    I have been confused by the myriad automation projects, full of technical gobbledyguck, and reading the comments of normal people interested in doing such a project, but finding it too difficult. This free open source project, written by a professional application developer, gives great...

    I wonder if any of you guys are using a different brand probe for Milwaukee MC122? The Milwaukee probes are expensive. Is it worth to buy the Chinese probes? Let me know if any of you are using a different one. Thanks

    First time posting! I have a DIY fixture powered by a two Meanwells (ELN-60-48D and ELN-30-48D). Theese work with 0-10 V dimming (not PWM). Right now I can regulate brightness through a pot, but would like to have an automatic sunrise-sunset feature. There are very inexpensive options...

    So, I am throwing my hat into the arduino total tank build, and I will try and document as much of my journey as possible here. I have tinkered around with the Arduino in the past, but have never attempted anything of this complexity. I have zero real world programming experience, but enjoy...

    Guys after reading a quite a few arduino based builds here a answer continues to defy me. So far in my understanding the process of night time lighting with LEDs mostly uses a separate channel connected to a few low powered emitters aka "moonlights". What i have been wondering ( and scared to...

    All- I found this link through my home brewing hobby. It's an open source wifi dual-temperature controller currently being developed through Kickstarter*. When I saw it in my news feed I instantly thought fish tanks could be controlled as well. While reading the description, they even...
