    I appreciate it good sir. It’s fun, and a learning experience. Going to catch the issues beforehand, and am grateful for you and @caexx for helping me. Onwards! I think I’ll go ahead and switch to flower Saturday. 8-)

    The soil moisture sensors have quality control issues. Unreliable for flooding checks.

    No problem! Arduino is a fun way to build something from scratch. It's good if you know basic AC/DC circuits, controls wiring, and the Arduino IDE for coding. If you are looking for a middle-ground solution (no coding, but still some hands-on/plug N play), I found this Energizer smart outlet...

    Hey bud, you make a valid point, and you're right. Do you by any chance remember if your sensors were "resistive-based?" The ones I used are "capacitive" meaning inside soil, they can't corrode. It's a perk or "upgrade" as opposed to the cheaper resistive-based sensors. Anyways, thanks for...
