Billies Hydroponics Controller

I have been research on the internet for automation DIY. I found this one beauty. it is called Billies Hydroponics Controller.

It is an arduino based program in DIY format. The code is dated by four years so a few updates for the code are required, depending on your needs.
here is the youtube vide

Here is the arduino forum where the code and parts list can be found.

I built this controller. The code is four years old, and requires some updates of software and hardware, but other than that it is a really good controller for hydro management of a reservoir. You can manage a res with proper ph maintained over time. I am looking into adding TDS EC/PPM capability to the controller with a veg and bloom schedule available for dosing.

Reviewing this unit, I find the cost for the sensors is fairly I think replacing the light sensor with a CO2 sensor would be worth the money and time. This controller has some real capabilities yet unexplored

how easy is this for people like me who have NO coding experience like none whatsoever

Well you will have to modify some code and connect sensors. Perhaps you need someone to put one together for you.

You dont have to change the code but you will need to set up rules and notifications
