A modularised computer to monitor, control and automate hydroponics systems

This project is a work in progress. New functions are being added everyday. Discussions and updates are available here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1916953951765449/

Understanding of how a hydroponics system work in theory is highly recommended for anyone intending to enter this project. This project also involves wiring of multiple AC devices, which can cause harm and kill without proper knowledge, please make precautions and know the risk.

Key Functions (as of 22Apr19): SQLite Database to store sensor data median value per defined interval Telegram Chatbot for remote control via mobile

  • status of real time data
  • status of run state of all equipments
  • pause/continue pump timer
  • manual on/off for LEDs, Water Pump, Air Pump, UV sanitizer
  • warning texts if leakage is detected
