First time poster, hello friends!

We just finished building our greenhouse here in Australia. 3 months ago this area was full of weeds and basically a wasted space in our backyard (image 4).

The Greenhouse is a Sproutwell Imperial 3180, polycarbonate panels, 2 manual roof vents, and 2 automatic roof vents (haven’t worked out how these work yet…).

Being a nerd myself, I’ve already started integrating the greenhouse into my HomeAssistant (image 3). I’ve got a 3d model that spins and animates when certain things are turned on (fans, misters etc). It’s just a shell for now, hoping to add things shortly and have it somewhat autonomous.

Hoping to post here a lot more in the coming weeks 🙂

  1. Looks nice. What kind of automations are you planning on setting up for it?

  2. Very nice, what’s the foundation, sand ? I’m just curious I’m thinking about sand as a base.

    I definitely would have left the soil open. Not a fan of greenhouse put on sealed ground. To me it’s just double the work, regarding soil, watering etc.
