Devices for automation for terrariums/cabinets

[alecStewart1]

Hello friends!

So I'm going to be gone 9 days around Christmas and I have a converted Rudsta IKEA cabinet full of plants and while 99% are not orchids, I'm wanting to figure out ways to automate certain aspects in order to minimize the need for someone to come over when traveling.

The two things I think I need to do are:

Change the humidifier:

The one I have is a $40 I got from CVS. It does it's job, but the capacity is a little low and I end up refilling it too much. I also can't control with one with the Inkbird IHC-2000 Wifi I got.

Automate the control of fans:

The fans I have are some ARCTIC P12 Slim CPU fans that are controlled via a DC-to-AC power supply that I can control manually. For some of the Nepenthes I have, they like the humidity to be at 90% or above at night so I simply turn down the fans at night to help up the humidity.

I obviously can't do this when I'm home, so I'd like to find a way to control this remotely and possibly schedule the fan speed based on the time of day.



I know some of you might have green houses or more advanced terrariums, so I'd be curious if you have any suggestions.

Thanks!
