GTMCS Camera

This project is the Pi Zero W Camera used with Grow Tent Management and Control System (GTMCS).

It's pretty much a cobbled together version of just streameye and a few things from the Motioneye Project.

I know this is a waste of a Pi0 to just be used as a MJPEG streamer, but it's just meant as a starting point for DIY folks. As part of the whole GTMCS project, you could very simply move all of your probes and relay controls to the Pi0 as well and do away with Xbee and Arduino all together just running over Wifi. The possibilities are endless.
