i don't have an arduino yet but i'm thinking of getting one. i have an idea of something i want to make and i wanted to know if it is possible first.
i'm starting up a high humidity riparium (similar to a paludarium but with more water), and want to build something to not only monitor but take counter measures too in case of problems.
so it's features would be:
measure humidity (and make the data readable somewhere either by messages or a webpage/app)
if humidity is to low temporarily start up a pump that will spray water. (technically turn on a electricity socket for a set time)
measure temperature (and make the data readable similar to the humidity)
if temperature is to low power up a heat cable/mat for a set time (again pretty similar to when humidity is too low.)
i already read that video will be impossible so livestream won't be happening much, probably.
i'm willing to make seperate systems one for humidity and one for temperature (using 2 arduino's) but one system would be better, also if it's easier to make them send me alerts when humidity/temperature get outside set values and have me manually switch on the sockets (from wherever i am.) that is fine too.
i have no experience (i have played around with a raspberry pi, but not really made something) so i don't expect getting this done in a few hours, but just knowing if it is possible, is better than buying something and leaving it lying around.
