The CO2 meter has an analog output put along with an analog output put for temp (in ^C) That gets dumped into an AD/DA converter in a PLC. ( I can multiplex the analog input to read more then the 4 inputs/2 outputs of the module, but no need thus far) The Co2 meter also has a RS232 output, but haven't herd back from the mgf on the protocol for it.
The PLC has an Ethernet port on it routed through the firewall so the PLC programing software can access it and make any adjustments.
As for the roll your own vs DIY, its going to be a combo of the two. I will be making an RS-485 network in the house for full house control, and the plant stuff, will just tag along for the ride on that. (gotta love RS485, a mile long and 255 nodes) All rolling into the house brain (a Mac mini)
Any Qs?

I'll try to get some pics up this weekend. I might work tomorow (ugh!)
Cleaned up the bloomroom, found a prob or two with the program/interlocks.
Should go online tomorrow with the program.)
The seed plant is looking awesome!
One clone is nute burned. (but hanging in there)
Other clone a bit burned, but new growth looks killer.

right on, that gives me some room to Google 
what sort of house functions are you controlling with the system? this stuff always amuses me problem i have is what to do with it other than like climate control and security... as far as the house goes... i can figure ut a few things in the grow room to do with it 
feel free to PM me if you dont want your diary clogged with this stuff.

Put up mylar in about 1/2 the bloom room.
The new control program is going online tomorrow.
Veg room is going from 24/0 to 18/6.
My watering may not be a big issues. Seem to only water once a week. And I'm home most wekends.
A few new pics. The seed plant in bloom, and a couple of the veg. The shot of the three in veg, the closest is laz, I'm so psyched how she's coming along.
THe big plans are a 400 or 600W HPS for flowering and to only flower during winter. Using the lam heat is a good thing. Cooling it is kinda dumb.
But on that dumb thread.....
I'm thinking of one of those dorm fridges. Toss a res inside of it and pump the water out to a radiator in front of a fan.

Looks good man, nothen like the pics on Amsterdam seeds though.
True. but hasn't been harvested yet and far from a trimmed bud.
I was just thinking about that today. Longer its left the browner it would get.
Maybe the bud in that pic was in flowering for 4 months

Quick update and thoughts:
4 new pics 2 of the seed plant and 2 of the good clone. (the clone pics didn't show the buds well. Not looking awesome but better then the pic) Buds all down the stalks. The 2 clones each have 4 main colas.
The 2 clones are rather nute burnt. One massively, but buds still growing, so gonna let it roll.
The seed plant is producing quite well. I kinda like the trips. Nice to come home to a big change!
Going to do my main growing in the winter. Offset the heat with the light, and not have to need more AC in summer. Going wit a 600W HPS and probably a few floros for lower lighting. (ideas? Tubes? CFLs? T5 seem too pricey for sup lighting.)
Starting to look at seeds for my vacation trip. Planning on a straight Sativa, a straight indica, and a blend, and probably some poppy seeds (always wanted to try opium)
Been a week for the clones in the areogarden. Look just like they did when I cut them. So they ain't dying yet (ain't have great luck cloning. Still trying different methods)
Veg room looks great! Mary and Jane are thriving. Laz is looking awesome for what was a dead plant. Momma Cass is still phat and fat.
When this flowering crop is over, the areogarden clones should be in soil. I'll take a few more cuttings from Cass and toss her into flowering. She will need an x-plant. I won't have anymore room to go deeper on the new pot. Will wider be ok? I can go rather wide.
Still looking for the right nug to steal and try.

Thanks. Its a work in progress, like most of us. The 2 150W HPS seem to doing ok.

nah, until I start smoking that much, no need.
The hot air coming out will still fight the AC, and since I'm away a lot, rather not have the AC on while away.
For the 600W, I will be getting a hood with the duct connectors and glass, duct work and a good fan. I have the 4 inch version of that fan and its kind meek-n-mild.
Stole a little nug last night. Tossed into a draw to dry out.

Wow!
Now its been about 10 years since I've smoked. Stopped for a few reasons. Made me lethargic, got tougher to find, kinda pricey, and just lost the happiness of it.
So off to beer. Now that has come full circle. So back to weed.
I stole a nug off one the burnt clone. Let it dry in a draw for a couple of days.
Well I just christened my pipe. I whittled it up out of some tulip wood. not done, but functional. I like the little 2-3 hit bowl size pipes.
Well. Nice buzz! Didn't taste all that bad for all the nutes in it, not cured, and early.
Quick edit. First lesson. don't get stoned and watch the food channel!

Thats quite a long time. Ive stopped for 17 days here myself but thats no feat like 10 years. Its true though after a while if you can't find anything too good or within the right price you get tired of it/not that high anymore. The nuggets around here are shitty beasters that hardly do anything for ya too..and the headies are overpriced for what they are..4-500/oz with people claiming its this or that strain..I know its usually a lie and not usually one hit shit like you'd want to find..well sorry for rambling on and on..can't wait to see your final harvest! Happy Smokin this time around!

glad to hear it bro, youve already killed ya brain, watched the food chanel already too? Shit you got back to being a pothead quick, lol!

LOL!!!
The buzz didn't last long, so figured I'd snatch another nug. Picked a nice nug with some brown hairs on the good plant and oops, clipped the branch. Damn!!!! now I *gotta* smoke it!
(was an honest mistake. No seriously!)
The Food channel and the Science/Discovery/DIY channels (style-wise.) collectively are on 80% of the time.
(plus some really cute food stars
) The veg room is getting insane. The three clones in the FF soil with FF nutes are just NUTS. Gotta x-plant the seedling, will take a few pics (hopefully with good lighting)
Now after that taste, I MISS weed. Just that quick mellow feel. (had a short fuse last 6 months, hope this will help)
Edit:
The food channel is that like the porno channel in Ethiopia? Seeing what ya can't have? LOL
