New Microgreen Automation Controller

Showcasing the progress on the microgreen automation controller.
Please let me know if you want this controller to have a specific function and I might include it in the next iteration ;)

I like how you share the whole process of creating a very professional controller. Something i would love to see added: growth programs. What i mean, i would like to be able to save a certain amount of pre-programmed schedules for different seeds. By simply selecting the schedule, it would be so cool if all the events are automatically scheduled in google calendar. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for you feedback!
I plan on working on that feature ;) happy to hear that others would also like it

Saw your post on FB 👍

Great setup, dude! I am looking into doing something similar. Somethings maybe you could look into:
1. Mesh bottom grow trays for hydroponics. Allows more of a root system to come into contact with the grow solution.
2. Capacitive moisture probes that you can put under your substrate to be able to finely monitor substrate or root moisture content.
3. Individual flood and drain solenoids for each 10x20 tray. This will allow you to vary watering as per crop recipe.
4. Redundancy shutoffs or alarms for fan and light failure (current monitoring maybe) or photodiode, and airflow switches.
5. Flood mitigation. Level sensors where if a valve gets stuck on, it would shut off pumps and activate drains as to not flood your grow tent or house.
When I learned PLC's a long time ago in school, we always had to think of people, production, and property damage risk mitigation through automation.
I wish I knew how to program like you do! Amazing job! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for the great feedback!
Some of this stuff is in my to-do list ;) I love the redundancy reminder, i should work on that too
I made decent progress since the last video and hope that you'll enjoy my next update (when I get to recording it)
