I used this project to learn programming.

But nowadays, I have other ongoing projects.

Feel free to play around with it.

• Simplified use of a raspberry pi
• A 'input => condition => output' framework
• Easy interaction through a web interface
• Independence
  • The software-system has no need for external resources like cloud-services nor internet access
• A customizable dashboard-system

• Add your custom devices and actions
• Visually monitor your sensor data via dashboards
• Use the web-ui to easily troubleshoot your hardware setup

• Getting started with your own automation system
• Prevent common mistakes with your hardware and wiring
• Optimizing your growing environment
• Having a great time growing

Version: 1.0

• v1.0 (2021-11 - 2022-02)

  • refactoring setup tasks => using roles provided by AnsibleGuy
  • creating image for easy installation
  • update via webUI (to specific vcs version)
  • stateful service reload
  • user management from webUI
  • local build of sphinx-docs

• v0.9 (2021-09 - 2021-10)

  • action-buttons in webUI => allowing to manually start/stop sensors and actors
  • saving of action states to db => keeping track of active actors
  • added basic dark-mode

• v0.8 (2021-03 - 2021-04)

  • updated condition workflow
  • created basic documentation
  • scripting setup using ansible

• v0.7 (2020-12 - 2021-03)

  • created basic (django) web interface => DEMO
    • functionality:
      • config management
      • system management (systemd / logs)
      • help users test and debug their setup
      • customizable statistics/graphs
  • updated core to use django mysql schema

• v0.6 (2020-11 - 2020-12)

  • object-oriented config management

• v0.3 - v0.5 (2020-02 - 2020-10)

  • optimized code via implementing classes
  • created a systemd service to run the core

• v0.1 - v0.2 (2019-05 - 2020-01)

  • creating basic code structure (functional programming)

• v0.0 (2018-� - 2019-04)

  • dark age (connected scripts)

• core functionalities

  • builtin tasks
    • notification => get notified if the temperature is not optimal for growing
    • backup => timed backup of database and logs locally or on a remote target
    • custom => let the core execute custom timed tasks (cron-like)
  • simple input-device rest-api => every network-attached device can be an input
  • providing offline documentation (pre-build sphinx docs)

• documentation

  • setup and configuration
  • clean hardware setup (easy wiring via patchpanel)
  • creating how-to videos on YouTube

• webUI improvements

  • user management (password change, user settings, add/delete users)
  • actors in dashboard elements => when was an action taken; when was it reversed
  • using AJAX for dynamic data refreshment and workflow optimizations

• improve user-experience

  • installation using a pre-configured image - plug and play
  • implementing more input (sensors), output (actors) and connection devices for native support (air speed sensor/window opener actor/analog to digital converter)

• hardware

  • integration of a scale so that the harvest can be logged
  • off-grid installation => dyndns and hardware-guide
  • sensor-controller/sub-agent
    • we should be able to use an ESP32/ESP8266/RaspberryPico as a wireless source for multiple sensors
    • this would allow the coverage of multiple distributed input-areas (p.e. multiple patches on a property)

• core functionalities

  • agent/server installation
    • server should be able to run as vm or on dedicated hardware
    • cloud-hosted server component

• hardware

  • create plans for 3d printable parts
  • plant monitoring via nfc-tags => idea source
