A garden that thinks for itself.

hydroMazing is an open-source Smart Garden System built on Raspberry Pi and Arduino. It reads sensor data from your growing environment, tracks trends over time, and automates interventions — keeping your plants in their optimal range around the clock.

Built by Cory at CoreConduit, and documented step-by-step so you can build your own.

  • Real-time temperature, humidity, and light monitoring
  • Automated nutrient and pH management
  • Webcam time-lapse and growth logging
  • Local web dashboard — no cloud required
  • Fully open-source and customizable
  • Modular — start small, scale up

"I wanted a garden that could tell me what it needed — so I built one."
— Cory, CoreConduit

Made by Cory.

I'm a Technical Craftsman — electronics engineer, software developer, and lifelong maker. hydroMazing started as a personal project to stop guessing whether my plants were happy, and turned into a fully documented open-source system.

I build consulting projects through CoreConduit. If you need help building your own smart system — garden or otherwise — let's talk.
