Mushroom Humidity Box Kit with Arduino Uno + Relay
Smart Mushroom Humidity Box Kit with Arduino Uno — Automate Your Growing Tent
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Mushrooms thrive only when humidity stays within a tight band. This kit lets you build a real working humidity control box that senses the air inside a growing tent, triggers a misting fan if it gets too dry, and shows clear green/red status lights. It’s a perfect first dive into smart farming and sensor-driven automation—no soldering, just pure breadboard logic.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a complete humidity monitor and controller on a breadboard. The DHT11 sensor reads relative humidity; when it drops below a threshold, the Arduino Uno activates a relay that can switch on a small mister or fan. Two green LEDs confirm “zone OK,” while two reds warn “dry zone.” The whole circuit is expandable for real mushroom cultivation experiments at home or school.
What You'll Learn
- How capacitive humidity sensors like the DHT11 work and how to read them with Arduino Uno
- Using a relay module to safely control an external appliance based on sensor thresholds
- Building a dual-LED status indicator system with 220Ω current-limiting resistors
- Basic breadboarding techniques that translate to any future electronics project

Who This Kit Is For
The clear, all-through-hole design makes it ideal for CBSE Class 6–12 students tackling agriculture-tech mini projects, ATL Tinkering Lab members prototyping climate solutions, and any young maker curious about how IoT can help farmers. If you’re preparing for a school exhibition or simply want to automate your home mushroom patch, this kit delivers a tangible outcome in one afternoon.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
The AI companion can troubleshoot wiring, code, and logic step by step; if you need a human glance, WhatsApp us a photo and we’ll reply within a few hours.
Can I connect a real misting fan to the relay?
Yes, the 5V relay module can switch a low-power DC fan or mister. For mains appliances, adult supervision is required, and the relay’s load rating must not be exceeded.
Does this kit work for other crops besides mushrooms?
Absolutely; any environment where humidity control matters—seed germination, terrariums, or indoor herb gardens—can be managed with the same circuit logic.
Do I need to solder anything?
No soldering is needed. All connections use the breadboard and male-to-male jumper wires, making it completely reusable and modification-friendly.
DHT11 monitors humidity inside a growing tent. Relay triggers misting fan above threshold. LED shows zone status.
