## Motivation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I want to build a simple grow system, which I can power by my off-grid
|
|
|
|
|
12V solar system. So this project is limited to a small 40x40x120 tent
|
|
|
|
|
for one plant with a 50W 12V grow LED light.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As I did it for my solar system, the measurements of this project will be shown
|
|
|
|
|
on my website. For that a REST API is planned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I want to automate as much as possible which makes sense and is easy to build.
