Greenhouse Vent Opener

This is a computer controlled vent opener made with a windshield wiper motor. I use a laptop to monitor and record the weather conditions around the greenhouse and determine when to open/close the vents.

Could I get the plans on how to build the vent openers from you? Also what program are you running to control everything? You can message me on You Tube. I would really appreciate any info you could share.

@nativefish Sorry, There are no plans for this...it's just something I threw together. It's all running on a custom computer program I wrote.

I went through a few of the thermal window openers and they failed. These cost me about $25 each to make and I only needed 2 to open the 4 windows vs. needing 4 of the thermal openers.... So this is actually cheaper and of course, more exciting! Thanks for the feedback!
