Arduino - controlling fans and door/hatch greenhouse

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi

 

I have not got a arduino yet, just checking what this thing can do for my greenhouse.

 

I want something that can do this :

 

  • Open a small door/hatch temp controlled
  • Start two fans 12v temp controlled
  • Watering system (thats for last)
  • Turn on and off heat and lights (for now this is 220v)

 

Can arduino controll 220v also? For me I've some stuff on 5-12v and 220v from my garage

 

Could anyone give a parts lits of what I need for this? Never used anything like this, except for raspberry pi, but thats not the same?

    Hi

     

    I can skip the 220v project for now, most important for me is controlling the fans and the small door. Motor for the door is a drill motor 18v and the fans are radiator fans from a car (yeah low budget style) so they got motor to run it.

     

    Amps on the fans are somewhere between 10 and 15 amps, not sure, but 15 amps fuse working image

    A simple Logic level power MOSFET should do the trick there ?

    I would think that the MOSFET idea proposed by Peter would be the easiest and most efficient way to do what your looking for without the 220v.
