soil station

Post by mchd17 » Sun Apr 22, 2018 9:16 pm

How about a soil station plugin like the Indoor data plugin. I am using 4 temp and 4 moisture sensors. It would be cool to keep the max and min data, and be able to show that. With a graph you would be able to see rise and fall in sensors.

:D :D

I went with the complete soil station from Davis. Comes with 4 temp and 4 moisture. I also installed a Leaf Wetness Sensor. All wires are ran through pvc.

Well now I am really, really impressed. Seems like to you did it the right way with a lot of effort. May have to look into this as I have a lot of farmers close by also.

Hi,
the API supports unlimited number of soil T and moisture sensors so you can save these to the db (use the Extra sensors section in the Control panel)

Hey Jachym

I already am saving soil sensors to db. Now what's the best way to graph them? High charts? Suggestions or ideas would be great. Thanks

Apart from very few exceptions I use Highcharts, which is IMHO the best graphing library. Very rarely I also use Rgraphs or D3 for things Highcharts cant do, but they are far more difficult to use.

Is there any graphical solution for visualizing the "soil-datas" like temperature charts?
