This was my first version of a complete system that has almost everything I would want for a hydroponics control system. Although this version does not have a UI it can connect to the internet using the Cayenne software and an ethernet shield connected to a WiFi repeater. This allows triggers and conditions to be made on your smartphone and monitor the conditions of the growing environment. It uses an optocoupled 8-channel relay board for a potential of 8 appliances. The micro controller for this box is an ATmega2560. The final version of this will have all custom boards and won’t use pre-made Arduinos or pre-made relay boards. But this prototype works and is a good physical representation of what I want the final version to look like. The UI and custom boards will take some time and planning. I also want to add things like PPM meters and possibly PH testers.
