Sorry for all the typos...writing theae messages on my cell...lol
I just bought XY-TRO1 and inside is STH30 , second generation sensor.
Hello I am super greatful for all the work you have put into designing and sharing this setup....I will be using ypur planns to construct my own martha as it is by far the most tined setup o have comee across. My question for you is does this setup raise the temperature insode the tent much above the aambient temperature in the external enviroment.. if so how much d I es ot increase and is it relatively stable? I suppose this probably depemds on the parameyers you input and the pre existing enviroment it is set up in, but I am going to be growing a fairly finicky fungus and it likes a slightly warmer enviroment than normal room temperature and llikes it stable. Have you found it necesary to add any sort of heating unit to this tent and if so can it be conntroled with the upgraded humidity/ heating controller and would i need to add anything else to the control board?
Once again thank you for all your hard work and desire to help others...whhen I am in a position to I will be buying you several cups of coffee and definetly will do my best to help anyone else i can...thank you again😊
Hey Aaron! It's very nice to make your acquaintance. I am happy that you find value in my videos. Your mail was perfectly readable for me. I will answer it as follows:
• My DIY Controller uses the XY-TR01 humidity AND temperature controller, thus you can use any heating device in conjunction with my board. I also added a space where you can place the connector so that you can easily put the controller between the power source of the heating device and the device itself.

• As a heating device, I have played around with some for the tropical grow tent I am currently designing. There are many that are waterproof, and some also come with a regulator to choose the intensity. This way one can use the heating device without a controller. One just plugs it in, puts on the desired intensity level, and checks the temperature inside, in case the chosen level is too high or too low. This is a list of items I would consider using:

▫️ 5-45W Plant Warm Heating Pad Waterproof Reptile Heater Mat With Temperature Control Adjustable Controller Indoor Garden Seedling

• When you use a heating dice, I would put some insulation on the ground of the tent, and directly above the insulation, I would place the heating plate. This way, one does not lose all the energy into the floor and it gets where it is needed. One can buy one at any home depot (Baumarkt).

• Above the insulation and the heating plate I would place a fan. I designed a very simple stand for the 80 mm fan that I use. The fan should be put on top to spread the warm air evenly around in the tent. This way the conditions will be the same everywhere inside the tent. You can find my design for a simple fan mount here:

• Lastly, I would carefully monitor the exhaust air. Maybe, I guess, just use the exhaust air fan, and let it passively suck in air through the input air hose. Then I would carefully monitor my mushroom in order to find the lowest needed exhaust air volume stream. One could also add a timer and also exhaust only at certain times. All this is only needed when your electricity bill starts to mount up too high. Because you are, in fact, heating the tent and simultaneously blowing the warm air out again, and exchanging it with cold air. If the costs become a matter, I would consider using a kind of this board for setting up time intervals:

I hope you this clarifies the open points that you had! I wish you lots of good success with your upcoming tent!
Take care and happy mushrooming! 🍄🌱
Do you know if Ali express sells one that reads Fahrenheit? Or one that could be swapped for it. I live in USA.
Hi @MoraniDai-ol5kn ! I haven't come across the XY-TR01 controller with a Fahrenheit display on AliExpress. However, it's not a dealbreaker. Since humidity is measured in percentage, the temperature scale (Celsius or Fahrenheit) doesn't affect humidity control. Both scales are equivalent, with plus or minus one degree being the same in both.
For your convenience, consider keeping a quick conversion list next to the controller. This way, you can easily reference and set your desired target temperature. Whether you're using heating or cooling elements, this simple solution makes it user-friendly for your needs.

hallo daniel :) may i ask you a stupid question.... so this controller has 1 output channel for each parameter Temp and humitity. so i guess you have to choose if you wanna increase or decrease your hum/temp before right ? what if you wanted to increase or decrase at the same time? do you have to use 2 controllers ? btw facinating work you do ! :D
Hey, there are no stupid questions ;).
The controller works as follows. It shows you the current temperature and humidity. For each one, you can set up two values. If I want to have Ø 85% humidity in my grow tent, then I set up the following values: 84 - 86. What do they mean? The controller opens the relay at 84% and the humidifier starts working. When the value of 86% is reached, the controller closes the relay again. The same is possible for a target temperature through the second relay, that would controls a heating device. This is the normal application for grow tents as humidity and heat are sucked out through the venting system.
If one changes the values, then the operation changes. This is for using, for example, cooling devices or dehumidifiers. Then the device starts when, for example, 7°C is reached and cools the tent down to 5°C.
Since the often system that you are trying to control has an energy drain in one direction, these controllers work just fine. If you have a more complex system in mind and want to use, for example, a PID controlled target, then I would advise using an Arduino or ESP32. I made good experiences using a Bosch BME280 sensor. One can program these controllers in any desired way. I did not use them in my project in order to make it easily accessible to as many people as possible.
What are you planning? Feel free to share!
Anyway, happy tinkering and growing!!
@@diy-mushroom-tek so in order to actively cool and heat id need a second controller , or a better one....guess you could just set it the other way if needed . My plan is to control a grow tent for plants. I ordered two controllers maybe I build a mushroom box for my mothership as well :')
Yes, you are right. If this is what you need, I also have a grow tent for plant cultivation. Here is an impression I just recorded for you: th-cam.com/users/shorts_KAyfSostlU
The question is about the goal. If you want no change in temperature or humidity, then you will need a second controller. Maybe during the day, it will get too hot because the UV-LED-Lamp is running, and lots of energy is converted into heat. So, during the daytime, the tent will be warmer. I turn down the lamp during nighttime. One reason is because it simulates the natural way of things, and the second one is that during the daytime, I can use the energy from my 600 W solar balcony system and greatly reduce the cost of maintaining a grow tent.
Anyway, when the tent gets colder during nighttime, the humidity will also skyrocket. This is because cold air can hold much less water than warm air. For me, this is fine because it simulates the dew that also occurs naturally. That said, one must be careful that not too much dew falls out to avoid damaging the plants. I spoiled my first vanilla plant with this effect because I did not consider it. Since then, I added an extra fan on the floor and increased the exhaust air to reduce the time with higher humidity content.
So, it is a complex question, and the humidifier, lamp, (heating), and air system are intertwined. I still think that one controller might be enough for one tent because plants also have robustness and do not need a permanent temperature value but are made for day/night differences.
That said, for a mothership, it might be different. When you have high energy input through the sun, I might also consider adding a second controller to cool the system down by powering up an extra exhaust system that pulls in cold air from the north side of the structure.
I would be happy if you would share some of your progress with your fellow growing enthusiasts! Anyway, great undertaking! Best of luck! Happy tinkering and growing! :)
@@diy-mushroom-tek you are such a nice guy :') thanks for all that input. I am new and have no clue so it may take a while ...anyway do you have a discord , would be the perfect place to share and getting inspiration
Also would you be interested in printing the parts for me and letting me pay you for your time?
Hey @MoraniDai-ol5kn ! I appreciate your interest, but I don't have an Etsy store or sell any items. I recommend checking out Facebook Marketplaces or Craigslist, where you can likely find individuals willing to 3D print the .stl files you need.
Alternatively, consider getting a 3D printer yourself-it's not as challenging as it may seem. You can find used 3D printers at reasonable prices, and with software like Cura for slicing, the process becomes straightforward. Just ensure the printer bed is leveled, set the correct z-axis offset, and let the printer do its job after inserting the Gcode via an SD card.
There are plenty of helpful tutorials on TH-cam to guide you through the process. Best of luck with your mushroom endeavors! Happy mushrooming and perhaps even happy printing!
