5 years ago currently the app only has a way to "give out" data rather than receive data, and that (in the last alpha) is broken as Android has an IPC transaction limit of 1MB which for larger datasets (like mine) fails to work. I would like to find a new way around this, but for now has been disabled (i may re-enable it and just add catches for large data sets for now)
There is a great project on reddit called PiGrow (reddit.com/r/pigrow) that has a ton of established features and hardware which may be worth checking out, I always envisioned Grow Tracker to be where you track plant management, and then feed that data into a central system that also collects data from other systems (like external sensors) rather than the app itself tracking/managing everything
Hey @7LPdWcaW ! I will try this feature that seems to come in handy :smile: :ok_hand: And that made me thought, I have just a very little experience in arduino, but I think it could be a very useful idea to try develop an arduino program that would automatically fill the .json database hosted on the server. But that would induce a need to smartly sync the database between server, arduino, and app. I think this can be achieved with git if the structure of your server don't allow it. As I 'm a newbie I propose to start by simply tracking temperature and RH of the garden, but we can totally think of a way to expands stats that it can tracks :wink: Let me know what you think of it, I would be happy to work on a " GrowFiller-Arduino " :smiley:
