Sure you could. Could use an inkbird (or similar) controller, or arduino, or whatever.
Nah I mean the thing already has it's own controller. I'm thinking I can essentially just remove the wick and replace it with the misters. I already have a float valve in it.

What thing?
I thought you said you were gonna move from an evap to this (ultrasonic)? They don't come with a "controller" that regulates it based on humidity...
Not sure what ya mean, but yea, either way.

I have a big "whole home" one that hold like 6 gallons. It has it's own humidity sensor and you can set it at a % and itll turn off when it gets there. It's not perfect but its within a few % of the meters I have hung up.

I was inspired by this thread & built a homemade humidifier with a float valve which is hooked up to a large external reservoir that also auto-fills my RDWC, so it doesn’t require refills...

Nice setup all around man!

Bit of a bitch getting under there to fiddle with things I would imagine tho. Can you get at it from all sides?

I'm not as spry an old guy as I'd like to think so getting under stuff is problematic for me. Getting down is easy, getting back up, not so much. labrat.gif

I recently got into Arduinos and Raspberry Pi units. Wanting to make a water alarm for my first project with the Arduino and an esp8266 wifi unit which I just picked up today from Amazon. Hoping I can rig it up to set off an alarm upstairs and send a text message to my phone if there's a leak in the basement from the water pump for the house. Got a 2nd Arduino Mega in the box too but this one is a knock-off. Not as simple as turning a dial and flicking a switch but fun to get into. Building an electronic circuit to control my colloidal silver power too but that doesn't use either of those units. Also got a 100pc PCB kit to build circuits on. Need one. lol

Thanks! I only have front access...
I sit on a round bucket with an attached net pot to work below the scrog, Getting to the very back end of tent underneath the Scrog takes some effort, but I rarely need to do that. I lollipop them before flower.

Great job man. Thanks for sharing.
Is there fan pushing air into the container to force that mist up that riser (?) in the tent, not sure from the pic.
I’m actually using an electric air pump I had with tubing to force the air out, but I was planning on getting a fan.
