Hey gorwdiaries! What a ride this week's been. Had to play a bit of rescue hero with my plant. 🌱
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! 💡🔥
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. 💧🌿
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. 📊🌍
So, that's the weekly scoop. Here's to keeping the green dreams alive and thriving! 🚀🌼
Was ist das für ein System um deine Daten so im Blick zu haben ? Bin auch am suchen um alles noch einen Ticken besser zu kontrollieren können .
Ansonsten happy Grow 🍀🌱
@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
