Does a single raspberry pi run absolutely everything?
Havnt looked into raspberry pi yet only arduino. Wonder if it’s better. I know when I was looking into ardunio an issue I was constantly running into is not enough output ports and needing to use extenders
Really envious of anyone implementing microcontrollers. My experience is limited to basic arduino timers coupled to those single songli relays similar to what you posted above. The thought of recording environmental stats is appealing.
Well a days research and I’ve got the following list of things I want my raspberry pi to control.
It’s a lot... not sure wether I can get a single raspberry pi to do all this or if I need multiple yet
Co2 sensor
Co2 burner relay
Humidity sensor
Air Temp sensor
Flower res Fill Water pump relay
Flower res Drain water pump relay
Solenoid Valve 1 relay
Solenoid Valve 2 relay
Solenoid Valve 3 relay
Electric heater relay
Dehumidifier relay
Humidifier relay
Flower res Water temp sensor
Flower res chiller coil solenoid relay
Mother res water temp sensor
Mother res chiller coil solenoid relay
Mother res fill water relay
Mother res drain water relay
Clone res water temp sensor
Clone res chiller coil solenoid relay
Clone res mister relay
Foliar feed pump relay
AC fan relay
Mother res ec sensor

Yes no feedings at lights off but I feed right at lights on.Oh wow so they're getting zero water for 12hrs(at lights off)?
Yeah I’ve been reading a lot about it.Yes no feedings at lights off but I feed right at lights on.
You could run multiple arduinos, I know with home assistant it is possible to go that route. HA is good like that, lots of flexibility.Yeah I’ve been reading a lot about it.
I think the issue I will have is sensors are analogue and id have some sensors 10m away from pi, 9m away 5m away etc and they don’t work over that distance from what I’ve read
I may have to look into if it’s possible to use cheaper ardunios which alll sync to the pi?
Yeah after a quick search after you first mentioned it earlier today I decided home assistant was best option.You could run multiple arduinos, I know with home assistant it is possible to go that route. HA is good like that, lots of flexibility.
I will be going Wifi for all my sensors. I have temp / humidity already running with a Sonoff TH10 flashed with Tasmota over MQQT.

For CO2 there is a good cheap option that uses ESPHome and home assistant:
MH-Z19 CO_2 and Temperature Sensor
Instructions for setting up MH-Z19 CO2 and temperature sensorsesphome.ioWhat options for CO2 sensor?
Yes, it works very well with ESPHome and Home Assistant esphome: name: co2sensor platform: ESP8266 board: d1_mini_pro wifi: fast_connect: true domain: .local power_save_mode: NONE reboot_timeout: 5min ssid: "mySSID" password: !secret use_address: co2sensor.local # Enable...community.home-assistant.io
This is why I am going HA for my new build, the community support is huge
Yes, multiple ways to do it. Usually I need to choose the option that my limited skills can achieve lolYeah after a quick search after you first mentioned it earlier today I decided home assistant was best option.
The arduino would just be the sensor right? Providing the data to the pi and the pi does the computation for eg co2 < 1200 turn on burner
Yeah I have some programming experience from uni years ago but haven’t done anything sinceYes, multiple ways to do it. Usually I need to choose the option that my limited skills can achieve lol
Web interface, access when away from your LAN, logging, charts, customizable dashboard, community support, open source etc is why I like it. You could go a different route for sure, its personal preference in the end.Yeah I have some programming experience from uni years ago but haven’t done anything since
Just figured I’d start breaking down the list into sections where the sensors will be close by and I got
Air environment ardunio
Co2 sensor
Co2 burner relay
Humidity sensor
Dehumidifier relay
Humidifier relay
Air Temp sensor
Ac relay
Electric heater relay
But then I think to myself what’s the point of home assistant if that arduino controls the environment?
Fair point. So the ardunio would do the controlling but will have to somehow create a login via WiFi for the home assistant to control the ardunioWeb interface, access when away from your LAN, logging, charts, customizable dashboard, community support, open source etc is why I like it. You could go a different route for sure, its personal preference in the end.
Is home assistant something I just haven't heard of or are you meaning Home automation?You could run multiple arduinos, I know with home assistant it is possible to go that route. HA is good like that, lots of flexibility.

Yeah exactly its just using home automation tech to control a grow room. Instead of turning your kitchen light on and off you are turning your grow lights on and off etc.Is home assistant something I just haven't heard of or are you meaning Home automation?
Have not looked into that but yes looks good. So many options there is always a way to get the job doneI don’t know if you’ve already mentioned it but mysensors looks promising
What would you say the issue with the leaves is on your last photo?
Nute burn. Always happens when running multiple strains some are heavier feeders some lighter.What would you say the issue with the leaves is on your last photo?
I got that recently and couldn’t work out if it was a potassium def or nute burn. Looked a bit similar to both
But my leaves looked exactly like yours with the serrated edges on sides of leaf blade browning
