the plant including: temperature, humidity, soil moisture level, current day and week and a status of the plant
the next week I will set up scheduled watering (not just by tapping message to telegram bot)
and also I bought Raspberry compatible TDS sensor, but haven't set it up yet :)
I wrote exporter in Python to export metrics to the database and store them for 1 year. I use Prometheus as a database for metrics.
For visualization I use Grafana
telegram bot was written using Python
all the software run on Raspberry
