have to correct myself, therea re 3 types of motors, AC brushless, and DC brushed and brushless, was a bit sloppy, mixed the 2 "worse", sry, btw lovin my BLDC brushless, very silent , needs very little power. great you got a dimmer which will work for your fan and can be integrated in to HA...

hm, i think there is no ready made solution for your needs. if youre not in to heavy diy on the control side, you have to stick to whats avaiable. Sounds like a great idea to have 4 trays sie by side and see how they react in comparsion, i hope you will share some pictures and insights. My 2...

sounds like a plan, you for sure took care that the ordered smart plugs are compatible with home assistant ill guess. regarding the dimming smart plug, it might be difficult to steer a fan with it. no clue if you ordered a AC brushed or DC brushless Fan now but both can give problems with a...

i see. well, beside the dc measuring problem. one thought. Ali 5 in 1 Controller Tuya Zigbee Wifi Smart LED Dimmer 2.4G RC Support Alexa Google Assistant for 12V 24V CCT RGB RGBCCT COB Strip...

when you say 24-25V, i say why not as it will give you more options to power them. somehow these cheap RGB 24V Led dimmers coming to my mind, no power measuring of course but quite effective way for your "DC-DC" needs. while you would need some small limiting resitors (not so nice) maybe or...

yeah, there is no ready to go solution am aware of either. The INA is still a nice find as its supprt up to 60V. I mean, this sensor can be brought in to HA aswell Rocket, its just not really plug n play. these PZEM-003 linked above are at least cased and in combination with an esp32 and esphome...

wifi is also fine to me as long its local and not over the china cloud. they all have their pros and cons. BT low energy have a very limited range, i need to use a wifi BT proxy to use my Miplant sensor f.e. Zigbee have a nice product range to my view, also good battery driven devices which is...

have to say that i used Wifi and Zigbee, Zigbee wins for me. The Nous A1 ones are pretty good outlets and very small, can be stuck next to each other in the outlet. While when you combine some with a esphome based PZEM DC current sensor you will need Wlan anyway (for the ESP), so a wlan smart...

mini pc wise, this guy does nice reviews. these N100 ones are so cute. they draw very little power, just a tad more then a raspi 4 and they come fully equiped with ssd lots gb ram, case, power supply. normally they all will run HA very well. i do use some similar with a celeron 5105, 256gb...

you can have AC multichannel or you can have AC voltage/amps/watts for cheap . not so much avaiable for DC incl. power measurement, but it sounds you could get away with these below, i mean the most important will be the power draw i guess. check amazon or else for NOUS A1Z Zigbee will do...

i would simply try to use the HA itself as the controller with some rules you setup. you prob. will aim for a target temp anyway, lets say 28C room, leaftemp is usually 1.5-2C lower. so you integrate your heating in some way. electric heater with a smartplug, a radiator can be steered with a...

@JavaCo which tools you would need to achieve a optimal VPD is very dependent on the climate of the growroom youre growing in. I do monitor my VPD and can achieve quite optimal results by using a dehumidifer most often, ymmv as beeing said above. Nowadays i would only use electronic grow...

if theyre ESP based, which i guess, you can consider seting up a homeassistant enviroment and try to flash your module with the help of a USB UART adapter with ESPHOME, if you just need some PWM outputs it could work out.

i did used 5 Cobs in a fixture with one in the middle and it made a hotspot, wont do that again. if that info is any help to you.

thanks for your thoughs Prawn and especially for posting the spectra. not sure here, Bugbee grows high THC plants since longer, there of videos about it showing the facility. While youre right that the older studies are prob made with low THC plants. TOCC is refering to "Type 1 (high-THC...

@Delps8 i am very thankfull for Chandras and Bugbees work and would agree that its the best info out there. but let me throw this article in to this discussion. https://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/article/growing-under-high-light-intensities-lighting-report/ on a quick read i would say they...

sounds good, keep posting. btw. hope Nachooo is fine.

OK, well UVC is like wanna kill your buddie :D. UVB is still some to care for, but you guys have enough sun there and know how to deal with UVB i guess. You may do a AB comparsion with and without?

good to hear youre building, keep us updated. 295nm ? or 395. 295 should be quite agressive allready.

there is probably no measured data for low amperages, so output is a bit random. same for the blux calc, you can see it also varies from led to led and also calcualtor version to calculator version (more measuring points added here and there it seems). bit ago i went deeper in to it, but you...
