Kaydog's attempt at automation with raspberry pi

[Renard]

That sure is an impressive control unit you have made there . Couldn’t program something if my life depended on it.

 Nice one mate. 

 

Did you have the door open at 12:30?

The big temp/humidity drop. 

 

Looking good

Observant one he is! That’s one of the reasons why I‘m way too paranoid to be running a smart System.

 

If I was in a legal country... hell... My groom would look like the inside of a spaceship! 
 

You sure make me jelly.

So I bought some cheap Chinese shite from Alibaba or whatever its called and after 2 whole days trying to get it to work, I have my environment dialled in on my phone I bought a Xiaomi Mi gateway and a Mi Temperature and Humidity Sensor, which cost about £20. 

I've ordered 2 mi plugs which will connect to the gateway and allow me to automate my tube heater. I'm a little reticent to use the other plug for the lights, I'll see how they go for the heater before I commit  The phone app has some great automations, I've set it up so my phone gets a message when my humidity has gone over 65% and temps below 18 degs or above 30 degs.  

This is supported in Home Assistant but I've not sussed how to integrate it yet, that's my next task.

Dont suppose you have a link to the sensors you used ?

what app is logging the temp and humidty??

 

Cheers

I use Meross plugs and humidity sensors, available on the big river site (not allowed to post links) and the Meross app. Have a look at the Pi Camera link on my sig, for more info
