Growing plants with the RelaySquid

Here’s another project I’ve always wanted to do … it’s a self-contained, automated plant growing terrarium. There are 2 plant growing lights, 1 bug deterrent light, and a heat lamp, all controlled with the RelaySquid.

The hardest part of this one was just getting all the supplies from different stores. I had to find the plant bulbs from a green store in the neighborhood, the light fixtures from Home Depot, and the white connector from another hardware store.

I set up the small terrarium, and the lights. Then, I plugged all the lights into the RelaySquid:

I connected the RelaySquid to the Arduino, which sits on a time-controlled delay that cycles the lights on and off:

And finally, here’s a close-up zoom in:
