You just looking for some receptacles with USB ports? I get mine from Harbor Freight - they cost $10 each with a coupon and have 2x 2.4V USB ports. Very reasonable :tup:

Nah, these outlets turn on and off via the relay board. Temperature,humidity and soil moisture sensors relay info to pi and then it turns on and off the fogger, heater or mister based on the readings. It takes a reading every 10 minutes. :tup:

Morning guys. Got the check this morning for the car. Looking like I'll be the "proud" owner of a 2016 Toyota Corolla with 20k miles on it. Or until Susan's Versa dies and I give it to her. God do Nissan vehicles suck nowadays.


After my wife’s Rogue, I knew we had bought our last Nissan product.

It's not a bad car, but my God does the cvt just feel like it'll grenade at any given moment. I give it another 50k miles and it'll be done. Currently sitting at 96k.

That’s more like it. I’m IT challenged. I’m more like , ‘Power Button = On/Off’. If problem exists reboot. No fix, call IT.

That’s how we fixed electronics in the 80s. I still remember holding reset and slapping the side of my NES so it would load.

The relay here is like the power button. When it gets a signal from the computer, it closes the circuit and turns on the outlet. That powers up the device thats plugged into it.
So say the humidity gets below the low threshold of 70%, the sensor inside the tank sends a signal to the computer. The computer sends a small electrical signal to the relay which then closes the circuit letting the electricity flow turning on the fogger which raises the humidity in the tank. It runs for a set amount of time and then the computer turns off the relay, opening the circuit, turning off the fogger.
