I would ask the question exactly as you asked it here. I don’t remember anything posted that was close to what you wanted, but if you ask it there, someone who follows that thread may give you something.

LOL!!! Sorry, this misunderstanding is probably my fault, but it is kind of funny.

The point you are missing is that the main person to ask in that thread is me. I started that thread. It my personal HPA grow thread, so I am pretty sure I already know exactly what I would tell myself when I ask the question

But, as it happens, I DID ask this same question in my thread and I got some answers that did help, so thanks for the suggestion, and special thanks again to @MicroDoser

Im laughing party because it occurs to me that it is much better to be told to ‘go ask yourself’ than it is to be told to ‘go F#$@ yourself’

@Sebring

Yep! OG is a very friendly community, so it’s best to ask the question, even if it’s been asked before. Repeat questions means there is a common problem and repeating the answer will help others find the right answer easier.

Yup. Gotta love OG Its my favorite forum by far

Seriously - thanks for the help guys!! This is not the best option for my HPA problem, but I will be doing this - or maybe an arduino option - to replace my Sonoffs and get me and my data out of china and off the cloud.

Just picked up a raspberry pi 4 with a gift card I got from the in laws. Going to give this a run with no coding experience. What can go wrong here?

[lefthandseeds]

You don’t need to code anything, just follow directions to load up the operating system on an SD card and then install node-red. From there, it’s mostly dragging and dropping widgets from the web interface and doing configuration.

Thanks lefty, will be diving into this shortly

Nice info.

My only question, with UPS/battery backups being readily available these days at a fairly decent price, why not provide UPS support to specific growing devices to prevent catastrophic failure of a grow?

Any suggestions on a humidity sensor? End game to run keep a small ‘greenhouse’ at high humidity

[lefthandseeds]

I’ve seen some pretty cool videos using the DHT11. People adding temperature/humidity dials. You can find some videos on YouTube that show how to set it up.

@lefthandseeds, while playing around on the dubya dubya, found this little project for you when bored with nothing to do using Arduino
