And thus to minimize the associated repetitive tasks and optimize the process.

It's simple. And should also remain so if you have little time for it.
It's simple! And should remain so if you have little time for it.

## Thoughts about growing

- It should not be necessary to check if the plants need water.
- Watering should be done automatically but only when necessary.
## But what can it do?

- Nor should there be a need to know if the temperature is optimal.
- Windows should open when it is too hot and close when it gets colder.
### It provides:
* Simplified use of a <b>raspberry pi</b>
* A '<a href="https://docs.growautomation.eu/en/latest/workflow/input.html">input</a> =>

<b>framework</b>
* Easy interaction through a <a href="https://demo.growautomation.eu"><b>web interface</b></a>
* Independence
* The software-system has no need for external resources like cloud-services nor internet access
* A customizable <b>dashboard-system</b>

- A storm is coming?
- The windows should close by themselves.

- Would you like to know what conditions have led to more or less yield?
- We should analyze the data and find correlations.
- That's how we can learn from our mistakes.
### It empowers you to:
* <b>Add</b> your <b>custom devices and actions</b>
* <b>Visually monitor</b> your sensor <b>data</b> via dashboards
* Use the web-ui to <b>easily troubleshoot</b> your hardware setup

- Want to know how your plants are doing?
- Just check the stats on the website - comfortably from your smartphone.

### It can help you:
* Getting started with your own automation system
* Prevent <a href="https://docs.growautomation.eu/en/latest/basic/troubleshoot.html">common mistakes</a> with your <a href="https://docs.growautomation.eu/en/latest/device/input.html">hardware</a> and <a href="https://docs.growautomation.eu/en/latest/setup/wiring.html">wiring</a>
* Optimizing your growing environment
