“Better than I expected, quite easy to set up. According to documentation should last for months even on a few AA batteries, if configured to run and upload measurements at not too frequent intervals. Also, no soldering needed, so this is pretty much a plug-n-play kit.
The only downside is that this is limited to 3 sensors and 3 pumps. I assume this is dictated by Pico's 3 inputs ADC limitation, but theoretically could be resolved in some future more advanced version of this PCB with an additional ADC chip. That's my only gripe, please provide an 8 or 10 sensors/pumps version!”
“The documentation could be improved. In particular, it would be helpful if the specific version of software used was provided. Over time, the versions of Influxdb and Grafana change and the UI doesn't match the Enviro Grow write-up (terms used (for instance database vs bucket) and screenshots differ).
A pointer to Raspberry Pi Pico would be useful for people who are unfamiliar with interacting with the Pico (it's quite different from other models of Raspberry Pi.”
“The pimoroni team helpful respond in a few days of contact. But I've just started chemo so haven't been able to get back to my enviro grow watering setup so can't really give a good review. but I can say the quality of the products are superb but for an amateur setup it will take time and patience. The pimoroni team will help as much as possible so just be patient. I will give a review when I'm able to get my setup up and running. The tech is amazing when working and the fact it can have multiple setup and sensors it's amazing product.”
