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 ...

Yeah it's still being maintained the last update 0.7.7 was posted about 2 months ago to sourceforge and codeplex. I don't have any plans to stop supporting it in the foreseeable future and I still have some ideas I want to get into it with future updates.

I checked out your site, looks good and I think you have a great start. I like the idea of using that seedfinder API, I've checked that out before and looked into integrating it. It's too bad it's restricted to a domain/ip so Herb.IQ can't call it directly without everyone having to register individually. That's awesome that herb.iq inspired you to start your own project. I'm surprised there isn't more grow software/websites, I think there's plenty of room for yours and a lot more. Keep up the good work!

You should do more with that main overview page. I really love that ... you can literally watch your plants grow. :-)

Thanks, I hope it'll be useful for some people. Right now there seems to be a little rush with bad commercial apps popping up everywhere, but yeah, free apps are rare. I found that rather strange ... Grower forums have been around for decades ...

Seedfinder can't really check which site uses their API except through the referrer string, which you can define freely when sending a request from a native app. Maybe point it to a real page where Herb.IQ is explained. I think their main interest is knowing who uses their API and some control that their data isn't resold. You can try asking them if they are ok with it ...

If only there were a way to find out if there was a new version...

Um, I said I knew about the source forge version and last time I checked and searched for updates, which admittedly has been a while, the last update was like a year old. Hence I was surprised to see this active thread here ...

Digging it bro, wish product lines and data could be integrated through websites and such to facilitate a smoother setup.

Building each setup can be painstaking but I love the overall concept!

Thanks for sharing!

I have a suggestion it would be nice if you could grade your final product from 1-10 cuz i lie to try a lot of strains. Its easy to forget after a while X-P

Android users, I suggest downloading this app. There is a similar flashlight with magnifying glass available on Apple's app store. The picture in this one was taken with a crappy 5mp lg. If you're on a Galaxy phone or something, I bet this will replace your jeweler's loupe since it offers pretty clear magnification and takes pictures.

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!

Anyway this can work with v3 of the sparksfun board?

Yeah it works with v3, they aren't for sale anymore though. Sparkfun replaced it with a shield which should also work if you use their firmware. It was really just an arduino with a bunch of sensors on the same board.
