Hello,
I have set up my SolarMax, SkyWeather2, and SmartGarden3, with 2 extenders (hydro and soil indoor, pots and raised bed outdoor). I would like one extender outside where it can be powered by the SolarMax, where I would also like it to power either:
a "12v@5 - 21W" pump and a set of solenoids
or
several USB pumps
to achieve water-delivery selection as well as pressure enough to feed a drip-line or a set of sprayer nozzles.
I am also unable to keep the AQI sensor from the Weather Station powered on for more than two days. I have a charger, so I can plug it in, then redeploy it, but I would like to try to keep it deployed.
I have set up four solar panels in a sort-of-parabola, and have several sensors set in different ares to figure out the solar patterns depending on Location and Facing. I would like to augment power from the SolarMax in addition to what the four panels can provide.
Questions:
Do you have a guide for attaching the extender and sensors like that?
Can I plug the SG3 extender into the USB plug on the SolarMax?
I will attach some graphs of solar patterns for all sensors for comparison, and pics of their "locations and situations" later to show more data and give context. I need to garden now while the sun is out. I will take the pics while I'm working and post them later tonight.
Thank you,
~S
