Hi Dmitriy, This is a great idea! I don't think I'll have a formal presentation, however, I have been attempting to automate parts of the indoor growing process (for herbs and such) with Home Assistant<https://www.home-assistant.io/> as part of a hobby project. Automation of soil moisture level monitoring and watering are possible, and monitoring of sunlight, air quality, and temperature are fairly straightforward. PH monitoring and stabilization is more of an issue... I may have further thoughts to share at the meetup. Personally, I like the idea of having a virtual/remote meeting this time around as you will be providing a demo, and I will be out of the country :) Looking forward to this topic!

I will start with OpenHAB as visualization and scripting IDE, Zephyr as a sensor OS, GATT and MQTT as communication solutions. Richard, will you present your project? Do we have other presenters or shall we start a discussion after? I suggest the meeting goes virtual since I am planning to demonstrate some OpenHAB in action that I can do only at home. Thoughts and comments? /Dmitriy On Sat, 27 Aug, 2022 at 4:16 PM, Dmitriy Korovkin <dnkorovkin [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com> wrote: I would prefer to talk about used tools and technologies rather than pieces of hardware.
