Regulating Temperature Using Reinforcement Learning

Check out this repo to see how we’ve applied it. While building our home garden controller, Kindbot, the chief objective was to maintain ideal environmental conditions. Plants thrive under stable temperatures which is often a challenge for those running powerful grow lights in a small space. Let’s consider a generic microcontroller connected to a environmetal sensor breakout. Furthermore, let’s assume you can control a heating/cooling appliance via the microcontroller’s GPIO pins or through communication with a smart plug over the LAN....
