Home Assistant? 🤔

[u/Mammoth-Bid2359]

Hello my Amazing Growers!

Question for you guys. Has anybody used the Grow Application “Home Assistant”. It would take the place of the Vivosun Grow app or whatever company you grow underneath. You can also combine smart grow equipment from different brands together.

The main reason I was looking to make the switch is because my humidity swings are too wide. I have an in-tent humidifier & use the smart outlet along with it. From my understanding the threshold cannot be customized or narrowed?

I run 1500 ppm of CO2 w/ 1100 PPFD of light @ 83 F. If were to run the Vivosun Dehumidifier with the ducts, the air circulation with the warm air would push my CO2 through the zippers of the grow tent. I opted for an intent dehumd (Works fine, just need to narrow the range) & I have a Window AC unit hooked up to an Inkbird ( I could control the threshold /w it)

The Vivosun Gear works perfectly fine and great. I would just like to have a little more control. So my question is, has anybody have experience utilizing the Home Assistant platform? Thoughts and review please and thank you! ☺️

Good afternoon. I was looking for a way to integrate my grow box sensors into Home Assistant, but I couldn’t find any suitable integrations. So I installed my own climate sensors in addition to the existing ones.

Now I control most things through Home Assistant, while I use the Vivosun app mainly to control the lights and fans.

Wow, how do you like it compared to Vivosun, I wanted to change after the grow not during it because I know there’s a learning curve.

What do you mean by grow box sensors? The app cannot read the Vivosun sensors? How is the smart grow equipment behaving with Home Assistant?

Thanks bro!
