Update: Purchased have been made. Anxiously awaiting their arrival.
- Gorilla 4x4 Tent (w/ high CFM kit): I decided the tent was the place to splurge and provide room for expansion later
- I included the gear board for the pumps/probes I’ll add later on.
- SolSheets DBLX: I wanted to design/assemble my own stuff but I really don’t have the time. This gives me a clean lighting solution
- AC Infinity Clouline S6 w/controller: Again, a self-contained solution, this time for ventilation. Some light googling seems to suggest that hacking the I2C control signal wouldn’t be that difficult if I find it necessary.
- I included the silencer and long carbon filter. So, sound and smell are looking good so far.
- Feminized Gold Leaf and Super Skunk from ilgm.com.
I’m in the middle of some carpentry work as well. I’ll post some photos of the process later but the gist so far is:
- Thicken the inner “walls” in the shed to 2x4 thickness.
- Run wiring to new boxes and fixtures, wire devices.
- Extend new circuits to downstairs panel.
- Test
I’ve also given a bit of thought to both physical and logical designs for the sensor network. I’m leaning towards a pub/sub model leveraging MQTT. I’d have a few ESP32 boards reading and publishing sensor data to a broker running on my docker host. I’ll most likely pull the data into my fledgling Mycodo instance to both visualize and control outputs (fan, pumps, etc.) This will allow me to deploy as many sensor nodes as I want without having to worry too much about maintaining connections with all of them. With a clever enough topic naming scheme, deploying a new sensor is simply a matter changing a couple strings and clicking go (famous last words, I know…).
