It's too much and confusing if you jump right in.

jumping in is half the fun. I'm not concerned about programming the thing as I've got experience with scripting languages. More so concerned about selecting the right items to get it working. I'd love to have one control the timing of everything, ferts, food, lights, co2, etc.
