Features

  • very simple GUI interface
  • manual mode or auto program mode
  • temperature / humidity monitoring
  • simply configurable by configuration file

Hardware requirements

  • 1 Raspberry pi computer
  • 1 cheap 16 relay module
  • 1 bme280 i2c module
  • at least 3 DC voltage regulator modules (3.3v, 5v, 12v)
  • a suitable power supply
  • desired actuators (led strip, water pump, fan, heater ... )
  • [optional] touchscreen

Important note : Raspberry pi GPIO logic output is 3.3V. My relay board has 5V logic and relays are powered by a 12V input. Relay board logic is indirectly powered by a 5V regulator connected to the 12V input. In order to make it work with the raspberry pi, i had to unsolder the 5V regulator onbord, and power logic via an extern 3.3 DC source.
