Open hardware for hydroponic automation (EC, pH, irrigation, etc.)

Open hardware to measure EC and pH, drive pumps, and otherwise manage a mid-size hydroponic grow over Wi-Fi. - hydromisc/hydromisc

Open hardware for hydroponic automation (EC, pH, irrigation, etc.) launched on July 7, 2021 with 10 votes, #1,371 of 3,502 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 5 years on.

In plain words

Open hardware for hydroponic automation provides modular circuit designs and documentation for building automated systems that monitor and control water quality and irrigation in hydroponic growing setups. The project includes designs for sensors measuring electrical conductivity and pH levels, along with irrigation control mechanisms. Targeted at hobbyists and small-scale growers who want to build custom automation systems, it is available as open-source designs on GitHub, allowing users to manufacture and modify components for their specific growing needs.

  • We open-sourced our compost monitoring tech2024 · github.com · ▲236

    I'm from a compost tech startup (Monty Compost Co.) focused on making composting more efficient for households and industrial facilities. But our tech isn’t just for composting— it’s a versatile system that can be repurposed for a wide range of applications. So, we’ve made it open source for anyone to experiment with! One of the exciting things about our open-source compost monitoring tech is its flexibility. You can connect it to platforms like Raspberry Pi, Arduino, or other single-board computers to expand its capabilities or integrate it into your own projects. Our system includes…
