#68190 Hi guys hope you can tell me if im on the right way here.

I will build a led growlight with individual drivers and channels for the different frequency leds and i want to be able to control the channels by time and dim them up and down for sunrise and sundown and create different light recipes

The drivers i will use are these
https://www.mouser.com/pdfdocs/meanwell-1-10V-Dimming-Control-For-LPF-HLG-and-HLN-series.pdf

I would also like to be able to control it from a webpage that i can control from my cellphone or computer and see temperature and humidity

the controller will be built in to the light and i want a lcd to display the current values on the light to if possible

so i figured a esp2866 should be able to do this

6 gpio pins for pwm output
http://www.rollitup.org/t/meanwell-led-drivers-3-in-1-dimming-function.838760/

a dht22 for temperature and humidity

a lcd

and connect the esp to wifi and run a webserver on it

but where do i start and is the esp2866 the right micro controller for this

I will be most grateful for any advice you can give me

Henrik
