Pictures of running TerrariumPI system

[theyosh]

I would like to know how people are using this software. As I have developed a lot of user features, which is cool, I could imagine that there should be at least a dozen TerrariumPIs running. So I was wondering if you can send me photo's of the environment that is powered by this software.

You can upload images to this issue. Just to see how you all using it! Maybe we can even share handy tips...

That is nice, I had started this project but ended up buying herpstats to run my infrared heat lamps since I needed so many. Glad to see more than 1 setup being ran, but I would like to know how you did it (parts used) :) Sam Simpson RAD Octopus LLC https://radoctopus.com 418 Peoples Street, Suite 110 Corpus Christi, TX 78401 … On Fri, Jun 3, 2022 at 2:17 PM TheYOSH @.> wrote: I now have 6 of the 15 enclosures running on a single TerrariumPi without any issues.

Hi,

I have one Pi4 running the TerrariumPi SW and also with as few DS18B20's & BME280 connected to the Pi GPIO.

I have 3 Sonoff 4CHR Relays flashed with Tasmota with DS18B20's connected to them, 2 more ready to add more enclosures. and a couple of 4Gang power boards also flashed with Tasmota for anything that needs transformers to run.

All you have to do then is make sure you have the right temperature sensor and relay connected to the right enclosure.

Equipment list 1 x Pi4 5 x Sonoff 4Chr Replay (3 connected) 2 x 4 Gang power board 8 x DS18B20 (5 more waiting to be connected) 1 x BME280 1 x BME680 (for new enclosure)

Once all connect that should give me 28 relays and 15 sensors (might need a few more sensors).

So far I don't get any issue really, sometimes the sensor disappear from the Sonoff device, but rebooting the device normally fixes that. The Sonoff devices allows you to have the enclosures in different rooms with out the need to run control cables.

I would like to try and workout a way to add temperature displays to each enclosure and read the value from the appropriate sensor, just as a visual check when I pass b the enclosures.

Thank you and please keep us posted if you get the temp displays working. …

Just finished adding another 2 enclosures one of which now displays the temperature on a little display. The Display is connected to one of the SONOFF tasmota devices and display the temperature along with the date and time separate to the terrariumPi.

HW: 1 x Sonoff 4CH Relay (Flashed with customer Tasmota) 1 x BME680 sensor 1 x DS18DB20 Sensor 1 x SSD1306 OLED display

You should be able to get 2 screens working per sonoff device and I'm still playing with the setting in Tasmota to get it to switch between the sensors.

Here is my latest enclosure made out of a display fridge that is triple glazed so doesn't loose much heat and you can view from all 4 sides, just needs a few more plants :)

Here is a simple set of 4 shoe display boxes setup with a heat cable across the back and added as a single enclosure for my new hatchies.

Potentially you could send temperatures to the displays from the TerrariumPI if you could configure KNX to work on the TerrariumPI.

@theyosh Thank you for the wonderful work on TerrariumPi. I am using it to control, at least partially, two enclosures and monitor my breeding rack (still a work-in-progress).

Enclosure 1 is an Exo-Terra 40G bioactive setup housing my female super pastel piebald ball python. That setup consists of 2 SHT30s for temp and humidity, a Chirp to monitor soil moisture levels and a Kasa power strip to control the lighting. I'm going to be adding some additional relays to manage the humidity levels and a dimmer so that I can control the heat lamp a little better.

Enclosure 2 is a 20G aquarium that houses my 2 baby map turtles. That whole setup was a spur of the moment purchase and will be getting more automation added as time and money allow. Currently, I'm using another Kasa power strip to control the heat and UVB lights. Eventually, I plan on adding some temp sensors and using those in combination with the Kasa and a tank heater to manage the water temps.

The final enclosure is my breeder rack. It currently houses 3 juvenile ball pythons and will be home to more when I finally start breeding in a year or so. Currently, I am only using it to monitor the temps and humidity with SHT30s. When I expand the rack, I will add additional relays/dimmers to control the belly heat and monitor/manage temps and humidity.

@theyosh , as promised, the latest pics of my enclosures, including my Pi Pico W setup for remote temps and door sensors. I'm still awaiting a few things from Adafruit but those last bits should be in tomorrow.

