Environment Monitoring

The proper environment for growing mushrooms is important, the proper temperature moisture and growing medium are essential for growth.

Grow Sensor

The grow sensor is a project using a ESP8266 wemos D1 IoT device that has addon development boards and sensors that are reported to a central service. These modules include DHT Sensors solid state relays for controling water pumps and lights.

Sensor Components

!TODO: Add code for controlling the sensor

Sensor Features

Listed below are the features for the sensors.

• Host web interface to display current temp and moisture
• Record Temperature and Moisture
• Push Temperature and Moisture to logging database
• Update configuration for logging location

GrowPi

The GrowPi project leverages a rasbperry pi or other computer to monitor the growing environment. The project is buit in python and has the following features.

• Temperature monitoring and tracking
• Light Monitoring and tracking
• Moisture and Humidity monitoring and tracking
• Threshold Alerting
• Host web service for recieving temperature data
• Push configuration to sensor
