Features

• Easy Device Setup: Setting up your devices is hassle-free with the Growroom Assistant. You can add device details, including IP addresses and tokens, directly within the app's user-friendly settings. To obtain the required IP addresses and tokens, use the Miio CLI cloud commands.

• Tailored Humidity Control: Take charge of your plant's growth journey by setting customizable humidity levels for different phases. This flexibility ensures that your plants experience optimal conditions at each stage.

• Cooler Nighttime Environment (Upcoming): An exciting upcoming feature allows you to simulate cooler nighttime temperatures using air conditioners, further refining your plant's environment.

Getting Started

Installation

To get started, install the required dependencies from the provided requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the App

Launch the application by executing the following command:

python main.py

Initial Setup

When configuring your devices, you have the option to add device details, including the ID, IP address, and token, directly within the app's settings. This streamlines the process and eliminates the need to manually edit the dehumidifiers.json file.

Important: To obtain the necessary IP addresses and tokens for your devices, use the Miio CLI commands provided the python-miio library (miiocli discover, miiocli cloud).

Warning: You will need a valid account craeted with the smart app associated with the device in order to use the cloud command.

Configuration

Tailor the application to your specific needs with these steps:

1. Access the app's settings and look for the option to add device details.

2. Alternatively, you can still modify the dehumidifiers.json file if you prefer to manage device information manually.

3. Adjust settings for different growth phases using the settings.json file or directly from the app's settings menu.

Usage

Here's how to make the most of the Growroom Assistant:

1. Open the app and follow the prompts to configure your devices and set desired humidity levels.

2. Once configured, let the application seamlessly manage humidity levels during various growth phases.

3. Stay tuned for the upcoming feature that enables configuring air conditioners for a cooler nighttime environment.

Debugging and Connectivity

For those intrigued by technical details, a debugging feature logs interactions to a JSON file. Additionally, within the settings, you can manually connect or disconnect operations with the dehumidifier unit. To enable these features, ensure you have the IP and token obtained from the Miio CLI. Remember, you need to obtain these details independently; the app doesn't handle this for you. Also, ensure your device is registered with the online app to access Miio CLI cloud capabilities.
