Greenhouse Controller

=Goal= The goal is to develop a Controller using a Raspberry Pi Zero W to collect data from the greenhouse. The controller should work with and without grid-connection. Therefore, a battery will run the controller when the power is out. The battery should charge using solar power so it is totally grid independent.