This is my poison dart frog enclosure that houses 3 juvenile Dendrobates tinctorius Patricias:

This is the enclosure housing the adult bearded dragon I just rescued and the Pi Pico. Her name is Charlie (I'm only 95% sure she's female):

And this is my newest ball python enclosure that is housing my male banana pastel named Bruce Bananner:

I'm waiting on the SHT30s in the weather resistant housing for the dart frog and BlackBox enclosure for my ball python. I will get those wired up and mounted in a fashion similar to the bearded dragon's enclosure.

If anyone is interested in the code I used to setup the Pico Ws to act as remote sensors, I'll be more than happy to share. I know Pi 4s are hard to come by but the Pico W seems to be fairly widely available.

Amazing setups! 👏👏👏👏

[oldmanbluntz]

Just my setup for a veiled Chameleon. 4 DHT11 sensors reading temperature and humidy at 4 levels of the enclosure. A DS1820 for the temperature of his basking area. A fogger set to go off multiple times a day and the dripper tree for drinks. I have 2 capacitive moisture sensors reading the Pathos (there is about 50 feet of it in there) and a Palms soil moisture. They are being read from an arduino nano as script sensors. I also have the 4 0.96" oled screens showing data about everything in the tank, so the wife can check easily instead of checking on Terrarium Pi.

There are 2 zones in the enclosure, above and below the foliage. Squish is around 4 months old if I remember properly. Might be 5 months by now.

[oldmanbluntz]

Oh, and after running the whole setup for the same time using DHT11 sensors, I have not run into issues with them persay. They occasionally, according to the log, have bad readings, but it doesn't affect the overall function of them. After everything I have read, I have expected them to do crazy things, but they've been good.

As you can see in the graphs, they aren't smooth, but they still give enough clean data to be usable.

[oldmanbluntz]

The newest addition. Gus Gus the Bearded Dragon. 20x24x40 inch enclosure. 3 DS18B20, 1 DHT11, 1 BH1750, and 1 Mlx90614 to read the temperature of his bask rock. 1 exhaust fan (soon to be 2), 1 circulation fan that pulls heat from the Bask light and CHE fixture. Arcadia 24 watt 22" UVB light and fixture.

This enclosure is a remote enclosure. It uses an ESP32 running the Tasmota firmware to send out the sensor data over the LAN that Terrarium Pi reads.

My setup for a couple of nepenthes plants (tropical carnivorous plants). Still a work in progress and definitely needs some prettying up ;) but the plants are loving it. Running at around 90% humidity and temperature in mid 20s celsius.

Tank is a repurposed BiopodAqua. Came from a kickstarter back in 2015 I think. Worked well for a while but has been in a shed for many years. Raspi Pi 4 using the docker version.

Sensors SHT20 I2C Temperature & Humidity Sensor (Waterproof Probe) DS18B20 Waterproof Temperature Sensor

Lighting is from a Fluval 3.0 Plant Spectrum Bluetooth LED 32W 61-85cm using it’s inbuilt timer. Heating and the mister run off Meross plugs. Sadly they haven’t released an Australian version of their power board but the Outdoor Smart Plug (2 socket) and Smart Plug (single socket) work fine with TerrariumPI.

Thanks to @theyosh and all the other contributors.

Cheers Kev

I've been using TerrariumPi for a while on a smaller enclosure but I now have it running my 450G/1700L Dart Frog Vivarium.
I'm running two temp sensors and humidity sensor, circulation fan, exhaust fan to change the air inside because its completely enclosed. I also run my day and moonlights as well as misting . Also created Youtube video of the interior. https://youtu.be/w_ah6Rseanc

My setup for my newly adopted 9-year-old Crested Gecko. 120cm (height) x 90cm (width) x 70cm (depth) - Self-made terrarium out of plywood, water sealed, carved styrofoam, and colored tile adhesive. It's the recommended enclosure size in my country 😃

The electronic system:

• 1x Raspberry Pi 4B 1GB, with a GPIO Screw Terminal Hat
• 1x SRD-05VDC-SL-C Relay Module
• 1x Custom made PCB to connect all things together
• 1x BME280 sensor
• 1x HC-SR04 sensor inside the water tank (in progress..)
• 1x water pump (MIUS, from Aliexpress)
• 1x RPi IR camera (wide angle) and a lot of smaller equipment such as cable connectors, DC voltage convertors, etc.

The relays control the ceramic heater and the main lights, as well as the water pump for the misting system.

I use a MOSFET (IRLB8721) to control an LED strip light for sunrise/sunset simulation, which starts about 60 minutes before the main lights turn on.
