Automating a Greenhouse with LoRa! (Part 1) Sensors (Temperature, Humidity, Soil Moisture) Svetla: Green houses prohibit heathy photosynthesis. Everyone that eats green house tomatoes does not have protection against skin cancer due to the tomato losing 250 phytochemicals that are naturally in a sun grown tomato. Green houses are a waste of money and you dont have any food quality. That is why i am no longer eating store bought veggies. They have no nutritional value. Same goes for hydroponic grown food

0: 38: But on the positive side this problem planted the idea of an automated greenhouse inside my heads
So you have more than one head? I am confused, because in the intro it looked like you have just that single pretty head.
Anyway, thank you for the greenhouse video series: )

Tip: Either switch out your soil moisture Sensor to an inductive one, one with carbon electrodes or at least deaktivate it, when not measurring. These things corrode fast! (Voltage & Water = Electrolysis)

Man this is exactly what I have been Looking for! Now if you could figure out a daily light intensity setup with supplemental lights that can turn on and off depending on the brightness of the sun!

You might want to use cable glands where you drilled into the base of the greenhouse. Those silicone cables are about as hardy as cold butter, and the aluminum could easily cut through them.

Instead of 7805 regular ic you can use direct 5 volts from usb port of solar charge controller,
7805 is less efficient than usb buck convrter inside the solar charge controller

So where is automation? If it would control temperature and open window if it is too hot, or water a plants at evening and stop when ground becomes moist, then its automation.

I suspect there's a huge voltage drop along that overkill cable you use for the analog sensors. Also, i2c might have some hard time transmitting properly using such cables.

It might be a good idea to mention in case people aren't aware of it, that they need to buy Lora modules that use the correct frequencies for their own countries

I think it would be a good idea to use a fire retardant paint for the wood chest. It would help if anything goes wrong with the electronics or the battery
