GrowBox
Model: <a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/3x9uhFN">MARS HYDRO TS1000 Growbox Kit</a>
This project aims to Automate GrowBoxes in order to make the freshes and biggest fruits / flowers of your plants.
Working Features
- WebClient on ESP.
- Inline Fan Control for the analog fan.
- Humidity / Temperature / Pressure <a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/3TYbDtB">GY-BME280</a>.
Planned Features
- Plant height, Supersonic.
- Pump control for fertilizer, water.
- Water warning, via soil moisture? Unclear if this can't be just calculated way better than probed.
- EC / PH, as the sensors are quite expensive i might skip this try or push it way back the road.
Features
WebClient
<img src="./res/client.png" width="200" />WebClient control fan speed and read current or retained conditions obtained by the <a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/3TYbDtB">GY-BME280</a>.

D1 Mini Board Config
<a href="./res/arduino.json">arduino.json</a> or:
<div align="center"> <img src="./res/board-config.png" width="400" /> </div>Inline Fan Fritzing
100Ohm Resistor, BC337 Transistor, D1 Mini, 24v Stepdown. If you dissassemble the Fan you will find GND, VCC, R+ R- as pins on the driver board. CAUTION 220v are transformed on the same board, be aware of it. The R+ and R- pins are connected to the control knob cable, I reused this. <a href="./InlineFan.fzz"> <img src="./res/InlineFan_Steckplatine.png"> </a>
