    Environment control? - Free or Open Source automation e.g. DIY Arduino or similar?

    Very cool - damn I need a Rpi to try that out. Maybe several because Mycodo looks so useful. I could PID the temperature in my espresso machine too. Thanks for the heads up - I've mostly been on planet esp8266 because they are so cheap and I spend all my cash (not that I have any) on weed and...

    Environment control? - Free or Open Source automation e.g. DIY Arduino or similar?

    I really do like the look of esphome and home assistant - I was sorely tempted to have a punt down that route - both those are lovely platforms. I didn't because I saw difficulties installing Hass on my Beaglebone Black (and no RPI here yet) and I can't work out how to front end the thing if I'm...

    Environment control? - Free or Open Source automation e.g. DIY Arduino or similar?

    I was hoping to find an example of some environment controller that can be DIY'd. There's a few that had a go, some that went commercial... But I can't find anything solid. I've done plenty of searching and tried as many projects out as I can (I'm prefering esp8266 - nodemcu). Did I miss...

    Arduino leds should I cover them?

    I believe i had some delays in finishing a crop because a blue led was flashing on an esp32 I've got running a temperature controlled heat mat. For propagation. Led flashed every second when transmitting data on mqtt for a few weeks before i realised. Damn sure they dragged their heels all...
