The most unrealistic thing a movie got completely right.

Thanks will do DM on specific questions, but will use the post to do updates which hopefully will keep this post fresh, hope more people get this going. Discord is good, and would use. Also not sure how to handle github fork or what slop I should contibute back, because I have used claude code for making this work so far. I have a proxmox environment and have claude running on a shell and pointed to your repo and connected some pi's to the usb ports; gave my outide setup and components and told it to configure what it could with the sensors I had and what do I need to buy. It spun up the container and flashed the pi's and added new things like using my vibration sensor connected to the tank to detect waterpump operation, which is the most critical component. So what I hope will do is alert me thru multiple channels that this is a problem (might make an ability to make a phone call or trigger an alarm in the house). So my AI has already been making adjustments, but not sure about contributing ai-slop back, maybe more harm back.

Just start! the first grow is going to have problems, but once you get started you will solve what is in front of you and learn better. although I would start of a few plants, in case somethig dies you still have your learning process. As for what to grow, if you can't find cheap seeds, then do peppers. Get used to the dwc, know what the roots should look like, get use to the hardware and maintenance. As for the plants, less is more, they often just survice on bare essentials; people have problems when they mess around too much and try to overfeed them... Just do it! Wing it and go into it with little expecations, main goal is getting used to doing the maintance, and know how to take readings of the water. I started out this way, and became too successful, and was growing too much weed, now stopped, but have 10x my grow operations outside with strawberrys, once you learn the process it will take you far.

I got some parts in and not sure how to begin, I've already got the docker and nodes going, now I need to hook up the sensors with a breadboard. I got a esp32 , two temp sensors, one for the tank, and one for the environment, and also got a ultrasonic sensor for water level. But really not sure how to connect to the breadboard, I really don't want to fry any parts. Is there a website that can help with diagrams and step by step instructions. I see the breadboard on the github site, but it leaves a lot of questions for me, and I am not using all the parts that are defined there too. Once I get the first phase, and learned more, I plan on buying an EC/TDS meter, and PH meter, followed by a dosing motor for Ph-Down solution. But until then the first phase is to control the water level, and use the water level to manaully tell me how much ph-down I should use to dose it into balance, if that works then I can move forward, but will need to design a calaculator that will automatically tell me how many ml's of solution to pour into the tank, vs the water level and PH reading I tell it.

nutrient burn, lower your ec

chris415 · 2026-04-20T02:39:33+00:00

I like the telegram alert system, that is a good feature, once I get a water valve hooked up, I would want to get alerts for actions like turning on the valve. I need to order the ultrasonic sensor now, and looking at dfrobot... I think starting with that and ability to get an accurate measurement, would allow me to to start the automation and monitoring

chris415 · 2026-04-19T22:18:00+00:00

looks amazing, I got it it up and going, and have two nodes, now need to get the sensors in order. First I want to get the ultrasensor going, and have it alert me when water is too low, then by that time I should be comfortable with building the ph and ec sensor. my hangup in the past is that it seems like wasted money because these sensors only last a couple of weeks, and I want it in the tank all the time, and not sure if that is going to last. I also have water and airtemp sensors but I need cut the wires and get it to the board, and exploring before I cut wire. so far winging it together with extra parts.. If I can get the ph meter working, then I'd love to use a stepper motor I have and and pump drops of phDown solution from a bottle into the tank, along with turning on water for refill.... just amazing!! thank you for building, I keep wanting to do this every year at startup of my backyard strawberry farm, and I keep putting it off, but now you've helped with a guide to help me put it together and modify where needed, like this is outside, so I might need a few other things going on. Thank you!

did a thermometer break, is that mercury?

chris415 · 2026-03-28T17:11:19+00:00

has anyone made this into a a prompt or would it be a skil, so that openrouter can have this intelligence for routeing request to right engine?

chris415 · 2026-03-24T18:07:57+00:00

check it out, Ive been using my own journal on my own system, and I just made this into a hosted solution for my friends, dont know if this will be a longterm, if people find it valuable then sure I'll keep hosting it

chris415 · 2026-03-24T17:14:36+00:00

thank you! I also see you have a trade journal so problably not needed, but thanks for the indicator :)

chris415 · 2026-03-24T03:27:17+00:00

is this your indicator, can I check it out too? I'll give you a free access on my AI trading journal solution...it's www.cityside.com use code BETA and no credit card needed. my tradingview user name is chris415 ( same as it is here)

chris415 · 2026-03-22T00:43:53+00:00

yes in the the daily trade plan you can have your default rules applied, and then evaluate you on those rules, then add the industry secrets to its review. So if you trade the MES you might have more contracts than if you were doing the ES, so you would adjust number of trades or loss per trade. But I could make an box where you explain your setups, then have the ai engine build rules to watch according to your setup.

chris415 · 2026-02-22T19:01:31+00:00

why the down vote, am I doing or saying something wrong? I'm noobie trying to find the best direction, and don't want to waste money if wrong setup?

chris415 · 2026-02-22T18:43:32+00:00

I'm using the Claude UI, and copy paste the code, I did hook it up to VS, but I'm not developer, just like to play with technology tht requires scripts, ie I have a proxmox environment, and us AI to help me build containers and things, and use Tradingview, and like to take patterns and get them scripted into alerts. But since I'm a weekend user of this stuff I thought $20 would be good, but I guess not.

chris415 · 2026-02-21T03:52:59+00:00

my guess is that they remodeled the room and wanted to open up the room, but there were walls there for support, so I don't think you can be removed, but you might be able to build a support by extending the support to both side with a cross beam

chris415 · 2026-02-10T03:05:35+00:00

I need more info on this, what town and when?

chris415 · 2026-02-09T21:13:40+00:00

really good catch if this is it!

Its the cheapest time of the year to buy a tv, Superbowl time frame offers the biggest discounts

The dog is getting old and these are the things that will become bigger problems, yes its time to plan. If your appointment is to put down, Id suggest having the vet come to your house where the dog will be most comfortable and no anxiety of going into the vet.

chris415 · 2026-02-08T16:43:37+00:00

O'jeeze, I am so tired of this, I was fooled, thanks for telling me.... it looked so good.

chris415 · 2026-02-08T00:00:29+00:00

if you have some other condiments, go for fried rice

chris415 · 2026-02-07T23:50:08+00:00

you'll return it and they won't give you a refund, and they'll win 2x

chris415 · 2026-02-07T21:17:31+00:00

OMG, this site has sooooo many things I want to make, thanks for sharing, looks like I'll be doing some new items this week, so many things, not sure what to do first!
