Re: Hydroponic Growing

new upgrades have been added to the system - auto reservoir top-up from 50 gallon barrel, and moisture sensors in tubs connected to home assistant to automate pump for watering rather than timed watering cutting energy costs.

Re: Found on ebay - Sofar ME3000 SP

My turn today to pick up a me3000-sp bargain. £150 on gumtree , came with back plate, 2 ct coils, and WiFi adapter, it was nice and clean too. 2hr drive though each way - but a nice day out and only £4 charge for 170 mile round trip in the Enyaq

Will be daisy chained to my existing one

Happy days
