hey @@pepitogrillo, i use a custom controller for monitoring and controlling that i design and build myself from a v2 smart controller - i can add any sensors to this. currently, i only have environmental sensors (par,co2, ambient temp, and ambient humidity) connected to the hpa garden and relays for controlling the lights(16hhrs) and hpa pump (2 seconds every 5 mins). i will be adding sensors for monitoring the hpa components, irrigation and drainage next. the controller will show icons (with different colors for state), trending graphs, send alerts, allow remote controller, video monitoring, and even timelapse as shown in the week 3 images. i use the same controller to build the doser also shown in week 3
as for the leaks ... well, i am double heavy-handed when it comes to teflon, in fact, i have to be careful so the parts can still mate after tefloning ... the nutrients at 100psi will find and showoff any crappy connections including throwing them away - many of the leaks were from numerous push connect tubes i had that i kept on disconnecting/reconnecting. shorting tubes, reducing connectors, cleaning and rebuilding things up helped with leaks .. apart from the ones caused by stupid. still, thank you for the suggestion.
