Computer Vision IOT Set up

[Renfro]

One thing I can say, is anyone with any real growing experience would know how foolish this endeavor is.

i am a craft grower, and what makes me a craft grower is the personal attention i give each plant. my weed is good. people buy me out before i even have a chance to give it a decent cure. if i start using monitors and sensors and trying to predict what my plants will do with algorithms, it WILL lose that quality that makes it special...and become cookie cutter regs.
if you want to do this, more power to you, and i hope you figure it out, but i don't want one, wouldn't take one for free.....

you forgot the biggest variable...how smart or stupid the grower is...i'd really like to see the algorithm that accounts for that

Yeah I figured that would go without saying so I left it unsaid. I really did leave that out, thought about it and just left it out. But you got my back! lol Good looking out @Roger A. Shrubber lol!

I think the goal would be to account for as many of the variables you can that are within your control.

Astonishing.

I wish you the best of luck. Maybe I'll be able to offer some form of help when/if you do come back to this idea.

Here is a video or two I saw where a single individual like yourself wanted to create an indoor garden monitoring/controlling device that would save people time, money, and also provide opportunities for learning. I don't know what happened to this person, or the project though. It's from seven fucking years ago, lol!

This automation system sounds amazingly functional: https://www.growtronix.com/cart/blog/growtronix-walk-through-n10
Are you familiar at all with it?

Thanks.

Astonishing.

why? because some of us don't want to throw unnecessary technology at something that has no need for it?
the plant has existed longer than man, with no help from computers, monitors, or algorithms.
quit trying to improve something that you can only make worse with the effort....

No, that's not why. Not because of this strawman you're attempting, but partly because of the fallacies in your other post, the general non-sense and shit attitude. That's partly why, I guess.

Hey, maybe you should stop trying to tell people to "quit"/stop "trying to improve things" and just fuck off and carry on with what you're doing? You sound ridiculous.

Later man.

i'm actually trying to protect the integrity of one of the few things on the planet that i'm fond of...i'll always resist change, when nothing needs changing

here is a link to use computer vision in your own applications and it's not very hard and little programming knowledge is needed.

Also I have a working model for lettuce and stuff, I am just trying to improve upon my old system I designed in college.

http://fahrenheight117.com/product/hydrobot-autonomous-hydroponic-kit/ this is the sensor that connects to each one of my plants that is controlled with a raspberry pi.

Thanks for everyone following the thread and supporting my educational growth. I've learned alot from the start of this project too now and very much still am learning.

I've finished the code for the photogrametry in the grow room but will be keeping it as a purchased product only. I will be showing a free work around to this using blender, a free tool that is easy to use.

I will be posting/starting a video series documenting how to get started with my project and take it over from there and use it in your own provided I get some credit. Like I said I want the community to use it but I dont wanna loose out on a job opportunity as I'm still a student who is trying to sell his skillset and ability to produce said technology.

Here is the first video

So I decided to show everyone how to use a game engine to more easily develop for non programming and programming individuals. Here is it controlling some sensors and actuators.
