My DIY Garden Automation System – Part 1: Hardware

This is a demo of the DIY garden automation system I’ve been slowly building over the past year or so. The system runs off of software called Home Assistant, and is composed of a whole variety of different sensors and boards, like an Arduino Mega, Atlas Scientific pH and EC circuits and probes, and a number of budget sensors meant for specific tasks.

Currently, the system is managing climate control, doing pH and nutrient dosing, fertigation schedule, light cycle, and has flood detection capability. This is certainly a work in progress and I’ll be sharing more about it as I go. I’d be happy to hear any comments, questions, or suggestions you might have, and would like to know what you’ve got going on if you’re doing something similar.

    Awesome build! I’m very interested in using this but I am running dwc. How would you recommend I alter things to get it working on my dwc system. I can assemble electronic components pretty well but I have no coding experience whatsoever. I guess I could do it through trial and error but if you have any advice I would greatly appreciate it.
