Hi, I’m very familiar with the arduino environment, and Blynk, but haven’t used Particle before. So thought I’d just see if what I’m planning will work well. A greenhouse controller: Connect to my home WiFi, monitored with the Blynk app (3) 110 receptacles for a couple heaters, and ventilation f…

Have a look https://docs.particle.io/datasheets/accessories/legacy-accessories/#relay-shield

@SouthernAtHeart , the relays are rated at 110V, 10A so make sure your heaters and fan are rated under that. Also, since you doing 110VAC wiring make sure to follow, as much as possible, local electrical code (wire gauge, insulation, etc.). How will you power the relay shield? The relay shield tak…

I’ll get a good quality 12V wall adapter (I by my electronics from DigiKey) The folks also have Google home. So I just looked at that a little bit and it looks like particle plays nicely with adding custom commands to google home. For example “OK Google, what’s the humidity in the greenhouse?” I’l…

@SouthernAtHeart , I am not aware of any direct Google Home integration. There is an Alexa integration however.

Oh yes, I was thinking Alexa and Google home were kind of the same. I saw a nice YouTube video of Alexa working with particle. I did see something that said Google home and works with particle I’ll have to research it out.

https://www.blog.google/products/google-cloud/new-maker-toolkit-iot-ai-and-google-cloud-platform/ Here, google actually recommends Particle, so it looks promising!

@SouthernAtHeart , seems a bit complicated. You may want to look here on how to use IFFFT and Google Home: [image] Switching 5 relays via Google Home, IFTTT & Particle Raspberry Pi Not sure if this is a good place to ask this but I’ve just got voice command to connect to …
