# WORK IN PROGRESS
2024-03-30 17:07:18 +01:00
## 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.
