I’d highly suggest getting familiar with Node Red in HA. Thats where the AI lives.
The interfaces are cool, basic things like simple automations are cool, but Node Red is where I do all the “If / Then” type stuff which takes it to a new level.
And the graphs from the sensors are way cool. They will show you things in new ways, don’t be afraid to constantly evolve your dashboard 
I think its a black hole, eventually there’s so many things I can add to it. Can monitor all of my 3D printers, individually, plus the roomba, plus the grow / dry areas. Can add window / door / motion sensors, control the rest of the houses lights, even see trends there and control smart thermostats.
Just having a control panel for the tents though and being able to control temp and RH changes the game…
Be prepared for your mind to be blown hehehe

Indeed, I have had a flow sitting here for 2 months that I made. Soooooo much you can do in node red that’s for sure. Wish I could see the grow in my 4x4 tent if I had had everything controlled the whole time… Ooh well, I will see it next cycle heh. Thanks once again for the inspiration bud

Yup, the Hex’s Johnny got were from your upload. I made the round ones so my sticker labels had a little more to stick to.
Thinking about the idea of the honeycomb. with a filament printer I could make that easily just choosing honeycomb infill, no top / 1 or 2 bottom layers, and literally printing a disc.

Heh I dig it. I actually printed 20 “washers” last night to use up the rest of my roll so I could load up the fresh roll and keep prototyping my spreaders heh. All this tech shit is so damn fun.

The first memory I have of my grandpa was him showing me his two fists and
saying “the hospital or the graveyard?”
I must have been about four.
Also every day he ate bread with butter and brown sugar.

lol funny… my first memory of my grampa was when I was around 2-3 yrs old running alongside him in the rows of marijuana wanting to ‘help’. He grew/sold/toked until he passed at 92 yrs old in 1968.

Wow we are showing our age today, Nice to hear about Grampa Potseed what a memory. My first memory of my Dgzadi (Ja-Gi) Polish. He came from the “old country” Poland, they escaped the onset of the Nazi’s. He took me fishing we walked to Buffalo Harbor and fished off the seawall, I do remember pulling up yellow pike (walleye). He had a Cat o’ Nine Tails hanging in the shed, it was always threatened by our parents but I never got a taste of it, thank goodness.

Sorry I was bust swapping equipment between tents. HA=Home Assistant (I am sure you googled and found all this already) and it can be used to automate things in many different ways if you have the equipment and ability’s to set it up.
