I am building my own combined weather station, soil monitor and irrigation system using <br>
the Raspberry Pi Zero because I could not find what I wanted and almost nothing lets you do anything <br>
not provided by the vendor.<br>
<br>
For ready made software, there are good choices based on either Python or Javascript. I might learn <br>
enough python to customise or extend the base.<br>
<br>
You can go to the Raspberry Pi site. For Aus, Core Electronics has a heap of parts and projects. <br>
Jaycar has a good general electronics range.<br>
