I use an FOSCAM outdoor webcam that is simply connected to the internal network, every 5 minutes I get an image to place on the web. Phase 1 = a webcam image, temperature, humidity and watering the tomatoes. But the worldwide web has a lot of information to build several things with it. Phase 1 was already quite challenging, especially since I had never had a Raspberry Pi in my hands. Something to control the water pumps or valves. Max 30° should be the perfect temperature. A protective layer of scale is added and two automatic opening skylights are keeping the temperature under control.Ĭurrently there are maximum peaks of 36°c which is still too much. An overview of the temperature was important because the greenhouse is quite a number of hours a day in the sun. The temperature and humidity of the greenhouse.

For the last years I always started enthusiastically but maintenance was always a struggle, due to leave home or other subterfuge ) This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'php5-suhosin' has no installation candidate apt-get install php5-apc Reading package lists. I wanted to have a webcam view, a clear picture of the growth of tomatoes. Done Package php5-suhosin is not available, but is referred to by another package. What I had in mind to achieve in the first phase: The Raspberry Pi is a super tiny computer, as big as a bank card, the operating system I have used is Linux.

But how to start? How do you make sure the tomatoes are automatically getting some water.Īfter searching the web, I soon realized that a Raspberry Pi was a solution to control all this.
