2 to 4 times the quality at half the price? Wiggle wire can wait. The completion date is based on funding time limits so the less I have to spend, the sooner it gets done.

Oddly enough, they have a purchase limit of 1, so I just bought 1, and then immediately bought another 1.

Two different orders back to back which means paying shipping twice or close to it. Goofy but whatever.

With shipping it was a $160 total of for the two of them and the cheap ones cost $144 ea plus shipping.

These things are the last piece of the puzzle for figuring out the logic for opening/closing the tunnel under varying weather/climate conditions inside and outside the tunnel.

I already have all the sensors for that. Inside temp/hunidity. Outside temp, rain amount, wind speed and direction.

Once you have this all together you will be be a Garden Overlord! You gardening life will be on auto-pilot. ;)

I do envy that - but running to and from the Greenhouse to close things down or open them up again IS good exercise. By the 10th or so of June, it will be a barren wasteland - Nothing wants to live in there in the summer heat and humidity. Beau won’t ‘electrify’ it for me, but to his credit he bought more gravel screenings so I can fill in ‘trip hazards’ on the walkways around the greenhouse. So, I guess there’s THAT. ;)

My ‘Space-Age Technology’ is an indoor/outdoor thermometer. ;)
