I built a controller to open and close my chicken coop door and lights based on sunrise/sunset schedule.

I uploaded the code to github at https://github.com/vinthewrench/Coop2

It controls a light and Actuator for the door. has a WIFI interface as well as optional REST or Telnet console command line to setup schedule and events. The code is perfect for process control projects, weather stations etc.
A lot of useful examples of how to do things.

I used the following parts

1) SparkFun RedBoard Artemis

2) Qwiic Shield for Arduino modified to work with Artemis (removed voltage level converter)

3) ESP8266. wifi controller

4) SparkFun Qwiic Quad Relay.

5) Digital Temperature Sensor - TMP102 (Qwiic)

PA-10 Mini Linear Electric Actuator 12V to open and close door.

I will add some documentation about the project shortly as well as a diagram. in the meantime you might find the code for WifiParser and ESP8266Mgr useful.
