U ever played with raspberry pi systems i would like to build some sort of BMS system for my groowroom go automated all the way like a trend systems on commerical buildings

I'm using a Raspberry Pi Zero W to provide the Wifi functionality and to host the web server, database, etc for my solution. This stuff is so cheap now a days it's crazy.

Minty can you elaborate WIFI ? host the web server, database what for yr biz

It's an attempt with a automated grow room. The main hardware automation is being controlled using an Ardunio which doesn't have Wifi capabilities so I use a Raspberry Pi Zero W which does have Wifi to 'host' the Ardunio. Because the Pi Zero has loads of room etc I stick my web server and database on it which allows me to remotely control the grow room using a browser.

I have, but for this I used a much smaller and cheaper microcontroller, something like this: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/33045353 ... lsrc=aw.ds

It's much less powerful than the raspberrry pi, so you can't really use it like a full blown computer but it works for my little project of just monitoring the grow. For controlling aspects of this you have to indeed look at the arduino or the raspberry pi - Minty did an awesome project there!
