Thanks! I'm just about to post the next build as soon as I get the documentation finished. I'll put in a fix for this with this next version, thanks for letting me know.

Extremely sorry if this has been answered before, the threads rather large and I couldnt find my direct answer through skimming. My question is what sensors do I go about getting to hook up to this beast, or is there a way at the moment to do so? Mainly temperature humidity sensors but I wouldnt mind a co2 as well if it auto logs it all for me. Much appreciated.

Right now just the sparkfun weatherboard which does temp, humidity, and has a light sensor but it would be fairly easy to add support for another device. I'm looking into adding support for a few other sensors right now and plan to give that section a revamp. If you have any suggestions let me know, thanks!

Appreciate the info fur sure;) What about (and there may be a way already) adding an optional something for soil and worm bins, that is displayed on the front page so that you can keep track of the soil recipe you cooked up and have added to each pot so its much easier to track exactly whats in each strain/plant from the beginning as well as how long each thing was composted etc before it went into that particular plant. Also for the worm bin it would allow you to see what you fed each tray at any particular time that went into whatever pot so that you can recreate those exacts if you find a trend in certain castings you make or soils you compost, and allowing it to be on the front page could also display how long its been since you fed the worms, or turned/watered the composting dirt/re-using soil you have. Perhaps there is not many that would use this function I dont know, but it seems sound and logic to me..and I would even go as far as paying to have it added on, is there a donations site set up for your program?

You could kind of do that with the Rooms -> Nutrients -> Mix & Feed section but it wouldn't display on the home page and would only be visible in the plant records events. There really should be a property from the plant record to display which container, mix, reservoir, or system the plant is in. I'll work on getting that added as well as displaying the container/mix data on the home tab in one of the next releases, will let you know when it's posted. Nope no donations but I can still get this added for you, I think it makes sense and would be beneficial to others.

It could connect to the port and read the output data but it wouldn't format it correctly. If you can PM me a screenshot of the output or a dump of sample data I could wire it up for you pretty quickly.

Sentinel doesn't seem to provide any sort of software to use with the thing, it just has a RS232 port. It has co2, temp, humidity, and a daylight sensors. I newly acquired the thing and have not used it yet.

It's a free program to track your grow that you did not have to write!!!! Iv'e been using it for almost a year now and am very happy with it. If your paranoid about info getting out, use it on a pc that is not connected to the internet!
Paranoia from strong weed , coupled with total and complete lazy bones all over my body made me ask such a dumb question LMAO. now much later and in a somewhat melower mood (different smoke this morning ) this looks like a complete and here is my title "{ Cannabis Accounting / General Ledger Software } "

Try going to the Rooms -> Sensors -> Test Local Connection tab and hit start. If you know what com port it is switch in via the drop down there, if not try them all and see if it can connect to your sentinel. It'll display data in the textbox in the center of the tab if it can connect. As long as it installs via a com port device you shouldn't need any software to read from it.

Will this work on an iphone or does it have to be installed on a PC? Sorry, I'm sure you've answered this with 91 pages, but don't have time to read all the responses. I read the first 9 & last 2 so thanks for helping!

I'm a bit surprised to find this thread here, but even more surprised that it's still active. Is Herb.IQ still being maintained? Is there anything newer than the Sourceforge version?

It's funny, because I used Herb.IQ up until recently and my own project has in parts been inspired by it, but is also the result of things I didn't like about Herb.IQ. If there were any upgrades around, I'd sure like to know. No point in creating something redundant ...
