Setup hydroMazing Smart Garden System

Setup and Use hydroMazing

The Controller ( Arduino Nano ) uses 433MHz Transmitter to send codes to remote-controlled AC Outlets or can connect directly via a transistor, MOSFET, or relay.

Web Services Module ( Raspberry Pi ).
- Optional Web-Camera ( USB Web-Camera ).
Optional ( connect directly via a transistor, MOSFET, or relay. Supports additional sensors: E.C., pH, Light Intensity, more floats and flow-rate sensors.

I liked the simple inventory management system application so much, I borrowed its web interface to improve hydroMazing:

Connect the Raspberry Pi to your local router using an Ethernet cable.
Plug in the hydroMazing Controller unit’s USB to the Raspberry Pi.
Optionally, plug in the USB webcam.
Power the Raspberry Pi.
Use a Power Squid ( Multiple Plugs ) to attach the Remote Controlled AC Outlet Modules to their corresponding appliance assignment according to the hydroMazing Smart Garden System’s settings.

Plug-in appliances to their corresponding remote controlled AC switch units. Most growing environments can be configured as follows:

Use a wormhole service such as Dataplicity.io
Or, Discover the IP address that your router has assigned to the Raspberry Pi, running hydroMazing Services.
Or, use a DDNS service to update the dynamic address assigned to your router and directly access the web interface

Login to the web interface using the admin credentials provided. Example URL of web interface http//[your-device].dataplicity.io/hydroMazing/
Click ~ Settings → Automatic Timezone → Update
Click ~ Settings → Email Notifications → [ enter your email address ] → Save
If your growing environment is not within an Ethernet cable distance away from the router then you will need to configure the WiFi.
Click ~ WiFi Settings → SSID → [ enter your router’s SSID ]

Passkey → [ enter your router’s WiFi password ] → Save
