Highlights:
This week, I was focusing on deploying the system in a larger room. Growing vegetables in my small office room attracted small bugs. Bugs like the smell of basil, so I've decided to move the Infineon system to garage (another reason is of course my wife told me to do so 
).
For remote access,
1. maintaining codes on github, so I can transfer codes between multiple setups.
2. Smart Outlet, can turn on and off lights by a smart phone app - good to control light when we are away from home and out for vacation
3. Added a Real Sense camera to watch my friend vegetables remotely with VNC server on this Windows machine.

Working Demo
I think I damaged the water level sensor by soaking it too deep (may have damaged the components on the top), so it only reads up to 10 % (10 cm) now, which is not accurate. Else, the measurements seem reasonable except TDS measurement. This TDS ppm value is quite high compared to the previous measurements. This is getting very interesting. Maybe understanding all values under different kinds of plants and environment can be a life long learning
Also, I now have a github account and keep updating them on this github repository. Once I clean up the codes and the system is tested through, I try it make them open source and public
When I tried to transfer my codes from Mac OS to Windows OS, a few things failed at the initialization like "include" path for libraries and J-link drivers. These software codes are not really cross-platform on Mac and Windows yet.
But, with Platform IO, "platformio.ini" can be a good solution to deploy this on a different setup for the first time. Once I added those library information there, during the build process, the Platform IO tries to install the libraries and add them to the include path, which is very nice.
Also, I added Intel RealSense Camera to look at our veggie friends remotely.
This picture below shows the real time camera image of veggies while I am writing this Sustain The World blog The left side is Element 14 Blog editor on Chrome and the right side is a VNC viewer showing the real time capture of the hydroponic system and logs on UART console by Visual Studio Code.
Next time, I want to look at more data to understand the environment over time.
